very muffled sound and quite random accents.

At times Scottish, others Irish, this author reads with energy but his Italian American is simply poor, a whisper that barely reaches the earphone. Not the best Sidney but still with some merit

great listen

I read the book many many years ago but listening was such an incredible delight.

great book on the road

narrator at first wasn't sure about him but then it grew on me as the book went on

muffled audio

Great Sidney Sheldon story as usual. However the muffled audio somewhat took away from the experience

Bad narrator

Loved the storyline and book overall, but Roddy McDowell’s voice made Lara seem like an old lady, I couldn’t imagine her being as young as her character really was. I envisioned her as a nun-like hunchback woman from the beginning, hard making it to the end, I had to speed up the audio. I think there should’ve been a female and male narrator.
