To begin with, I thought his delivery was flat and lifeless. I first came across Michael Prichard as a narrator many years ago, with a recording of the Bourne Identity. And because of the way the audiobooks were originally presented (enough to fill a C60 or C90 cassette) vs how they are presented here (each chapter is a separate file), halfway through a chapter you can tell that there was a break in the original where the narrator had to pause and have a rest. In fact, there is one part (perhaps in chapter 24) where it gets so bad that they brought in another narrator to re-record a fragment. In some places, you can hear where it gets to 'the end of side 1' because the audio becomes a little muffled. This was taken from an old (ooooold!!) audio recording, possibly done in the 80s or 90s. It's not so much the narrator's voice that is the problem as the quality of the recording. I've given 4 stars for the performance of this audiobook.
