Reviewer: Anon - February 4, 2019 Everyone keeps mentioning the first lady, but Sean in chapter 8-9 reading is horrendous. It sounds like he's speaking through a mouth full of spit he refuses to discharge. I was thuroughly disgusted |
|
Reviewer: User - November 26, 2018 really good book but the woman from chapter 1-7-11 needs to be replaced and read by someone else I would just by the book and read it. |
|
Reviewer: Nidhin - May 17, 2018 Subject: Her reading sucks ! Lady you put people to sleep. Unfortunately this was my first audio book and you made totally uninterested. The way she reads is as if she is reading for a namesake to earn some money. I dont understand how people would even give 2 stars and some douchebags have even given 5 star rating ! |

Reviewer: Timothy - January 2, 2018 Subject: Horrible I have heard a lot of audio books and some readers are really good but the woman reading chapter 1 is awful. And it's painful to listen to I couldn't hear all of it. Now with the woman in chapter 18 she has potential believe it or not. She has a good voice but it sounds like she needs to re catch her breath every time she finishes a sentence. In conclusion I would not recommend this book. |

Reviewer: Peter R - July 20, 2017 Subject: If you are worried about the readers, don't be If you are hesitant on listening to this book because of the readers, don't be. True, some of the readers are better than others, but honestly, there was only one chapter that was incomprehensible. Don't pass this classic up..... |

Reviewer: Butch - November 17, 2015 Subject: Great book. Spotty reading A great piece of work ... But. Many different readers creates a distracting listening experience. And I agree with many here, the woman who reads is not very engaging. She has a very affected way of speaking/ reading that is almost |

Reviewer: Julie - August 12, 2015 Subject: Review What a wonderful book. So different then the movies. Very very scientifically informative. If you can get past the first two chapters with its horrible narration you will enjoy the book. I didn't want it to end. |
|
Reviewer: Jeffrey PK - July 31, 2015 Subject: Not Great It sounds like one reader has theatrical training and she does not know how to just read a good story. Lilting your voice down and up wow. Great book though |
|
Reviewer: Ashleigh - April 2, 2015 Subject: That woman! Oh lord. I have tried to get into this book so many times, but that woman's voice is HORRENDOUS. It is honestly unlistenable. If you skip through her first track you come across multiple other readers who are bareable, but don't get comfortable - because she comes back. From what I have been able to listen to this book is amazing but the audio does it such a disservice. |

Reviewer: Indi - March 17, 2015 Subject: 20,000 leagues under the seas Good grief. I love this story, but some of the readers leave much to be desired. One in particular should learn how to pronounce common words. One reader was excellent, but there wasn't enough of him. I wish he'd read the entire volume. |
|
Reviewer: Aiya - January 8, 2015 Subject: Bad Omg, her tones are all incorrect. I can't listen to her at all. She put me to sleep. |
|
Reviewer: bob - November 7, 2014 Subject: 20,000 thousand keagues under the sea It was nice but it was a different translation then the book I have, also I did not like how the voices are Constantly changing. Always its grate. |
|
Reviewer: Tiago - October 25, 2014 Subject: Terrible Terrible way to read a book. No notion of punctuation... I'm glad this is not my first time, otherwise I would never be a fan! |
|
Reviewer: Adam - August 5, 2014 Subject: Cool Fun! I haven't read this for years, got to listen to it with a nice coffee each night :-) |
|
Reviewer: Von Rite - July 24, 2014 Subject: Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas Terrible for the ears. |
|
Reviewer: Amy - May 23, 2014 Subject: Cant Listen anymore! This is my second time listening to an audio book, and I am thrilled to have audio books available. However, I had to stop listening to this one. Between the bad English accents, muffled speeches, and the monotone dragging voice of the women, I cannot follow nor concentrate on this at all. |
|
Reviewer: Nirmal - April 3, 2014 Very enjoyable, though I can't say I like the character of Nemo very much. |
|
Reviewer: Summer - November 2, 2013 Subject: Amazing That book was great I loved the readers and the book. |
|
Reviewer: User - October 7, 2013 Subject: Narrator The reader on chapter 18 sounds like she has a stopped up nose! It's kind of funny but I advise you to listen to that chapter. That poor girl.:( |
|
Reviewer: User - October 4, 2013 The Female speaker is terrible , Microsoft SAM has more emotion. |
|
Reviewer: User - September 24, 2013 Subject: Narrator I wish you could get a better narrator. This book is read in a seriously monotone voice. |
|
Reviewer: Emma - September 22, 2013 The first speaker is awful! |
|
Reviewer: Summer - August 12, 2013 Subject: Chapter 1 I had to skip chapter 1. Nobody talks like that. It was droning and sadly spoken. I found it painful to listen to. Please redo chapter 1. |
|
Reviewer: Bethany - July 12, 2013 Good but the first chapters voice is why I never got through it in high school. It’s an exciting book lady. Give it some life! |
|
Reviewer: Jamie - July 6, 2013 Subject: Review Not sure why everyone is attacking the first reader. I enjoyed the book overall. |
|
Reviewer: Nichole - June 27, 2013 Subject: First chapter reader Could not stand the voice and manner of speaking of the first reader. I almost did not continue listening to this book. Luckily I found out that the following chapter was not read by the same person. |
|
Reviewer: Jon - April 23, 2013 Subject: Chapter 1 Please re-do Chapter 1, That woman's voice is far drawn out and spoken too slow. Almost intolerable. |
|
Reviewer: Ben - March 7, 2013 Oh god this first chapter is painful. |
|
Reviewer: Tyler - March 7, 2013 Subject: Narration Heads up with the chapter one, the woman's voice is too distractingly annoying to focus on the content. Chip is great, Shawn is okay (slightly monotone though). |
|
Reviewer: Sam - March 4, 2013 Subject: Narrator Yeah. The first narrator is a bit sleepy and cheesy. |
|
Reviewer: Dio - December 3, 2012 Subject: Narrator change Although the book itself is an amazing work of literature art, the first chapter is read by a rather tedious voice. The chapters after that, however, are narrated by Chip who is very lively. |
|
Reviewer: User - October 27, 2012 Subject: 20 thousand leagues Very good. |
