Story - good. Narration - oh, dear!
I enjoyed Ben-Hur when I read it years ago. The story's good, allowing for what is now an old-fashioned writing style. Unfortunately it's badly let down by the narrator. I can accept the American accent - after all, the author was American. I can't accept the delivery. The phrasing is off on a number of occasions, and there's no attempt to do different voices for men and women, or even for different men. For the first time, I was unable to get to the end of an Audible book and returned it.

Spoiled by choppy editing
Would you recommend Ben-Hur to your friends? Why or why not?
This recording was very frustrating as every edit chops off part of a word and pulls you out of the story.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The reader also mispronounces quite a few words. Sestercii is wrongly pronounced Sess-ter-see-eye instead of Sess-ter-see! I want my money back!
Any additional comments?
A recording this shoddy should be highly discounted!
