Dreadful readers


(1 stars)

I will never understand why such "volunteers" give their time as narrators. They have no talent for narration. In addition, the errors in pronunciation were ludicrous, and so frequent. I skipped most of the earlier chapters, and suffered through a few of the latter. Have pity on us and do not volunteer for Librivox.
