Hard of Hearing? This may be a difficult listen
- To anyone with just a slight hearing disability, this narration is mostly unintelligible. The narrator speaks too quickly, leading to many slurring of words. I would guess most of those who are purchasing or borrowing this audiobook are age 50 years or older.
