Very crap pronunciation

The story itself is very interesting. The main issue here is the crap pronunciation of Irish names and places makes you cringe so bad. The reading is bad and there is often pauses while the reader figures out how to pronounce the next work. The terrible reading completely takes away from the story. Very, very disappointing.

Poor pronunciation

The pronunciation of Irish names and place names is very poor. Very misleading and confusing.

Terribly robotic narration with constant errors.

I'm convinced this was read by a piece of software, there were almost constant grammatical errors and sentences that didn't make any sense.

I think there may be some interesting information hidden in here but the narration and jumpy unclear narrative (chapter 20 introduces the book?!?!) meant I only got half way through.

It is a shame really as there seems to be very little on Celtic mythology on audible but I would not recommend this title at all.

Near undecipherable pronunciation of celtic names

Couldn't listen behond a few chapters because the place and people names, which are crucial to the book, are not pronounced correctly. This is very distracting.
Oisín... She pronounces oye-see-en
In some sections nearly every other word Is mispronounced

Robotic delivery ruins the book

I was expecting a mixture of history and story telling. The book is all history and although full of interesting information it is ruined for me by a flat delivery in a monotone voice complete devoid of expression.
This makes me struggle to focus, concentrate or engage with the book.
Very disappointing, not worth the purchase.

Very poor pronunciation of Irish words

As the title describes. I couldn't deal with how off most of the old Irish words are.

Painful

This could have been so good as the stories, legends and geographical references are all good but the narrator has no idea of the pronunciation of the simplest of Irish words. Not her fault as they should have appointed someone suitable. Almost painful to listen to.
