Title: Great Writing, Excellent Narrators - Jolting edits
Review: First let me clarify that I loved the writing and the assorted narrators. I discounted a star on this audio version for the poor editing. I can only assume that the word Hegemon was mispronounced throughout the book and the "patch" used to insert the correct pronunciation is a bit jolting. It does not sound as though it was recorded with the same equipment and I'm not sure if it's even the same narrator. For those of us who like to be totally immersed in the story - it will jolt you back to reality. The first couple of times I found it amusing but after that it became annoying. I think I would rather have had the mispronounced word rather than the jolting edits. I ended up listening to this audiobook while driving - I wasn't as immersed in the story and not as annoyed by the poor edits. From now on I will check the reviews of product from this company and will read the book myself rather than pay for a poorly edited audiobook.
Is the review positive or negative?
