I'm sure multitudes of people like his style of reading, but I have found it to be incredibly slow and frustrating to listen to. He reads.... with ...... far too many..... pointless..... pauses. One can have meter and flow without the slow.
It's not exactly the same thing, but I much prefer the way that Dan Carlin (Hardcore History podcast) uses his voice to create atmosphere and draw me into the story.

- ian_d 9y agoI like Carlin's cadence, but I really wish they would run everything through some compression. The volume range between his "speaking" voice and when he's quoting someone is HUGE and sometimes requires mucking around with the volume to keep it listenable.
