Summary

Illegitimate children, adulterous queens, impotent kings, and a whole dynasty resting on their shoulders. Sex and childbirth were quite literally a matter of life or death for the Tudors.

A great book ruined by a shouting, randomly inflecting, inept narrator. It is incredibly rare that we get a fresh take on a very saturated part of history so it’s especially disappointing to have it wrecked by poor choice of narrator. Even the subject matter and content couldn’t rescue it. Tried to return but wasn’t allowed.

genuinely horrific narrator

I'm sorry to say but I had to stop listening to this book. The narrator, I felt, was not too good. There were mispronounced words, slow pronunciation of words. This can't all be placed at the door of the narrator, some must be placed with the editor. I regret not being able to complete the book as the Tudor era is one of my favourite periods.

Tudors?

I found the book difficult to listen to, the narrator stumbled over the text, gave emphasis to random words and seemed to run one sentence into another. It was very disappointing as the book had lots of interesting information.

Frustrating Listen

Where does In Bed with the Tudors rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The book is interesting and enjoyable, but the reader frequently mispronounces words, confuses words and generally appears to have a poor understanding of what she is reading. This is a pity as it is a good book.

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Debra Burton?

Anyone capable of getting the words right.

let down by poor reading
