Robotic reading of a moderately useful text

The narrator kind of ruined this book with her robotic enunciations and inappropriately excessive use of glottal stops.

Sloppy editing & strange word choice but good tips

There are some obvious problems with how the audio was edited, with many spoken repetitions the editor forgot to cut out.
Plus the narrator sometimes mispronounces proper nouns like Cogna, Greenwich, Chappaqua.

And the author worked in lots of strangely specific ideas like “you must book the Waldorf Astoria for New Years Eve” - not my sense of humor and you have to have enough of a critical eye to tell when she’s being hyperbolic.

Plus her recounting the low points in her life include several overly-gratuitous descriptions of bodily fluids—those all could have been left out! We get it, you used these strategies to get out of the worst possible living conditions but we don’t need to know the gory details!

It feels like the (American) author hired a British ghostwriter, considering how many strange British-isms have worked their way into the prose (“pub”, “100 thousand “and plus””, etc). Felt incongruous.

They couldn't have chosen a worse voice actor for this book. Imagine the dumbest sportscaster in the world trying to imitate Christopher Walken while also trying to emulate a robot. Would you cast that person to read classic British literature? Big fail here. Literally this work is better read by an actual text to voice robot.
