Good mid level occult, but narration is fried!

I enjoyed the content of this book, but I found the narrator to be lacking in apparent understanding of the material. You know when someone reads from a script rather than memory? That's what I hear when I listen to this narrator. Obviously most narrators do this, but they generally have read the book at least once before so they know the concepts in the words, and when to emphasise certain points. This audio narration is monotone and metronomic, and his voice is heavy on the American fry / burr that you hear when people from California speak words "like..." and and "r" is drawn out to a "rrrrrr". I prefer good readers with non-regional voices but perhaps this is just me.

The author is the world famous Occultist, the on and only Madame Blavatsky who authored numerous works in this discipline. The book reads like a scientific thesis on the occult - no doubt as symptom of the time when this was written in the 1800's - but it will not be something that younger listeners will be able to avoid becoming frustrated with.
