Title: Horrible reading
Product review: I made it through one disc then gave up. The best audiobook readers are unobtrusive--they don't get in the way of the text. The reader on this audiobook is one of the worst I've heard. His articulation is so annoyingly idiosyncratic--now fast, now slow, now this emphasized, now that, now a folksy, cracker-barrel intonation, now a pretentious psycho-babble "authoritative" voice--that I was continuously distracted from the text. He's almost as bad as the dreadful Nelson Runger, who ruined David Hackett Fischer's "Washington's Crossing" for me with his ridiculous "Sargeant Schultz"-style German accents for Hessian soldiers.
