The narration almost ruined this book for me. I had to keep distancing myself from it to appreciate the writing. The voice is terribly affected, sometimes it feels like he’s mocking the characters making them sound cartoonish. It's too old to be the voice of the character narrating. Then there’s the weird music suffocating key moments of the story. Wish I had read this book...

Fantastic book!

Read this book years ago for Bookclub and am so happy to hear it read. Narrator sounded like what 1940s-1950s immigrants in Detroit most likely sounded like. LOVED IT!

Audio file is jittery for second half of the book. The book itself is fantastic.

I LOVED the narration! I thought the narrator did an incredible job of enveloping you into the story. The book was absolutely incredible - I'm so sad it's over!

Captivating, amazing story of several generations of greek immigrants. It's astonishing how Eugenides told the story from a young girl's point of view with such real emotions. The research into this subject was vast; the topic was unusual and I learned quite a bit about the medical aspects of intersex individuals. 4 star to narrator. In the beginning the narration was ok, then narration impeoved significantly but at the end of the book there were some sound issues.

amazingly well written

I absolutely loved this book. I had to read it for my literature class and honestly didn't have high hopes for it, but wow! It's one of my faves now. Love the style of writing and how detailed the author is. Now I want to read more by Eugenides. Highly recommend!!! The narrator is great. Did different voices for all the characters, and was super easy to understand. No complaints.

The Greeks sound as Russians and all the rest as members of the mafia, what a pity .

Masterful- one of those rare books which is both thoughtful and entertaining. Eugenides tackles a towering subject- and he does so well.

What a wonderful journey through a roller coaster of a life and the lives of those before. The narrator did a fantastic job of making me feel submerged in the characters culture.

Excellent story, superbly written language, magnificent narrator with various accents which highlighted the variations of voices. Enjoyed the book, the story and audio.

Loved this story teller! He did a great job. Both the author and reader. :)

Book was very slow and not what I expected from the preview I read . Good overall though
