Poorly edited audiobooks (lemmy.world)

I've had a few audiobooks over the years that have a mistake here and there, but at the moment I'm going through The Mahabharata - Volume 1 read by Gaurav Marwa and it's chock full of misread lines and words. Often he'll reread a sentence once or twice after making a mistake and it's all kept in the book.

Doesn't help that his reading is really dry. I'd honestly take some AI voice reading it.

Has anyone else come across some really poorly edited (or not edited) books that kept in mistakes?

I briefly listened to a book where the narrator mispronounced "narrated."

Fastest return of my life.
