What, no Jeremy Irons?

For a book about the blackest mother****er in the Realms, I was expecting more of a Michael Clarke Duncan.

I liked the first reader the best, despite all of them pronouncing Drizzt different than I would imagine. Since they likely got a pronunciation guide I guess I've been saying it wrong for all these years.

What words actually have double Zs?

Drizzle = Drizz-it
Pizza = Dreet-zit

I don't know any word that has ZZ as an S.

I liked Mark Boyett the best. He seemed the most into what he was narrating and in touch with the scene, and transferred that very well through his voice.

 

[GX.Sigma]

Pizza = Dreet-zit

That's actually kinda how R.A. Salvatore pronounces it (ZZ as TS), presumably because that's how it works in Italian (pizza = pitsa, mozzarella = motsarella, etc).
