Or when Emily was in the bathroom getting ready to shower and saw Josh’s camera. There was no pause/transition whatsoever. Suddenly, Josh was watching her brush her teeth in the bathroom. For example, Josh was filming Emily sitting on the couch talking to Ann. At times it was confusing as to what was going on. Was the narrator disregarding the scene breaks and simply continuing on instead of pausing? Did the author not include scene breaks so it was all “one scene” per chapter? Without a copy of the book itself, it could be either. I don’t know who would be to blame for this issue regarding the transitions, or lack thereof. There was an outtake that he didn’t “take out.” When they’re at Home Depot looking a ruler, he says something like “…picking out… picking out a ruler at Home Depot.” There was also when he said “The awkward silent pause ‘hong’ in the air (instead of ‘hung’). Otherwise, the narrator did a good job with the character voices, so it was easy to tell them apart. I found out that if I turned the volume down lower than normal, his voice sounded almost normal. I wasn’t sure how that was going to work, if I’d be able to get through the story or not. The first thing I noticed with this audiobook was the narrator’s nasally voice.
