WIALT - The One - The Selection #3

I really enjoyed the fluffiness of the first two books and have been waiting for The One to become available at my library. Well, the audiobook was free, so I checked that out, and man, I cannot stand the narrator! I had this image of America in my head, and the narrator is so breathy and just plain obnoxious. I'm doing all I can to keep listening, but this is pretty much ruining it for me.

  • I listened to the first 2, loved them but I agree the narrator was just awful.  I read the 3rd book because I couldn't wait for it to be available for me to borrow.  I enjoyed reading this one more than listening to the others. So I understand where you are coming from, I really loved how the 3rd book ended, keep going!

  • Oh no, there is nothing worse than a narrator who doesn't fill your thoughts about how it should be.  I have had a few that I have had to put down due to it and wait longer for the book to be available.  Good luck putting the narrator aside and enjoy the rest of the series.

    I could not agree more. I read the first 2 but am listening to the 3rd and it's kinda killing me. I was thinking last night that I was going to request a refund/credit from Audible and was disappointed to see that I was listening on Overdrive instead.

  • I listened to all of them and didn't mind the narrator but I've had the same issue before where I've read books than listened to one later in the series and hated it.

    Ha, this is perfect!  So, I finished this yesterday, and the narrator definitely ruined it for me. Whomp, whomp!
