Terrible audio

I was super excited to read this book or listen to it rather but the audio is really difficult to get through. There are points where it is like paused, and it comes in louder. It makes it really difficult aside from the pronunciation errors. There’s just a lot of choppiness to the audio quality, not happy about that
