Narrator not great

I love the content of the book. However, the narrator made it nearly impossible to listen to. She seems to be very unfamiliar with the content, and mispronounced several words and phrases in the text. It was a very wooden performance, with little to no inflection in her voice at all. I can't honestly say I would listen to this narrator again. Is there no proofreading?

Don’t waste your money

The narrator cannot pronounce a lot of the words in this book and struggles to read it. I couldn’t get past the 1st chapter because it was so hard and frustrating to listen to

informative & safety-minded, but so-so narration

covers the history & culture of modern witchery to begin with, and I bought this book mostly as research, so that was nice.

there isn't much regulation in the self help/ improvement/ spiritually/diy genres, so I was pleasantly surprised by the warnings, from "candles cause a significant amount of house fires" to "do not use any plant you have not positively identified".

there's a few recipes near the end as well, but that's less helpful to me in an audio medium.

unfortunately, the narration was... not great. the lady had a fine voice, but she paused several times, and repeated herself a few others-- these should have been edited out. between the occasional silence and her slow reading, I ended up turning my playback up to 1.75 speed, which I rarely do.

still, it didn't ruin my experience. it didn't make me like the book any less. just wish the narration had seen a bit more finishing.

buy the print book

Wonderful, quirky and fun content is destroyed by the most horrible and unprofessional narration I've ever heard. Her fluency is similar to listening to my dyslexic 4th grader attempting a grade- level passage for the first time-complete with rampant mispronounciations, awkward pauses and extreme variations in speed. The fake accent, reminiscent of Effie Trinket from Hunger Games, fades to mush-mouth American with indigestion, including pauses in the reading to burp (chapter 5). Audible mouse-clicks highlight the abysmal editing which overlooks the reader backing away from the microphone for several words during the course of a sentence (again, chapter 5). The reader owes the author an apology for ruining her book.

Needs new Narrator!!!

OMG!!!! the narrator of this book is horrible. I tried to listen for a while hoping it would get better but it doesn’t. She stops in the middle of the sentences she can’t figure out the words that are right in front of her. It’s very distracting. Today I saw this title with a different narrator I suggest getting that one.

Yeah, no

First thing it talks about is Wicca and how kitchen witchery is entrenched in Wicca. I stopped because while to each his own, I totally dislike the notion that anything is of Wicca. Wicca is new and has few rights to exclusivity.

Need to offer a transcript of content

The content is needed but the narrator is horrible I would have preferred the transcript and still do plz download one and offer it

More of a health book

It is more of a health book, just a few rid bits nothing necessarily magical.
