I already finished listening to the full version of Killers of the Flower Moon, but I was listening to it while my daughter was in the hospital and was distracted. When I saw that this Summary was on Hoopla, I decided to listen to it and make sure I didn't miss anything important.
However, I got so frustrated with the narrator that I have no idea if the summary was good or not. I am willing to give some grace to the narrator after reading his bio and finding out that he is not native to the U.S. and therefore may not know how certain things are pronounced. However there has to have been people who listened to this recording while it was being produced that should have caught the errors before releasing it.
The big issue was how the narrator pronounced the word Osage. Since that is a very prominent word in this story, I was almost pulling my hair out after hearing it mispronounced for about the 100th time. There were also two town names mispronounced: Bowie, Texas and Pawhuska, Ok. Bowie I get. It isn't pronounced the way one might think, but Pawhuska should not have been that difficult.
I just think that care should be taken by audio book narrators, directors and producers to make sure that words and names are pronounced correctly. When they are not, it is incredibly distracting and takes the listener out of the story.

As others have pointed out, it is infuriating listening to this SpeedyReads narrator mispronounce the name Osage all throughout the book, save in the first minutes. And I don't just mean because the accent or emphasis is on the wrong syllable. Besides that, I found this summary to get more and more confusing, without clarity as to certain key figures and when or why jumps back and forth in time are occurring.

I listened to this as a refresher for my book club. I had read the book a couple of years ago and just needed some quick reminders. This was available on Hoopla from my local library and it was helpful. It was a bit distracting that Osage and some other towns/words weren’t pronounced correctly.
