What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

This could've been such a nicer audio book without the loud music in the background which in multiple occasions is louder than the narrator.
Have my $1.81, I'll just go buy the real book.

What didn’t you like about D. Candis Paule’s performance?

She starts really well, then gets way too excited.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment.

Any additional comments?

Unfortunately I was using a mobile device to buy this so the audio sample didn't work.I learned my lesson, I usually avoid background music, too bad there is no written warning that this contains loud background music.

Awful background music
