- What didn’t you like about Jorjeana Marie’s performance?
- I seriously keep thinking I should just return the book, and I’m barely even 6 chapter in. The narration is the one of the worst I’ve ever listened to. It’s like the narrator has no idea what she’s reading and is putting in zero effort. The tone has no bearing on the context of the story she’s reading; if it’s not a drone flat voice void of any inflection, it’s an inappropriate type of inflection at exactly the wrong time that drains all the tension from the book.
It’s a pity because the story is interesting, and I remember the previous narrator doing a great job. It’s just such a chore to keep listening on and trying to ignore what a terrible job the narrator is doing.
I’ve never felt this strongly about an audiobook on audible to write a scathing review like this, but I absolutely hated this narration. Would have given it minus stars if I could. If I bought the kindle book and just had Alexa read it out loud to me I think she would do a better job.
