awful awful awful

an American with an American accent attempting wilde. what a joke. not worth listening to. avoid at all costs if you appreciate quality narration (even within the limitations of his language he's a p*ss poor narrator). audible should warn people of the nationality of the narrator- it matters in an audio only environment.
