great stories, terrible reading

(0 Sterne)

Regular Librivox users probably know to beware of stories that have more than on reader, so I usually sample some of the tracks before downloading. I did this but my random trials missed the worst of these and when I tried to listen I was appalled at how bad must of the readings were. the torture is that it's hard to discard a good story even though the reading stinks.
