Sometimes this can happen by mistake. I say this because some languages are tonal. If this translation was done via text I wonder if context is lost. Marcus was deep into stoicism so the audiobook is very monotone. But I ask myself did Marcus smile when he was thinking about his kind mother? Gruff when writing about his stepfather? The raw human emotion gets lost.
