Worst narrator ever!

I love this book and already have it in the printed version. For convenience i wanted to get the audio version, and i made the mistake of not listening to the sample beforehand.

First i thought that i had changed the speed of narration by mistake. I didn't. Then i thought that for some reason the opening credits were read by an automated voice. They weren't.
This narrator just has the flattest and most robotic voice of the universe. I deleted the audiobook and will take the time to read the print version again. (Which is a great book!)

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
