Katie’s answer to “I really tried, but istening to this book is impossible. I want to appreciate the voices, the story…” > Likes and Comments

My boss finally brought his copy of the book in today for me to look at, and I now see part of why it was so difficult to listen to. The name of the character speaking comes after his or her statement. This was easy to figure out when looking at the printed page. But in the audio version, with a narrator's voice stating the name, and then a new character chiming in, at first it seemed as though the narrator was identifying the new character, rather than stating the name of the person who had just spoken. This made it confusing at first to figure out who was speaking, even though all the characters had different voices.

It took me about an hour to figure this out listening on audio lol

I listened on audio as well and wanted to see a printed copy. So funny! The character names afterward were a bit aggravating, but I still loved hearing the speakers read it.

I thought the narrator was saying Opposite!!!

I thought the reader was "upset"
