Title: Dreadful Narration
Product review: Collecting audio books is something of a hobby with me. In fact they even outnumber printed books on my bookshelf. As with any audio book, the choice of narrator can "Make or Break" the listening experience. Some narrators are particularly well-suited to certain authors. For example, Hardy is best narrated by the likes of Tony Britton and John Rowe, the Brontes by Michael Kitchen, Dickens by Martin Jarvis, etc. Oscar Wilde is best narrated by actors with posh accents like Edward Petherbridge and Simon Callow. On this rendition of "The Professor", Frederick Davidson makes Simon Callow sound positively working class! His accent is over-the-top and even sounds like a parody of London Society. I didn't get passed Cassette #2 the narrating was so bad, so I still don't know how the story ends.
