Reviews

Disappointed!


(0.5 stars)

Have really enjoyed the other books in the "What Katie Did" series and wanted to know what happens next but this audio book is inaudable. I usually have no problem with understanding accents but this Indian-ish accent is so strong and intense very few words are distinguishable. I tried to presever and really tried to concentrate on what she was saying but even this still wasn't possible to understand what was being said in one sentence let alone an entire book. Sometime on librovox there is a different reader for each chapter so if you get a bad reader it doesn't last too long or you can choose to just read that individual chapter to yourself but this Indian lady reads the entire book (if you can call it reading) leaving no choice but to read it myself. I'm just glad it's an option for me unlike the many blind librovox users.

This is not an Indian accent it is GERMAN. In the select tab (upper right corner of your screen) you may adjust the read-back speed where you may slow the reader down to where you may more easily understand her spoken English. Enjoy!!

Disappointing

The narration of the book is very poor as the lady is very difficult to understand and reads quickly, the characters all sound the same so it's blends into one so hard to follow I had to stop listening.

good book

To future readers, there is a Clover, version 2 to listen to... look it up. The first chapter is an ESL (English Second Language) reader. The story could not be followed because I couldn't understand it. I usually can understand any ESL person. Not this one.
