brilliant work, terrible reading
Numerous reading and editing errors throughout make a poor performance of an iconic work. This ranges from seemingly obvious ones like "William Jones" or "casual" instead of "causal" to other elements of unprofessional production like the reader having second takes at reading certain lines that were not edited out.
If no better performances come out, it was still nice to have an audiobook version for convenient revision. But I recommend checking that there aren't better performances somewhere.
The material itself is of course outstanding.
