Poor Performane

Revisado: 03-16-25

While I don't expect narrators to be experts at accents, this narrator sounded as if she was trying to sound upper class yet the story was set in the streets of Flint, MI. She even tried southern accents for some (non-southern) characters. Another issue was the repeated mispronounciations of locations in the book (Clio Road, Grand Blanc, Ypsilanti, etc.). That's just lazy. As far as the story goes, it was interesting but a better editor could have made it far more compelling.

Worst Narrator Ever

Revisado: 03-13-25

I think this book may have been better than I think it was, because the narrator was so terrible. Her accents were awful and she should not have attempted them. The worst was that she felt the need to shout throughout the book. Turning the volume down did not resolve the issue as then one missed other parts of the narration. Overall, the story was solid - not great, not bad, but completely destroyed by the horrible narrator.

Dreadful

Revisado: 02-16-23

Listened to it all but it was oh so predictable. It was melodramatic storytelling at its worst. The author seemed to be trying for a Mr. Ripley but fell terribly short. The ONLY interesting thing about the book was that it took place in Morocco. Hated it!!!

The only benefit of this book is as a sleep aid. Don't waste your time.

Worst Book Ever Written

Revisado: 06-17-21

I wanted to like this but it was excrutiating and simply, the worst book I have read. Ever. I try to be kind and generous in reviews but there is nothing to redeem this. I purchased this thinking that it would be along the lines of the excellent book, Atomic Habits. A straightforward nonfiction book that provides information on being more effective. Instead, this book is presented in a fictional story form with the ridiculous notion that two strangers, an artist and an entrepreneur meet a homeless man at a self-help conference. The homeless man convinces them to meet him at 5 a.m the following day so he can take them to an island in the Indian ocean and teach them to change their lives. (because the homeless guy is really a billionaire). If that weren't bad enough, the dialogue is beyond horrible - the homeless guy/billionaire repeatedly uses words such as, "gnarly," and "any-who" and refers to the artist and entrepreneur as "cats." It's bad, fake "surfer dude" talk at its worst. There is also a smugness that is conveyed that if you do NOT wake up at 5 a.m, forget all of the success and riches that will come your way because of it, you are morally inferior. The first chapter was so bad, I skipped through it to the 4th chaper. I tried to listen but was so distracted by the depth of how horrible the writing was, I gave up a couple chapters later. Is there anything at all of value in this book at all? Who knows - it was too painful to endure! If this is an example of what is produced when one "joins the 5 am club," l'm going to sleep until noon and suggest that the author do the same!!!

Fascinating Book but too-fast narration

Revisado: 05-31-17

Very interesting book but the narrator read entirely too fast. Had to keep rewinding.

Outstanding narration.

Revisado: 02-26-17

This is a charming book but the narrator is the star. Best narration I've heard.
