why in the world does a narrator pronounce e this is supposed to be a poetry book about love and infatuation. the narrator is incredibly horrible at pronouncing. every single English word. it's almost as if it's an AI, but since it's so much older I doubt it. a robotic AI voice would probably be tremendously better. his tone of voice and pronunciation completely takes any romance or passion out of the text. on top of the fact the book itself constantly explains to you. what a poem is. there's no Way to ever really get "into" the book.

how absolutely horrible the narrator is.
