The Narration Ruined This

As much as I was interested in the stories, I just couldn't stand the narration. The narrator's pace was often too slow. There was a distracting sing-song tone quality to the narrator 's reading that was at odds with the action. And finally, many, many words were mispronounced. I may pick this up in text form, just to see how it all turns out.
