Interesting book, terrible narration

The authors writing is personal, rich in detail, entertaining and at times illuminating. It is however ruined by terrible narration: incorrect pronunciation, no pause for punctuation and I’d hazard a guess at poor editing of the voice over such that is speeds up in places it shouldn’t. The book would be served well with a fresh narration

Terrible narration .

It was very irritating to hear the monotonous voice of the narrator. He not only made several mistakes with pronunciation but also has no expression. Very disappointing experience.
