Poor Version
It is read like a newscast. No vocal variation for characters. It is poorly edited with some brief segments repeated. It does not do justice to the beautiful language of the book
Terrible narration
The book itself is fantastic but the narration is next to impossible to follow I couldn't even finish the first chapter. It is a great book but find a different narrator
