poor pronunciation

I could not finish because of the way the narrator pronounces asian names. I had to consult wikipedia to understand what exactly he was pronouncing, and ended up glancing the spoilers.

The element of revelatory imagery is iconic of Clarke and having lost the element of pleasant surprise that his stories brings, I found myself unable to continue listening, in great part due to the continually poor pronunciation of Asian words.
