Where does one go to review these guys?
I've Googled away an hour and can't find anything substantial.
I thought I'd reward myself with a new read today but ended up returning two Overdrive selections because the readers were, in a word, terrible. Monotones, random inflection applied to every sentence on repeat, dialogue read like narrative...I could go on, but I won't.
I can review an author but there doesn't seem to be a place to review a reader for either great work or work akin to reading a phonebook aloud.
A reader makes or breaks a book for those who only read audiobooks. A bad reader means the book may be an excellent work, but will lose potential "read"ers due to the inability of the actor to perform the voice of the author.
