The Cousin

A story based on the characters of Pride and Prejudice

By: Miranda Flan

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The Bennet sisters will see how their lives change thanks to their cousin's return to England and their lives.

Johnathan Edward Gardiner returns to England after spending many years apart from his family to further his business. However, when he arrives in England and finds his family, things are not how he expected. Will he be able to confront and overcome the difficulties that will befall him and his family?

terrible narration

I realize that computer generated narration cannot be very good, but this is the worst I've heard. There are many pauses in the middle of phrases, if I remember correctly even a pause in the middle of a single word. Besides that, there are frequent confusion of gender, such as referring to something belonging to a sister as his. The story is fairly interesting, but I doubt I'll ever want to listen to it again.

Jerky

Pauses in the middle of words, sentences start and stop. Frustrating to listen to. Also floating through past, present and future, a bit confusing and not working with what was going on. I have listened to several virtual voice narration and this was the worse.

Terrible narration

The story is not bad, I have read it a couple of times. The narration however is terrible. It isn’t even the flat voice, it is the odd pauses that occur.
