This recording was done by a team of readers with each chapter taken on by a different person and in a different style. At least two of the readers were very good and they sounded more like they were reciting their own story rather than reading a script. Most, however, gave uncomfortable performances with mispronounced words, pauses where they didn't belong, and vocal inflections that did not match with the scenes being read.
So not his best work !!!
