Would you be willing to try another one of Alex Barrett’s performances?Ībsolutely not! Never, ever and I can't understand how this was recorded and nobody listened to it before it was released and thought, 'hang on, this is terrible!' None, it was quite original and a little odd. What other book might you compare The Kneebone Boy to, and why? We were on an eight hour journey through France with nothing else to listen to which is the only reason we persevered.but it was truly painful!! I'd recommend listening to a sample before buying. Unfortunately, what was actually a really imaginative story was totally spoiled but this narrator - it wasn't just once or twice but throughout. One sentence said something like, '.it leaves you feeling a bit bleurrgh', which although isn't an actual word, we all know how it should sound but this author pronounced every letter, which was just bizarre. There were some words that were mispronounced so badly, that we felt maybe English wasn't her first language. The lead character was called Otto (but she pronounced it Auto). The accent was a mix of Irish, American and Queen's English posh. At first, we thought it was an automated voice but realised it was a real human after a time. What disappointed you about The Kneebone Boy? Great story but absolutely terrible narrator
