Fun Book, Terrible Narrator

I have really enjoyed this book series, but switching narrators in the middle of the series was not a good move. This guy is terrible and very monotone. The original narrator was much better.

Slow starter

I know the development of the back story is necessary but it went on and on. once it Cole finally got involved it was enjoyable.

Great story

I have really enjoyed this series, loved the humor and how the soldiers come together to get through the toughest times using humor to brighten those times. Here we have a group going behind enemies lines trying to bring one soldier that is being held home. Not sure that they are only going in for one but that is how the story starts out, what happens is they end up bring more back than they thought they would. It is a great plot, well written, highly entertaining, I love the danger, how the story is laid out, with a touch of romance that most soldiers go through at one time or other.

I am not as happy with this narrator as the one that has been doing this series. There are time when I don't feel what the men are going through there was no true emotion pulling me in making me feel the danger, excitement. I thought he left it flat, I didn't care for some of his character voices. It wasn't a bad audio I just didn't feel the passion that I got with the last narrator. There are no background noise, no repeating of word, it is a very clear audio that I did for the most part enjoy. I thought repeating the name of the book at the start of each chapter was a little to much and took away from the start of the book. I was just getting into the story when Red Sniper was said which took my thoughts to that and not what was going on.Still it is worth a listen if you have listen to the rest of the series you should enjoy it.

The bottom line is it is a great story, narration isn't bad. I look forward to listening to the next one in the series with the narrator that started this series.

it was ok

the narrator makes Bakaro sound like an idiot, zero skills on a Brooklyn accent. however, Russian accent was enjoyable!

Narrator change

I have listened to the previous 4 Sniper books and the narrator voices were great. This book took a while to get accustomed to the voice change. However, the story was great.
