Title: Audio Book Disappointment
Product review: I give the original book a 5 star rating, this audio book however was a major disappointment. On average I listen to 10-15 hours worth of audio books per week and was really excited to see one of my favorite books finally available in audio format. What a major let down it turned out to be. A good audio book is performed, Carol Edie Smith mostly just reads this book. While she has very good diction (used to stage performances perhaps?) her reading of this book is almost a distraction - odd pauses and stressess on the weak portions of the text at the expense of the really significant moments really detract from Mercedes Lackey's prose. Ms. Smith is only capable of either speaking in her own voice or her voice with a Irish accent. At times it was difficult to know which character was speaking due to her inability to differentiate voices. Don't buy this , read the book instead.....
