Ramona Quimby, Age 8 by Beverly Cleary

2.0

---

The book is fine, even good. Clearly knows how to write children realistically, which I appreciate. Stockard Channing, however, was awful as a narrator. She speaks unevenly, even slurs words together, in a failed attempt to create different voices. I found myself constantly messing with the audio speed in an effort to keep up, but it didn't work.
