Aidan Gillen needs to narrate more books
What made the experience of listening to The Art of War the most enjoyable?
The narration
What did you like best about this story?
The simplicity, the sensibility that Sun Tzu brought to chaotic war.
Which character – as performed by Aidan Gillen – was your favorite?
...
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.
Any additional comments?
Please have Aidan Gillen narrate The Prince next, and really anything else. This man could read a phone book and I'd pay for it.

Great performance
This ancient text may apply to many people's work. Anyone who works in a competitive environment can benefit from it, even if only a little. Even if you can't benefit from it, this work might help the listener to understand historical works dealing with wars better.
The reading is excellent. Aidan Gillen does a great job reading the text. I don't know if it's because I've been watching Game of Thrones for four seasons, but it sounds like he's using a kind of Littlefinger voice here, which adds to the effect. I'd recommend this audiobook to pretty much anyone, even if they don't have an army.

Very Informative and Excellent Performance
Didn't recognise the actor's name but when I recognised him I thought it was an excellent choice. He has a very dry and engaging voice.
It was quite informative and I like all the definitions e.g. intersecting ground. I think I'll have to listen to this again so that all the points sink in.

And you thought he ran a solid bordello?
Littlefinger narrates The Art of War. 'nuff said... except these seven words required for review.

An inspiring if somewhat dated read
Though references to banners & chariots may betray the relevancy of Sun Tsu's insight in daily life, the art of war is a truly fascinating read.
