This can become exceedingly irritating and distracting, either from eliciting laughter or ire, but is definitely bad enough in places as to render the text unintelligible. Certainly names and terminology from ancient cultures, which is a problem in a book dealing chiefly with these subjects, but even common words in modern English parlance. The major warning, which could stem from a pet peeve of mine, is that the narrator mispronounces words very frequently. The book itself is a wonderful, incisively- researched treatise on comparative mythology, religion and philosophy, containing illustrations of various symbols, archeological groundplans, etc., so if you are the type like myself to read and listen definitely get the physical or digital copy of the printed book for full context. I was going to wait until finishing this audiobook to review in order to place the experience in its total context but three hours have already given me a sense of what to expect and a strong desire to alert other potential listeners to this audiobookâs peculiarities. The Mispronounced Teachings of All the Ages
