I am just getting back into reading/audiobooking and this book was an amazing one to start with. The author does such a good job of describing people and places, you can see it all happening in your head, and it's beautiful. The voices of the narrator were a little rough and distracting at the start, but I feel it didn't take away from the book, and you do end up getting used to it.

I must ask, why complain when you paid to ālistenā to someone āreadā a story to you? I find it appalling people with such short attention spans take the time to complain, much the less write a bad review about the personās voice who narrates the book! Next time, consider buying the book, and enjoy the God given sense of āimaginationā and hearing those voices yourself. The idea is to enjoy the story; allow the story to take shape as writers intend. To thrust you into another place in time for sheer enjoyment. God forbid you werenāt just blown away by their prose. Writing is very hard work. Authors slave over every word, each fine detail. I imagine how disappointing it must be to read petty complaints because people donāt like the voice chosen for an āaudio versionā. Good grief! How spoiled are we as a society? Pretty pathetic, really. Hereās a thought, pick up a book with actual pages and read them aloud yourself. Record it. How does it sound? Pretty awful? Maybe great! Then maybe sell your excellent oral skills! If you you chose the former, Try this. Open your laptop to Word,and begin hammering away on a blank document telling your own story for say, eight months to a few years or so. Then maybe you can appreciate writing, all that it entails; The fact checking, formatting into an industry standard manuscript likely never even to be read. God forbid you have to rewrite a scene or two to adjust to your editors liking. (Did I mention trying to find someone who will publish you?) You could just self-publish, spend every dime to your name in hopes of making a best seller list somewhere or getting the least bit of acknowledgment from on a blog or popular publication. Yes, indeed please try and you will see how it feels when someone shuts you down because they donāt like the spine of the book or perhaps the way the pages feel between their fingers... Itās there and only then that you realize a writerās dedication is solely to the YOU, the reader... And sadly, somehow it just doesnāt work in your favor when the tables turn. For goodness sake your reader wasnāt utterly moved by your work so they open their browser on a device and write a scathing review that has absolutely NOTHING to do with your hard work. Maybe itās the fact there are so many books, or maybe the reader is h-angry, or lonesome ...and they happen to enjoy stamping out any good left in the world. I have a Mother in Law like this. It would physically pain her to gift me a complement. After all it is her world, we all just happen to live in it. # The End.
