Frankly, I think the industry is getting away with a level of shoddy production that wouldn't be tolerated in a print book. It should be someone's job to listen to these things before they're foisted on innocent listeners.

But they may have been the author's/proofreader's mistakes, not the narrator's entirely. If the mistakes were in the text, does the narrator have the right to overrule the text and read what "should" be there?
This was a nonfiction book and did not require more than simply a straight reading--no dramatizing or vocal gymnastics. The narrator was adequate if not exciting, and I enjoyed the book.
