Title: Quibbles with the narration
Review: I've listened to George Guidall before, and especially enjoyed his wonderful reading of JOHNNY TREMAIN (coincidentally another Boston book, albeit 230 years before DARK HARBOR). But the lack of research in preparing the recorded version was glaring.The places and some of the names are real. It grated on my ear to hear Whitey Bulger's name consistently mispronounced as BUHL-gher (like the grain) rather than BUHL-jer. The Anguillo crime family, or what's left of them after Whitey Bulger helped the FBI put most of them out of business, is pronounced An-JEW-low, not An-GWEE-low. And Suffolk, as in the law school and the county, is SUH-fick, not SUH-foke.Please, producers at Recorded Books, do a little checking before making these recordings!
