This is not the original audio book narrated by Kevin R. Free and Katherine Kellegrin nor is it the British version narrated by Jane Collingwood and Joseph May for your information. This edition is not a bad production but most of the voices are better in the original and I wish they were still available from Google Play Books. I wish that this used a different vocalist for each and every person to widen the experience or use mechanical voices as an alternative. A collaboration would be okay.
