Very Disappointing Narration
Mr. Baldacci's story, as usual, had me hooked from page one.However, the reader of the audio version not only almost put me to sleep, she almost put herself to sleep!And it seemed to get worse as the reading went along.I respectfully hope Mr. Baldacci doesn't use this person again.

bad dialogue voice
Not a bod book, but the voice the speaker chose for the main character is very poor. She sounds week, vulnerable and incompetent- which is NOT who the character is.

Does anyone actually ENJOY the voice of Frances Cassidy?
This book (Baldacci's part) is fine - but OMG I cannot stand Frances Cassidy's narration style!!!She CAN vary her tonal quality, I've heard her do it.But for the most part she uses a PAINFULLY monotone voice.Arrrgh!It is SO hard to listen to - and for 14 cd's!I wish someone at Books On Tape would direct her differently.I really want to hear this book, but I feel like I outta be paid to put up with Cassidy.

Recently I heard a story about audiobooks on NPR.They gave an example of a book you should not listen to while driving because the voice would lull you to sleep.I'm pretty sure the reader was Frances Cassidy.

I'm sure she is a fine human being...yadda yadda.I just wish she would do her job differently. ... Read more
