Yes, there is some bleed-through when he switches between them on occasion, but never to the point that it interferes with the flow of the story. The narrator does a nice job of lending unique voices to each character. I have always been a fan of this series and I am now a fan of its reading. Having said that, I am happy that I decided to go ahead and download this title in spite of the reviews here. especially on the internet where they can be safe to say anything they want in their anonymity. Personally, I feel that people find it all too easy to be critical of things (overly critical in fact). I was concerned about not being able to lose myself in the telling of the story. I hesitated to download this title because of several fairly harsh reviews of the narrator (Cameron Beierle).

The characters and their interactions are memorable and entertaining and occasionally insightful. These are not, perhaps, 'classic' literature, but they're good reads, and as audiobooks, well read. The 'good guys' all have flaws and occasionally do some unpleasant or unflattering things the 'bad guys' all have reasons for what they do that make perfect sense to them. What I've always liked best about them is that they aren't black-and-white. On one level, they are quite simple, but there's some complex ideas floating around at deeper layers. While it's true that his accents shift around a bit, and not all of his interpretations match what I had in my head, by and large I find his reading excellent, for one key reason: it sounds very much like these are stories Mr Beierle truly enjoys, and understands, and wants to share and not just like something he's reading as a job. These audiobooks (for I've listened to the whole series, now) do a remarkable job, for me, of bringing the stories to life in a new way, having read and reread them over the years. Some people love Mr Beierle's interpretation some really don't. First, I want to say that, reading others' reviews, it becomes clear how very subjective preferences in narration style and voice can be.
