Listening to the narrator has damaged my sanity
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I don't mean to be unkind but the narrator was definitely not the right person for the job. Having someone else, anyone else, read it would have improved my rating.
Who was your favorite character and why?
My mind has blanked out all specific memory of the stories to protect me.
What didn’t you like about Cathy Dobson’s performance?
Her vocal rhythm is unendurable and monotonous. Every sentence sounds the same as the as the last and the next one; it starts off quietly and then reaches a crescendo and then quietens again. It's not her fault; she's obviously articulate. The fault lies with whoever gave her the job and whoever directed her. Her talents may be better deployed in the field of hypnosis?
