Title: Audio Version is Unbearable
Review: I can't actually review the book itself because I couldn't listen to the whole thing. The reason I stopped was the excruciatingly inept reading of George Wilson. I managed to get through the first CD but when I looked at how many more I would have to endure, I just couldn't do it. I packed it away and tried to forget about how much money I'd spent on something so awful.George Wilson reads with all the enthusiasm of a coma patient on Quaaludes. Add to that his incongruous accents, and it's simply more than one should have to face. I've listened to hundreds of books and I know I've never heard his voice before. It's so shockingly bad that his name will forever be the scarlet letter to mark audiobooks to pass by. I'm still stunned that a major publishing company would allow this to be released. It would be the equivalent of releasing the printed version with no punctuation. You might be able to slog through it, but would it really be worth the effort?
