The narration is absolutely terrible

OK in all fairness, it may be an all right burger and the story seem like it had potential but I couldn’t even finish it. The narrator is absolutely terrible miss pronounces words in these hard to understand. I hate for this to reflect on the author but the fact is it’s an audiobook and the audio part is obviously paramount.

Unsatisfactory

For the sake of potential readers...
The atmosphere is flat and the characters do not invoke empathy. It's more than the narration, which fails to bring life to the text. To relate the writing to something the readers are likely to have a common reference for...it is the difference between classical and method acting. The story is more theme driven than character driven.
