I'm listening to Lies and Weddings by Kevin Kwan because I really enjoyed his Crazy Rich Asians series. I've had this book on hold for months and am finally listening to it. The issue is the audiobook narrator paused very few words. So every sentence sounds like "He got. On the plane. And looked for. His seat. Which was near. An older woman." (That's not a quote from the book, just an example how how the book is being read). I'm hoping I can push past it because already the book is promising to be as good as CRA but the constant staccato sentences are driving me nuts.

I had this with a book before, the narrator over acted everything and had like the most over the top voices for each character. It was a struggle getting through it!
People do that in reels/ tik toks and it drives me insane. You are totally valid to DNF because of it. Are you able to read the book rather than listen?
I feel your pain. Got one of my favorite books on audible as an audiobook Sunshine by Robin McKinley. The narrator was just awful, so flat and monotone with absolutely no emotion behind her words. I was only able to listen to for a couple of pages before I had to turn it off.
I’ve had that happen before. Sometimes switching to a slightly faster playback speed helps smooth out the pauses.
