Story is good but the voice is horrible

I love this book and bought for my son to listen to on a road trip but the voice of the reader was so hard to listen to. I now know how important it is to listen to who is readying before you buy.

Avoid the narrator

OMG what horrible voices. Benny sounds like a troll. Violet sounds like she is supposed to be suffering from depression

Horrible Reading, horrible voices

Such a great story, ruined by a bad read. The attempt at voices is plain horrible.

Well done

Enjoyed the narrations. Well done.
would enjoy the books more if there was a Christian world view incorporated but it's a nice little series on the whole
