Customer Reviews
Poor audio quality
I only listened to about 90 minutes of this important 38-hour book. So far I’ve heard two narrators who seem to be trying their best, but oddly begin each chapter with a full introduction of the book title. What happened? Also, as is usually the case with Russian literature, I get confused about who the characters are. The “s” and “f” in the speech of the book sometimes become indistinguishable, which suggests that this was recorded on a lower-fidelity format.
Personally I think all of the classics should be this inexpensive (or how about free?) and I’ll be trying my luck at the library instead.
