Disconnecting narration (thus spake Zarathustra)

This is just for Thus spake Zarathustra.

The narration could have been better.

There were a lot of different characters to portray, which must have made it difficult and he did a good job of creating different voices for each one.

However, I found the voices of the different characters to be quite jarring, at times. Each of the different accents of the characters was not very consistent. One of the characters had a sort of Birmingham accent that, at times, moved into slightly different English accents as he spoke. His Canadian (I think) accent also slips through quite a lot (whilst doing English accents).
Additionally, I found them to be a little childlike, as if on a children's TV show.
I also found there to be disfluency in how he spoke, a little like Captain Kirk from the original Star Trek (across all voices).

These difficulties caused me to be constantly too aware that I was listening to someone in a studio, thus always taking me away from the storyline. I would recommend the book/audiobook, but not this reading of it. I'm actually a little upset that I paid hard earned money for this.
