Too many readers

while I love this work of Mrs. Stratton- Porter I feel the reading of it could have been much better. there are 3 distinct people doing the reading. One of which sounded at times like she was reading into a tin can. Hope to find another version to enjoy.
Excellent book and excellently read!
