Another great addition to the series, not for audi

Revisado: 12-30-22

I love this series. The length and complexity of the story, the great characters, I really enjoy the whole series and wait for the next installment each time. I also absolutely love the reader, he's such a pleasure to listen to and does a wonderful job setting the scene with the accents.
However. I can't really recommend listening to this one. Because it deals with cyber crime, online gaming, and lots of blogs and commenting and hashtags, it's really really hard to listen to the readout of endless urls, hashtags, and @mentions of endless handles. Really hard and it often goes on for over half an hour. It also makes it hard to focus and I ended up missing this gs because I kept zoning out while the Urls wereall read out endlessly.

not a great choice for audio

Revisado: 10-19-20

I've enjoyed other Galbraith books as audio books, but in this one there were so many characters and so much going on that it was hard to follow this without the ability to flip back to the beginning to be reminded who was who.

Not a great audio choice

Revisado: 09-01-10

The methods described in this book were enlightening for me and are proving really helpful with our family's new dog. However. As an audio book I didn't think this book was very successful for a number of reasons, not least of which was the narrator. There is something irritating in the tone of the narrator's voice that we all found grating - as if he were explaining things to people who have a hard time understanding. In addition, there are many lists in the book and added resources in appendices that are referred to that can't really be appreciated in the form of an audio book. Great content, but it would be more useful in paper version.

Not like David Sedaris...

Revisado: 01-04-10

If you were hoping for something insightful and entertaining, find something else. This book was boring, obvious and not very well written. A real disappointment.

favorite listen

Revisado: 07-23-08

In three years with Audible, having heard dozens of books while stuck in traffic, this Ken Follett series was my alltime favorite listen. The story was gripping and entertaining, the narrator is great and I was enthralled by this book for the entire 50+ hours. Surprisingly, I liked this sequel even better than Pillars of the Earth.

Painfully boring. My long commute now seems eternal while I suffer through this book.

best listen

Revisado: 08-13-07

This is my all-time favorite Audiobook. It's the only non-fiction book I've ever had a really hard time putting down. Interesting, funny and intelligent. Gladwell reads excellently.

useless

Revisado: 08-13-07

This was terrible. I listened to it before going to Italy and found it useless. Had I been a business man looking to pick up a lovely signorina it might have been appropriate, but the only things they teach are "do you speak English/Italian" "I want something to eat/drink" and "Where is Veneto street?" not really enough to get around in Rome, and no basics about the language or how it is constructed.

Excellent Listen

Revisado: 10-24-06

People sometimes ask me if I think that I'm missing out by not reading a book instead of listening. This audiobook convinced me that I'm not missing out. Not only could I feel and follow just how well constructed this novel is, but I would have missed out if I hadn't heard this fantastic reading. The accents and voices add so much to the story and really bring this wonderful book to life.
