I listened to Ivanhoe as read by David McCallion and he mispronounced Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert from first to last, which really spoiled it for me. Sometimes I wonder where the qc is on audiobooks. In any case, a consistent mispronouncer is someone whom I'll never listen to again (assuming I remember, and I'm pretty sure I remember the most egregious).
