Helpful Information-Horrific Narration
This audiobook contained a lot of helpful and vital information regarding topics such as permaculture, food allergies, sustainable living, and educational programs. However, it was so hard to get through because of the narration. I have sampled other audiobooks by this narrator and he has a lovely tone and does not appear to have the same issues as were evident in this recording. The cadence was that of a robot or a "speech to text" message. Mispronunciations from Mufasa to pronouncing edamame as enema were frustrating. I found myself correcting the narrator through most of the book and shouting "spit it out" as the long pauses and attempts to sound out words was maddening. He also spoke what I have to believe were instructions for the narration. He would say "repeat" and then would repeat a word. Not like "I repeat" but simply as if he was reading a cue. I urge the producer, author, and narrator to listen to this project. I honestly don't believe it was meant to be the final recording, especially given the narrator's other work.
