FELT LIKE BEING BACK AT SCHOOL!

Loved it? No, the narrator ruined the story!

The story itself was pretty good. I expected there to be bad blood between the older step-brother and the younger. But there was an unexpected twist to come!

The narrator, how would I rate his efforts in telling the story? Practice reading or find another job more suited to you! He took me back to school where the teacher would pick someone at random, someone whose public reading ability was needing work! Trevor Clinger, probably gave of his best in this performance but unfortunately, his best just wasn't good enough in this instance!! His reading ability took me right back to junior school where we were chosen at random to allow the teacher to assess our reading capabilities in different circumstances. Trevor unfortunately, read the manuscript as though he were ten year's old at the very most. Listen to him reading each paragraph to the end was how a slow death must feel, torturous and asking for it to be over soon. All that I can say is that I was lucky that the book was not one at ten or eleven hours! 😵😨😰😱 I will need to try and remember his name (I am disabled and take nigh on 40 pills a day and have morphine on top of that, which renders my memory very poor, it is so bad that I have an alarm clock set, which is my mobile/cell phone, to remind me to take my medication but I put this off and still forget to take my medication until my husband does a check of my pill case!) and avoid anything narrated by him. As I said, it was like listening to a wee boy reading to the class during the English lessons at school. I spoke to the teacher about this, asking if there was anything that could be done to help the two or three we had in the class to become better at reading in public. When I was nine years old, my father put me on the Readers List at Church to read the lessons twice a month, and as cover if the reader didn't turn up! To some this may sound very severe in the strict sense but it was amazing how it helped me to improve my skills in this area. Maybe, assuming Trevor attends Church. Get himself on the Readers List, just be careful though as it is normally to be found next to the Flower List and doing the flowers for the Church won't be of any assistance.
