ROBOTIC
The most horrendously narrated book I've ever heard. Read by a robot. I Lasted 10 minutes. It may well be the greatest ever piece of literature ever written on Rome but I would advise you to actually read it as opposed to listen to this.

I agree with the description "Robotic"!
I can't see how the majority of listeners have scored this audio book as 5 stars, I agree with one's opinion "Robotic". Maybe Mike Duncan has spoiled me with his easy to listen to podcast on the History of Rome and audio book on the decline of the Roman Republic but this audio book is terribly written. I'm not claiming to be able to do a better job but at least I can pronounce "Con-stan-ti-no-pel" (phonetics not spelling! 😁)

So bad I can't listen! Waste of money!
I only listened to Introduction and Chapter 1 and gave up because it was so awful! The narrator sounds like automated reading offered by Google- just saying random words together. He doesn't seem to understand what he's reading. Also just in the Introduction he mispronounced Constantinople twice!!! A complete waste of money!

Really ????
Why has the Author chosen a narrator that cannot read or pronounce the most basic of words. Absolutely ridiculous impossible to listen to.
Rubbish

Don't believe the narrator is a real person.
Had to turn it off after 10 minutes due to the speech patterns of the narrator. Sounds like an android from a 3rd rate 1980s sci-fi film. Disappointed that I Wasted a credit on this audiobook but would have been enraged if I'd bought it.

Impossible to listen to
Narrator cannot pronounce any of the names of people or places, stutters over sentences, no flow whatsoever. Had to stop listening after 10 minutes. Really bad stuff
