I hear what you are all saying.. and I agree that the reader is not on par with the Jim Dale’s of the world (love him!!) – but what is funny is that she really did grow on me. Especially over the course of the subsequent books. I have been tempted to go back and listen to part of this audio book and then to Breaking Dawn to see if I think she improved in her reading style over the course of the series.

I will admit that I stuck with the series much more out of desire to hear where Meyer went with the story than due to any great loyalty to the reader. As is always the case – your mileage may vary.

I had just finished listening to the last Harry Potter novel and decided to give Twilight a go. Going from the wonderful Jim Dale, who does a phenomenal job with all of the Harry Potter series, to this reader was almost more than I could handle. She doesnt bring any life to the novel, I felt as if I was back in my high school english class forced to listen to some poor unenthusiastic student read aloud. Once I found out that she is the reader for the entire series, I think I will be reading the rest of the series on my own.

The audio performance was awful. Lacking in variety or any kind of emotional inflection – it was so BORING to listen to. I won’t do another audio version of this – if I go back, I’ll read the books. That way the characters can express actual emotions in my head.

Awful experience!! Iâ€m so disappointed with the readerâ€¦. Monotonous, dull reading, sounds like the phone book. Great book, poor reader. So sorry sheâ€s reading the whole saga. Really sorry!!!!!
