I have a long drive coming up so I downloaded the audiobook from Overdrive which is narrated by Wanda McCaddon. So why is the only review on my Overdrive this one?
Quote:
I like that Overdrive is available and I really appreciate that they have Kindle and epub versions of most books. But they really do need to get their act together on this type of thing. |

Ive listened to books narrated by McCaddon/May as well as Gibson and I agree with Jon- be glad you've got the McCaddon. I just listened to this one a few months ago by May (as she's listed on Audible) and she's great.

I am not frustrated by the narrator here, too many people here said she was good, I was more frustrated at the error by Overdrive. To have the only review be for a completely different version of the book is odd.
I wrote and deleted a fairly long rant about it earlier. I like OD, mostly because they are about the only option for Kindle library books, but they have some silly errors and what seem like bad decisions, like their redesign last year that took away functionality for no apparent reason, that make me wonder how long it will be before someone comes in and does it better. |

If you want, you can contact crutledge about his upload and let him know about the errors. It's up to the individual uploaded to correct their uploads. Faster and better, I think, just to upload your own to a new thread. |

I cannot. I don't have a record of all of the errors.
