Sometimes writers decide they are going to narrate their audio books themselves. Sometimes it works out well (Martyn Waites e.g.). Often it does not. Mark Cousins' narration of the brilliant DVD set covering the history of film is analogous to the author who narrates but shouldn't. The history and analysis is excellent (5 star) but his droning voice with every statement lilting upwards at the very end... AAAAAGH !!!!! So it loses a star for that. If only he'd got an actor to do it.
