Is it just me or is this narrator's voice the most monotonous and boring voice ever recorded? I'm falling asleep here.:bored: Anyone else think so? I think Jim Weiss may have spoiled me - he's a hard act to follow.

It's a shame, too, because the story itself, although not from my pov entirely, is very charmingly written. I guess I'll just wait for the book to come in at the library and take these cds back.

I've only listened to one so far. I don't find him too bad. I think he sounds like Jonathan Pryce. I've also heard his voice on a commercial recently. Maybe I have a thing for accents.

Maybe I'm just tired:).
