This book was gifted to me a while ago, but I only managed to listen to it now. I had listened to another book by the same narrator a while ago, and had really liked her performance.
I was completely unprepared for the German accent here. At first, I thought I couldn't stand it (being German myself, it always makes me wonder whether that is how I talk, too, which would be horrifying). However, I wanted to know the story, and after a while I got used to the accent.
I have to say, though, that I was so distracted by the accent, that I didn't grasp the prologue at all, and afterwards had to go back and listen to it again to understand what happened there. If I hadn't read up on Rommel in the meantime, I'm not sure I'd have got it even then.
I don't know whose idea it was to have this book read with a German accent, and I'm still not sure it was a good idea, but it was perfectly narrated by Nancy Peterson. It must have been hard to do the accent without overdoing it, so kudos to her for that, even if I for one didn't like it. :)… (mehr)
