Unabridged Audiobook
The story is extremely repetitive , the dialogue is very repetitive and the narration is terrible . While I was listening to it I was thinking to myself why on earth did they not bring narrators who are native Arabic speakers because the pronunciation of arabic names , words and terms were wrong .. it’s like a foreigner reading Arabic names as is , the narrators can’t even pronounce the arabic letters properly.. then at the end of the book I found out that two of the narrators have arabic names .. but I’m more sure they never practices spoken arabic. This was very disappointing to me as a Palestinian listening to the book .. the narration was completely disconnected from the vibe of the culture and personalities .. what I didn’t understand was why the narrators where speaking in a weird foreign English accent whenever they were impersonating farida or Ezra or khaled or the Palestinian neighbors .. but Sarah was speaking in an American accent , while they were all speaking together in Arabic .. all in all the narration was very disappointing
The different narrators really bring this book to life.
I was reluctant to start this book. Boy am I glad I listened to it.
This book was beautifully written and well narrated.
Good book, great narration!
