Customer Reviews
Don’t buy it for the audio book
I bought this primarily for the audio book feature. Don’t make the same mistake. I expected professional English language narration. Not here. The narrator has a very unusual accent, his speech is painfully slurred and his reading oddly paced. It might be atmospheric if the accent was Russian, but it’s not. I can’t place it. Anyway, it is very distracting. Thanks for your efforts, foreign narrator guy, but this is not for me. Buy this book to read, certainly, but not for the audio. I feel mildly ripped off.
