Reviewer: Bernard Dun - February 19, 2020 Subject: What were they thinking! In chapter 16, the narrator sounds like 3 pack a day smoker, and it just ruined that WHOLE chapter for me. The people that work this need to pick better people to read the book. |
Reviewer: Candace Barley - November 27, 2018 Subject: Bad reader The lady that read chapters 16, 17, and 22 was awful!!! Please do not let her ruin anymore books!!! |
Reviewer: Tamara - May 9, 2016 Subject: Poor Narration Chapter 16 should be read by anyone else. It was like nails on a chalkboard. |
Reviewer: Alana - November 20, 2015 Subject: Bad readers Chapter 16 - the woman reading this chapter is ridiculous. She should not read aloud to any one. It ruins the book. |
Reviewer: Julie - October 7, 2015 Subject: Review Dr Maroe Loved it. Some excellent readers, some not. Short book though. I would recommend this book. |
Reviewer: Emma - September 28, 2015 Probably a great book, but I gave up halfway through ch.3 as reader faded away at the end of sentences which was really frustrating. |
Reviewer: Dean - January 23, 2015 Subject: Some poor reading Great story. Unfortunately, Chapters 16, 17 & 22 are very muffled and garbled. This made it very difficult to follow. |
Reviewer: Sara - October 24, 2014 Subject: Good I love this! |
