Helpful but not entertaining
- John
Great advice, awful monologue.
Minutes after listening to the audio book, I started thinking that the print version would have been better.
N/A there's only one character as far as I know.
She just wasn't engaging enough. At lot of times I got lost and had to listen to a chapter again because I got distracted.
Nope.
Don't get me wrong, the book is really good but it'll be better with another narrator. She might be good with small talk but audiobook narrating is not her strong suit.
