- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This audiobook contains the worst narration I've ever heard. I listened to about half of the story. During that time, Michael Venditti mispronounced dozens of words. There is no rhythm in his narration. His sudden starts and stops are jarring. I tried to finish this version of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, but I wasn't able to. I switched to the version narrated by B.J. Harrison, which I enjoyed much more.
