Please, audiobook publishing powers that be, please get this one recorded by a competent narrator.Īt the conclusion of this narration, a spokesman from Phoenix Book's goes on a distasteful and insulting tirade about what they do to copyright violators. I get that you might not know how to pronounce "indefatigable" or "mainsail" but come on man, just say flo-till-uh. It's like he's trying to be clever and pronounce it in the Spanish style, but he doesn't understand Spanish pronunciation and just says "flota". If the performance weren't bad enough, this guy didn't even bother to look up how to pronounce nautical terms. At the beginning of the book, his performance is crawling, and then, as if he started a new session, in the middle of a section he all the sudden sounds like he has a pulse. I feel like you can tell how tired the narrator was while recording certain sections. It's nearly impossible to tell it's being sped up on this one. I nearly quit listening before I sped it up by 20%. The narrator is painfully slow and has strange pacing and intonation. Despite the narration, I think it's still worth your time.
