Horrible Chinese accents were horrific, bordering on offensive.

I really was disappointed with the final book. It really just dragged on and on. But, this review is mainly about the audio book. I think this was one of the worst audio books I have listened to due to the really, really bad accents from the narrator. The Chinese accents were horrific, bordering on offensive. They made an already laborious story almost too difficult too follow. Every stereotype Chinese phrase was done (substituting L's for R's, etc) and it really got annoying. It is really a shame.
