In fact, I loved the narrator's voice and thought she did a wonderful job...

Buy the book -- reader is distracting
This is a really fun, engaging book and I enjoyed the story a lot. In my opinion, Helen Fielding lives up to her terrific reputation with this one.

What I absolutely do not like is the reader's American accents. She has a beautiful voice and does a stellar job with the narrative text and British accents, but her American accents are stilted and unrealistic.

Since the story is set almost entirely in America, this is a big, big problem.
