I thought long and hard about what to write about this audio book series. I tried...REALLY tried to like it and I just can't. I thought...I'll listen to a few more minutes...surely it's got to get better. But it never did.I LOVE the books and devoured them as each one came out and have read and re-read them so many times that my paperbacks have weak spines. When I saw them in audio format I was thrilled. I adore audio books. They help pass the time when traveling home to my parents, making a four hour drive fly by. They also are a great way to spend my daily traffic commute. So, needless to say, when I saw one of my favorite series, by one of my favorite authors available in audio format, I jumped at the chance and "to heck" with the cost!My all-time favorite audio books are those that are done by a man and a woman; Anne McCaffrey's "Freedom" series is awesome. BUT, I seriously have no problems with a talented woman actor doing the reading; The Three Sisters trilogy read by Sandra Burr was excellent or The Key trilogy read by Susan Ericksen; equally awesome. I can only say, that Patricia Daniels, the "actress" who reads the Irish Trilogy must either be related to Ms. Roberts and Ms. Roberts was forced to use "cousin Pat" or she has to have some sort of blackmail hold on Ms. Roberts to ruin these wonderful books. It's worse than the worst "Reading Time" at the public library. Picture Mother Goose reading the Three Bears and you have some idea of the rhythm and finesse that has been utilized in these books. Patricia Daniels' acting (if it can be called that) is so juvenile and downright horrible as to be non-existent. Her Irish accent just plain stinks (if I heard "ting" for 'thing" or "tem" for 'them' one more time...
