Useful study tool, just get past the accent

Revisado: 06-04-24

The content in the book is a great overview of IH topics, with specific examples one would expect to see on the CIH exam and in IH practice. It is well-known in the IH community as one of the very helpful study guides for folks wanting to get certification. I'm listening to it while commuting as part of my CIH exam studies, and by the second listen, I had much-needed confidence with some subject matter.

That being said, Dr. Farcas is not originally from an English-speaking country, and his accent is pretty strong. If you have no problem adjusting to accents, like me, this likely will not be much of a problem. If you're unsure. listen to the sample and decide whether you can learn scientific/technical information with new pronunciations. Either way, since some topics require information that is best digested as written material, I recommend having a written copy of the book, too.

If this were re-recorded with a narrator for whom English is a first language, it would be a no-brainer listen for IHs. But with such a small potential audience, I doubt that is in the cards.

Great Rendition of a great book

What made the experience of listening to Ender's Game the most enjoyable?

I loved Ender's Game before I listened to the audio version, and I love it more now. All too often, I find that books focus on action, to the detriment of character, and vice versa. Here, the action and character progression are inextricably tied together. As the action escalates, Ender and his siblings become increasingly vivid and realized. Their mental activities are just as interesting, to me, as their physical feats. I love that this underdog story, while it does highlight the spirit of ingenuity and dogged determination to overcome obstacles that is popular in sci-fi, also raises philosophical questions about the ethics of survival. The actors that portray each person/character, really do enhance the cinematic qualities of the novel. One or two were a little less than perfect, but they were still highly listenable, overall. I'll listen to this one over and over again.
