I felt the narrator's performance was a rapid, monotonous delivery that lacks natural pauses and emphasis, making it feel like an unbroken, breathless ramble. Without attention to pacing or grammatical structure, the narration flattens the prose, diminishing the impact of the author's writing and making it difficult to engage with the material. For this, I only rated the narration not the book.
