I‘ve wanted to listen to this for some time, but the reviews said the narrator was difficult to listen to. They just released this new audio version and it‘s a narrator that‘s popular for many audios. I‘m only a few hours in but I can tell it‘s a very different and positive listen. Highly recommend if the former narration made you bail on it.
