John Curless
We hold 2 readings in this voice, on 43,745 ratings of the narration. Every one of them is rated by enough listeners for us to say where the reading stands. What follows is a record of recordings and not a verdict on a narrator. The stamp belongs to the book, the standing belongs to the reading, and neither of them belongs to John Curless.
Earmark judges books and recordings, never narrators. A verdict says which format deserves your one and only first encounter with a book, so it belongs to the book; where a reading stands is a claim about one recording, measured against every other book on our shelf, and it belongs to that recording. Neither of those is a claim about a working life, so there is no score here for John Curless and there is not going to be one. We also say nothing at all about a reading fewer than 250 people have rated. That bar is published on House Rules, and it is the same bar whether we would be praising a recording or criticising it.
