Title: Book is great...audio-version is a disaster!
Review: I'm very sorry.The past year has seen a shift in my reading habits from paper-versions of books to the audio-versions. Audio I find preferable as you can read it in bed AND in the dark, without your hands aching from a heavy book.One of my favorite books, one that I already read in dutch (my native language) when I was 11, in english when I was 22 and even seen the television-series in the mean time, was Shogun. I wanted to read this again...in this new format.How disappointed I was.The voice of the reader is boring to the extreme. Monotone, terrible accents, chaotic inflections. I again apologize, but I can't say anything positive about this adaptation of the book.I admit NOT to have been able to finish ALL of the HOURS and HOURS of tapes...I probably never will. I managed the first 10 hours so far.Maybe I'll find the time to record/dictate copy of the book some day...that will probably be my only chance of 'hearing' it completely.
Is the review positive or negative?
