Juvenile Term Paper

I just paid for and listened to a sixth grade term paper read by a sixth grader.
It is unbelievable to me that a voice-over talent cannot pronounce words correctly (annihilate was pronounced "anilate", for example). The content sounds and reads like it was copied and pasted from various sources on the internet, and some sentences are repeated verbatim from a paragraph or two before.
If I could stand to listen to the thing again, I would make a note of all the mispronunciations and redundancies in text and send it to the author and narrator, but I believe some editor has already been overpaid to do that.
How did I get through it? I refused to give up, and finally turned it into a game of listening for mispronounced words, unnecessary pregnant pauses in the narration, and redundant phrases and themes. Then it became comic relief while driving.
If you will listen with that particular attitude, you might find enjoyment in this book.
