The Revolutionary Temper (Audiobook): Paris, 1748-1789

I don't typically leap to leave poor reviews, but in this case, I believe this is a Public Service Announcement: the French bits in the audio version are astonishingly substandard. The author cites for the book archival, primary sources written in French yet for some bizarre reason, the media company responsible for the audio format decided a narrator without even a passable ability for French pronunciation was suitable.

A well researched and widely reviewed accounting of the French Revolution, one of, if not the defining dethronment (arguably, gone awry) to embody the Enlightenment's influence across Western Europe. A topic of such historic magnitude deserves better than shoddy French, imo.

While I cannot recommend this audio edition, it isn't a reflection of the book -- I do still intend to read it.
