it is a great story...
it is a fantastic story truth be told. I think it's my own accent and historical British vinacular that probably is my own fault, but the narrator's voice, I just couldn't get used to. It was a struggle, the writing was brilliant, I just couldn't get used to the narrator.
After I finished the audio book, I watched an interview with the author. I wish he had of read his own book. It's a voice that I found much more pleasant to my ears. No complaint to the narrator, it's just my ears!
