Klantrecensies
Shakespeare with American accent...
Great I thought, I can listen and fall asleep while listening to beautiful poetry by the best English poets. No better way to experience it than by listening to the flowing and rhythm of the words, that is what poetry is for! But arhhgg: my favorite poets speak with a thick American tongue! It hurts my ears. I don't think I will listen to this ever in my life. I'm sorry I bought this. For those of you that are American: take no offence please, Shakespeare just sounds better in the Queen's English.
