Passions/Politics of 3 Generations of Chilean Fam. This is my favorite book and I am just heart broken that it has been done such a disservice. Please redo this great book with an actual narrator and do it the great justice it deserves. I expected the ending to have more of a flow to bring you back to the beginning like it should instead, it just died. I understand that I probably could not have done a better job. Plus her only spanish pronounciation of the names with her bland presentation is so absurd. This is a beautiful story full of emotion and they chose a narrator that is castrated to read it. I thought I could tolerate it and let the book stand on its own it cannot. That is not the purpose of this audible book. Her pronounciation is great ‘A’ for effort. However her reading this book as if she is reading to someone who is learning English as a second language and without any emotion is so heart wrenching. I have waited for this book on audible FOR EVER!!!! Then to have this person just destroy the story with this presentation is so sad. This is my favorite book female narrator sucked I just don't have the time in my life anymore to pick up a paper book and read it, so if I want to follow and finish the story, it's going to be through Audible, but, really, these narrators are uninspired. In my head, I repeat sentences in the voice of Elizabeth Pena: How would she have delivered this line, this sentiment, this description? I'm only a couple of hours into a 19-hour book and hope to finish it. No emotional difference between what lovers say, what one says to the dead, or a grocery list.
No way of knowing which character is speaking, or when dialogue becomes prose. The narrators have turned this into a dirge, a really boring dirge. It's uninspired and how anyone anywhere could take anything written by Isabel Allende and turn it into a monotonous chore is beyond me. Others warned us all that the narration was difficult to listen to. I know now how important it is to read reviews. Then I started The House of the Spirits and. Ms Pena gave such depth, vivacity, and life to Ms Allende's beautiful, descriptive, and poetic writing through her emotional intelligence and willingness to give the narration her all. I listened to Elizabeth Pena's gorgeous, luscious reading of the Stories of Eva Luna before moving on to The House of the Spirits.
