I'd be interested to hear how you think Newton did. You may remember I listened to Emma Thompson's reading of Turn of the Screw. She's a fantastic actress but she absolutely butchered the audiobook narration, so now I'm leery of famous actors narrating as a name 'get'. It could be that Thompson was just an outlier though.
