I can't understand the narrators accent. It's too thick .

I don’t really know how the book was, the narration was so terrible I couldn’t listen to it.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2020

Dreadful narrator.

I just could not labour past Chapter One. The choice of narrator was totally at odds with the subject matter. I have, sadly, deleted this book from my library. If it is ever re-recorded using a more authoratative. voice, I would gladly purchase it.

Historically significant. Captivated by his honesty and articulation. Moving.

I did not have a problem with the narrator. Moving story.

The recording quality is quite poor, making it very difficult to listen to. The content was not interesting enough to want to sit through.

The story was very interesting,but the narrator was all wrong for this book.

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2020

Sadly, I had a hard time understanding the narration. The narration sounded like it had reverb in the room and the sound wasn't dampened. Further, the narrator's accent was so strong, I missed most of the story.

Strange but readable and informative

Didn't get very far with the book. I could understand the narrator but it was not pleasant to listen to

Sorry, I can't understand what the narrator is even saying.

OK good

Profile Avatar Miss Cazzy Bee Feb 2023

I struggled to get into this book. The narrator’s voice was so monotonous that it could send me to sleep. There was zero emotion or change of tone in the reader’s voice. The book wasn’t enough to get me interested so coupled with the narration meant I couldn’t finish it.

Very interesting story.

Profile Avatar Roberta W. Sep 2022

Found the book rather interesting, but agree with reviews I've read that the narration was difficult to understand. I was at times confused by a woman's voice reading a man's conversation. It was an interesting listen as I took my daily walks. I don't think we have the right to criticize the narration, because it is a dialect not commonly used in the listeners' country.

I chose this book for its rating, but I couldn't finish it because it was so boring. The narrator was terrible.

Profile Avatar Suzanne M. Mar 2022

Awful. Couldnt understand most

Profile Avatar Gilvana Anjos Sep 2020

A história parece interessante, mas eu tive muita dificuldade com a narradora, meu inglês não é tão bom e o inglês da narradora era deveras estranho. Notei que mesmo quem fala inglês teve dificuldade.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2020

A very honest account of a difficult time in his life. Worth a listen

Was interested throughout the entirety.
