Ratings and reviews

I read the paper version , excellent. THIS version by this particular audio reader soon wears on my nerves. His incessant excessive jovial story telling voice begins to wear in short order. His folksy drunk-happiness is too much. This guy O.D.d on happy stupid pills before recording his story tell. Trying too hard is what this guy is guilty of. SAVE YOUR TEN BUCKS or try another reader.
