Members Reviews:

The worst narrator

I listen to a lot of audio books and without a doubt this is the worst narrator that I have ever heard. She made all the men sound like they had some sort of speech impediment, and the accents were appalling. I only managed to finish the story by listening in short bursts because the narrator was so irritating with all her strange pauses in the middle of sentences.

Veronica Henry take note, your book has been totally ruined by this narrator.

I have listened to most of Veronica Henry's books but wouldn't bother again if this narrator was reading it.

Just appalling narration!

Great book with lots of twists and turns. Pity the narrator made everyone sound like they had some sort of speech or intellectual impediment!

Terrible narration

What did you like best about Marriage and Other Games? What did you like least?

Not one of my favourite books of this author but that could be due to the most dreadful narrating I have ever listened to . At times I actually started to laugh because of the horrendous accents and pathetic way the narrator made all of the characters sound .

I really can't give a true review of the story because I couldn't take the characters seriously. This is not the first audio book I have listened to by this author and have loved all the other titles . Read this book .. Do not listen to it !!

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Maggie Mash?

I think anyone would have been preferable .

Not her best

I've had a couple of other books by Veronica Henry and have been pleased with them. This book however was disappointing.

The story wasn't the best but the narration was very poor and I was almost at the point of stopping listening many times. I would urge everyone to listen to the sample first (which I hadn't done as I had bought the story based on previous experience of this author) before purchasing.

Great characters, really good story, but . . . . .

What did you like most about Marriage and Other Games?

The characters were really well drawn and each of their stories were interesting. I really cared what happened next throughout.

Did Maggie Mash do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?

Maggie Mash's narration of the general story was really good and yes, she certainly differentiated the characters, but many of them were spoken in cringe making fashion. They were often spoken too loudly, with tones that frequently made them appear to have a significant learning disability (when they didn't)!

Any additional comments?

I did enjoy this book. I would definately have enjoyed it more with more consistently good narration. However, Henry has over-written it in places, using flowery words were they just should not be, e.g.
