It was excruciating to have a book that was clearly written in Spanish narrated by someone who has no idea of the language.
Only getting through the introduction, on her monotone flat and characterless tone was a workout of dullness.

Surely not hers, but even the translation is appalling.

So much meaning poorly conveyed for using literal translation and not intended meaning.
Just has made me more resolved of reading this in the language it was written because listening to this was truthfully and regrettably painful.

Sounds Like it as narrated by Chat GPT
