Query: The audio version is very poor and earned my lowest rating !

"Cold Mountain", the book was one of the best I ever read. It likely will become a classic example of the best American literature has to offer. The audio version is too poor to endure to conclusion. It is read in an arrrogant southern speech that approaches monotone and seems never to make an attempt to use changes in voice inflection or tone to differentiate the speakers. It sounds more like a volunteer reading to the elderly or blind in a hospital than a professional presenting a book-on-audio. Mr. Frazier did not do his wonderful book justice by attempting to present it himself. Also, the CD version I purchased from Random House had many technical glitches and minor recording errors.
