Good book. Poor reading by Joseph.

Is a good book but the narrator makes it difficult the understanding. He doesn't have the technical and botanical knowledge of perfumery and so the reading turns into babbling. exasperated me. why is somebody who doesn't know how to pronounce names of plants, reading this book?

Couldn’t get through it

The person reading, god bless him, took frequent breathes at weird places, was extremely breathy or something I just can’t explain. It drove me nuts and I couldn’t get through the book, unfortunately.
