I can't understand the narrators accent. It's too thick .

I don’t really know how the book was, the narration was so terrible I couldn’t listen to it.

Dreadful narrator.

Historically significant. Captivated by his honesty and articulation. Moving.

I just could not labour past Chapter One. The choice of narrator was totally at odds with the subject matter. I have, sadly, deleted this book from my library. If it is ever re-recorded using a more authoratative. voice, I would gladly purchase it.

I did not have a problem with the narrator. Moving story.

The recording quality is quite poor, making it very difficult to listen to. The content was not interesting enough to want to sit through.

The story was very interesting,but the narrator was all wrong for this book.

Sadly, I had a hard time understanding the narration. The narration sounded like it had reverb in the room and the sound wasn't dampened. Further, the narrator's accent was so strong, I missed most of the story.

I listened, so far, to ten minutes of the recording, but plan to continue listening to it, to the end. More than anything, this book, written by the victim himself, is a historically significant account of the atrocities committed in, and the incredibly inhumane beliefs, of "lunatic asylums" which prevailed for centuries only until very recently, indeed if such practices have truly been outlawed/condemned in developed nations. As for the narrator, I had no problem at all understanding every word that was spoken. I want to emphasize here that this is a Voxilibre recording. These recordings tend to be very old, lacking any of the sophisticated recording technology of today. This explains the poor quality of the recordings. In addition, all the narrators of Voxilibre recordings are volunteers. They are not professional narrators. They are volunteers who have graciously and generously offered up their own valuable time to narrate these books that are now in the "public domain."

Strange but readable and informative

I could not understand the narrator's voice

Didn't get very far with the book. I could understand the narrator but it was not pleasant to listen to

Sorry, I can't understand what the narrator is even saying.

OK good

I struggled to get into this book. The narrator’s voice was so monotonous that it could send me to sleep. There was zero emotion or change of tone in the reader’s voice. The book wasn’t enough to get me interested so coupled with the narration meant I couldn’t finish it.

Very interesting story.

Found the book rather interesting, but agree with reviews I've read that the narration was difficult to understand. I was at times confused by a woman's voice reading a man's conversation. It was an interesting listen as I took my daily walks. I don't think we have the right to criticize the narration, because it is a dialect not commonly used in the listeners' country.

I chose this book for its rating, but I couldn't finish it because it was so boring. The narrator was terrible.

Awful. Couldnt understand most

A história parece interessante, mas eu tive muita dificuldade com a narradora, meu inglês não é tão bom e o inglês da narradora era deveras estranho. Notei que mesmo quem fala inglês teve dificuldade.

A very honest account of a difficult time in his life. Worth a listen

Was interested throughout the entirety.
