Awful Voice of Reader!!!
Any additional comments?
What a disappointment! The first story on both the American and British collections is read by a woman whose melodramatic, annoyingly-lilting reading style is quite unbearable. I simply cannot understand why they would have chosen her to read at all. I think I am going to have to ask for my credits back.

terrible voice
I loved all the stories in this collection, but the narrator's voice was dreadful: forced, unnatural and devoid of any emotion. I had to force myself to listen to the stories and now avoid this narrator's readings. Unfortunately, she seems to have a monopoly on some really great collections.

Awful narrator.
First rate stories. Horrible narration. One of the most irritating, monotone voices I have ever heard.
