The narrator ruined it

I don’t know if I hate the book or if the narrator did such a terrible job of it. It felt like he was speaking a foreign language. The pacing of his narration and the way he read everything made none of it make sense. Zero emotion. Like a robot. I hated this experience and I guess I might have to read this collection again in the future to figure out if it’s any good or not.
