Irritating Heavy Voice
Could not continue listening to it, as the reader's voice was too heavy... The tone was not relaxing.

Extremely irritating voice
The narrator has irritating repeated inflections and tones. I gave up listening as I had to work too hard to understand her

beautiful stories terribly narrated
I got to chapter 15 and am not willing to go any further. The narrators reading reminds of Eliza Doolittle's attempt at sounding posh at races - over the top and unnatural. These stories are full passion and action unlike the voice which doesn't change with characters and more importantly emotions. I can't believe the Audiobook published it.
