Lackluster and monotone

The reader lacked anything more than monotone reading, the book sounded more like a listing of citations more than a cohesive book

Appalling narration ruins it

The first thing I noticed was how odd the narration was. I looked it up and apparently it is narrated by someone called Dalan E. Decker, but I'm not convinced that it isn't a computer narration. It is too off to be a human narration. I can forgive (just) the woeful pronunciation of some common place names, but pronouncing the bow of the ship as boe (as in hoe), rather than bow (as in now) is just too wierd. You find yourself waiting for the next piece of poor pronunciation, rather than listening to the story.

As for the story. Okay, but not exactly a scholarly work. It wanders all over the place and many episodes are repeated in a different form a little later, making you wonder if you were listening in the first place. Maybe I wasn't. I struggled.

Summary - there must be better books on viking history out there.

Ok, but...

Being very interested in the topic and having completed some previous study, I looked forward to this book. Sadly, the narrator's constant, clumsy mispronunciation of even widely known and commonly used personal and place names, is driving me slowly crazy. Others may find this a pretty complaint, but I am struggling to finish the book. To some degree, my mixed French-Scottish ethnicity will explain my impatience with the narrator's utter butchery of words from these places. But even my modest knowledge of Danish and Norwegian led me to correct the reader out loud, while listening during my daily commute. If you are the slightest bit pedantic about language, avoid this one.
P.S. Gave up and returned the book. Did my head in!
