Good content, poor narration

I'm giving this book a 4 to 5 because there are some very helpful and well thought out solutions to sailing with dogs. However, the narration is painfully unlistenable; it is clinical, robotic and completely lacks emotion. The narration of a book about sailing with your dogs should be at least slightly lighthearted and fun. Unfortunately, it's reminiscent of a flight attendant giving the same safety speech countless times. I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks and this is the worst narration I have ever heard. I got a third of the way through the book and honestly had to stop listening. I went to Amazon and bought the soft cover. I feel bad for the author that this narrator was chosen to read her book.
