  • I'm a big fan of the Mitford Series and the way John McDonough brings the characters to life with his narration. 'In This Mountain' tackles some challenging moments in the lives of various characters, making it a compelling story. However, I did notice a glitch in the book where a portion of a chapter was missing, starting abruptly in the middle of a sentence. It seemed like an editing oversight. Additionally, there was another section that had static, which was a bit distracting. Due to these issues, I had to deduct some points from my overall rating of the book.
  • I'm a huge fan of Jan Karon's Mitford series and the narrator John McDonough is just fantastic. However, I did notice a few issues with the audio version of "In This Mountain". Specifically, there were a few instances where paragraphs were abruptly cut off and there was a section that had some static interference. It would be great if these issues could be addressed and the audio could be remastered to fix these problems. I plan on revisiting this series multiple times in the future and it would be wonderful to have an improved audio experience.
  • I really enjoyed "In This Mountain," although I think I would have preferred reading it in print. However, John Mcdonough's narration was incredibly well done, making it feel like a captivating live performance. Karon's storytelling is as engaging as ever, immersing us in the lives of the characters. While there were a few instances in the audiobook where I had to go back to the library setting to restart each chapter due to some skipping, overall, it was a fantastic listening experience!
  • 'In This Mountain' is yet another fantastic addition to the beloved Mitford series, and Jeff's narration truly brings it to life. However, it's worth mentioning that there are a few audio glitches that can be a tad bothersome. Nevertheless, the book as a whole is absolutely charming.
  • To keep the reader or listener engaged, the author needs to craft a captivating narrative. Equally important is the narrator's ability to deliver a stellar performance and bring the story to life. Lastly, the editor's role is crucial in seamlessly blending the story and the performance, ensuring that the listener can't even detect any stitching together of different parts. Although the story itself is great and the performance is wonderful, the editing falls short in this audiobook. Unfortunately, there are instances where parts of one chapter are misplaced, making the overall narrative feel disjointed. It's not just a one-time occurrence either; this issue persists throughout the book, disrupting the flow of the story. Additionally, there are moments of poor sound quality, with crackling and background noise intruding. This type of subpar editing is not present in the other Mitford books I've listened to, so I hope it's not a recurring problem in the rest of the series since it significantly impacts the story's rhythm.
  • I really enjoyed the story, but unfortunately, the audiobook is actually lacking a chapter! It's frustrating because I encountered the same issue when I purchased it on iTunes. Additionally, there are some parts where the audio quality is a bit scratchy. Despite these flaws, the overall narrative remains one of my favorites!
  • After listening to around 800 audiobooks, I've become used to the impeccable recordings. However, there was a glitch in this particular recording. At one point, I was taken aback when I heard the phrase, "this is the end of disc 12." 😳 Later on, there was a noticeable shift in the sound quality. Apart from that, John McDonough and Jan Karon continue to deliver with their usual perfection. Sometimes I almost find myself believing that John McDonough IS Father Timothy Kavanaugh.
  • The story and narrator in 'In This Mountain' were fantastic. However, the editing is severely lacking. The chapters have abrupt cutoffs and awkward beginnings that make it seem like there are missing words or sections.
