Critiques
So disappointing!
James van Scoyoc
I'd been hoping for this to become available for a long time, but the narration is almost unlistenable. The narrator mumbles and has an unpleasant voice, and possibly a thick foreign accent despite the very English sounding name. Sorry, Ashton, but that's how it is. I can say that because I myself share the same problems with mumbling and vocal quality. That's why I don't narrate audiobooks.
