Title: Love Lucy Maud, Hate the Painfully Inept Narrator
Review: I was so disappointed with this book! I was driving from North Carolina to Austin TX, and Anne of Green Gables narrated by Barbara Caruso was great (even though she pronounced Avonlea as Aay-von-lee instead of Ah-von-lee). This one was terrible!! The woman speaking has random inflection, putting the wrong emph-A-sis on the wrong syll-A-ble, if you will. It completely sounds as if she's reading words that she doesn't understand the meaning of. And the voices she uses for characters! My sister and I literally tried to talk each other into listening at least to the first chapter, to see if we could adjust, but we had to turn it off. It was unbearably painful to listen to. Who hired that lady?? Her voice itself is nice enough, but good lord was her inflection awful! We chose to listen to fuzzy radio stations through the last three states rather than subject ourselves to this version of the book. Spare yourself!
