Yes, she's an excellent writer but a terrible voice actor. I don't mind her whisper-like quality, which I imagine many would. My main issue is that she doesn't use the same voice for the same characters. She's all over the place. She should have either consulted an acting coach or have a more seasoned pro narrate.
Julie Kelley
Yes! I almost quit listening!
Amy Pick
I quit this at 1/2 point. Whole thing was awful, vanity project. I did not like the writing, her writing about sex and desire was not compelling, and her narration was awful.
Naomi
Yes. I first read the hardcover edition, which I loved. Then I thought I'd try out the audiobook to see if I'd enjoy that as well. The narration style did not work for me. Hard to explain why, but it most certainly was different than the voice I was imagining. I was afraid it would ruin the magic of my first read, so I didn't get very far with the audiobook.
