Great story, awful reader/taping
David Adams Richards tells his story of growing up in New Brunswick and fishing the great Miramichi River. The stories are wonderful as they move from when he is quite small to a grown man. As much as I enjoy the stories, the technical taping presented here has periodic flaws where sentences are repeated. A more frequent and distracting flaw is the change in tone of the reader's voice. He will be reading a sentence, finish it, then the next sentence will start off like it is a different person reading, the tone can change so much.This would probably be attributed to breaks while taping but no effort was made to smooth the tonal quality over.
The hardest part about listening to this taping is the reader sounds like an automated voice. Again, the tonal expressions used while reading don't fit the words read and it throws off how a person hears the story. It is very awkward.
I love flyfishing. This book is very good and should make anyone who reads it want to run out to New Brunswick with their rods and find the bliss this author seems to have found. But I will go find a printed version and just read it for myself.
