The story is always a good one, but sadly the narrator was brutal and there were gaps now and then. I love the story enough to keep listening.

Great story of course

The narrator has an extraordinary technique of narrating half the sentence, then pausing, then finishing the sentence. This he does for EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE. I still haven't decided if this is due to a poorly taught (or poorly understood) narration technique, or if he's not just not very good at, y'know...reading.
Either way avoid, there are much better unabridged options for this book.

Beware; badly narrated

I couldn’t finish listening to this book because the narration was so awful. Pauses in odd places, the tempo was off, very frustrating.

Why does the narrator sound like a robot?
