reader

The reader made the story very disjointed by the phrasing. The pause between Main and Street for instance. The story never would be a favorite. The reading made it worse.

I only got a few minutes in.

the pauses in the narration are very odd, it's reminiscent of being in elementary school and listening to kids reading it out loud. it bugged me too much to continue.

Bad Audio

There is unnecessary music constantly playing in the background, the sound quality of the recording is poor, and the cadence of the reading is odd, like it was the first time the reader ever read aloud. It was all very distracting and I found it unlistenable.

The worst reader I’ve ever heard

It says this is a real person, but I don’t believe it. They stop at the end of lines rather than periods. It’s awful. Just ruins this book. I tried to get my money back but apparently Amazon/Audible won’t let me. It’s AWFUL. Don’t waste your money.

The narrator is really hard to understand.

I''m on chapter 3 and I am frustrated. The person reading this/narrating this book, makes it almost impossible to understand this book. His words sound slurred some times, and his lowers his voice at the ends of sentences so the words are hard to hear. I wish there was a different option to hear this book narrated by someone else.
