After that terrible chapter, I was worried about how the rest of the book would be and I am happy to report that.

That particular chapter was so bad that I could only grasp 30-40 percent of what the Grand High Witch was saying, My daughter, who this audiobook was for, could probably only pick out 5-10 percent.maybe. Roald Dahls The Witches, or simply The Witches, is a 2020 fantasy-comedy film directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Zemeckis, Kenya Barris, and Guillermo del Toro.It is based on the 1983 novel of the same name by Roald Dahl and is the second feature-length adaptation of the novel, after the 1990 film of the same name directed by Nicolas Roeg. I almost didn't want to listen to the rest of the audibook. The story is set partly in Norway and partly in the United Kingdom, and features the experiences of a young British boy and his Norwegian grandmother in a world where child-hating evil witches. Then the chapterk took a tumble and it's a large one for me. The Witches is a childrens fantasy horror novel by the British writer Roald Dahl.It was published in 1983 by Jonathan Cape in London, with illustrations by Quentin Blake (like many of Dahls works). or was I? The book was rather pleasing and well done up until Chapter 7 where we hear the Grand High Witch. After hearing the really nice sample that included sound effects, voice-changes, etc, I thought such a reviewer could just be overally sensitive.
THE WITCHES ROALD DAHL ONLINE BOOK UPDATE
UPDATE 10/22 Before getting the book, I checked out other reviews and saw some negative ones about the Grand High Witch's voice. I really wish I could give this book a higher rating.

This book should have come with a WARNING on the front cover. Getting to the end was touch and go several times! Unfortunately, without knowing if Miranda Richardson is going to use her pleasant voice or her screeching voice, we will never buy a book she narrates again. The story itself was fabulous, and the only reason we finished the book.which was no easy feat.
THE WITCHES ROALD DAHL ONLINE BOOK SKIN
Besides the skin crawling voice and the inaudible performance, the sound would go from so loud your head throbbed, to so low, you had to stop a rewind a few times before you could figure out what was said. Did anyone at the publisher listen to this before releasing it for sale? I would be shocked if that were the case. Besides making our ears bleed, we could understand about every third word of the High Witch. Her voice is so shrill that nails scratching on a chalk board is much more comforting. Do NOT listen to this book in the car, as the voice of the High Witch will make you want to drive straight into a wall.
