Unabridged Audiobook
This was interesting but several chapters were written by people other than Cody. It was distracting that readers changed with each chapter. The hungarian reader was appalling since he could not come close to pronouncing many words, particularly names of Indian tribes.
This book is a great subject and fine set of tales I’m fine with the narration as this is not a dramatization
Fun listen
Enjoyed this selcg FM
I didn't like having each chapter read by a different person. It just didn't work to have a woman reading the story of Buffalo Bill. And the chapter read by the person from Budapest, Hungary, was terrible! His accent was very thick and many words were mispronounced in such a way that I didn't know what he was saying. For instance, Sioux was "shoe", massacre was "mas-acker'" and any word with "th" was pronounced as though it began with a "d". (I finally gave up and skipped that chapter!)Another of the readers seemed to have emphysema or some other breathing problem which necessitated a long, loud inhale at the beginning of a sentence. Very distracting!
The book was great, but the narration ruined it for me. I would gladly pay full price for this book for one narrator. Multiple narrators and one with such a strong accent it just turned me off to the chapter.
