Unabridged Audiobook
Poe at his best. Outstanding. Narration at its worst. Very bad.
Classic. Horrible narrator
I have adored E. A. Poe since I was a child. I'll never not love his work. Unfortunately the narrator is terrible. 1. He speeds through too quickly, there are subtleties to Poe's work, there are times you must pause for affect and to make greater impact. He sounds like my high school classmates speeding through readings and never verbally appreciating the work. Also taking breaths at the wrong times. 2. His voice sounds like he needs to rest his voice for an hour between readings. Too grating rough and strained. 3. His readings sound as though he didn't practice beforehand as he stumbles over words and stanzas.
Too boring
it was ok.
I love Poe, but I can not simply get over how aweful the reader does. Talk about lack of passion in his reading. Bland!
Someone who knows his poems and has the love for his work should have been asked to do this. Complete disappointment.
