About this listen

"Crime and Punishment" opens in 1860s St. Petersburg, where Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, an impoverished former student, has come psychologically unhinged. He wanders about the city, barely eats, and hatches a vague plan he wishes to "test" one afternoon. He goes to the apartment of an old pawnbroker, who lives with her sister Lizaveta, and pawns his father's watch. Upon leaving, he repeats to himself his intentions: he will murder the old crone and rob her.

The narrator is awful. Monotone and without any expression. It could have been computer generated - not quite Stephen Hawking but not far off. I could not listen. Beyond the first chapter of the book. Sorry.

I'm familiar with this book and was looking forward to experiencing it in audible form but this particular narrator made no attempt at subtlety in his reading which was delivered at breakneck speed and included punctuation! Definitely one to avoid!

Dreadful narration!
