Litt skumle historier egentlig

A very interesting story. It's very easy to get captivated with the story.One thing i really hate is how the audio book is read. He bare makes any distinguishing voices to the characters, making it confusing of who talks when. And when a character shouts/screams, the read er too screams it out, hurtig my ears, making me have to turn down the volume. Like come on, you CAN indicate it by just talking a bit louder in an angry voice, you do not have to shout yourself!
