I just finished listening to Duma Key by Stephen King. For some reason, the narrator thought it was a good idea to lower the volume of their voice and nearly whisper the really dramatic parts. It'd be like "**Her father was a **^smdfprhfjs"

I had to rewind so many times that I was ready to quit. Fantastic book otherwise, but having an option to jump to text real quick would've been a life saver.
