Great content - poor production/performance

Revisado: 08-29-22

The book itself is solid. A detailed, at times pedantic (in a good way) and upbeat telling of the history of Anton and the band. However, the audiobook suffers greatly from poor production. The author (who reads the audiobook) should have hired a narrator and an audio editor/engineer (this is how most audiobooks are made) and if that were the case it would be much, much better - like, by orders of magnitude.

I enjoy when the author reads their own book and usually prefer it. Here, the reading is totally rushed/chopped together as another review states. There are also many cases of repeat-takes of words and phrases. He'll start a sentence and then a few words into it, start the sentence again from the top. These occurrences should have been edited-out. However, the biggest issue is really just the speed; it sounds like it's being played at 2x when it's just playing at normal speed. The sound quality isn't great either — use a better microphone, record in a better environment. These changes would make the book soar. I understand he may have a limited budget here, I get it, but there's no point in making an audiobook version if it turns out so shabby. Please, hire a narrator and a studio and have the book re-recorded, proofed and repaired. I'd probably spend another credit just to get that version, because it's a slog getting through this one due to the poor production quality. His heart is in the right place. I wish he'd just do it right, which would make for an excellent trip all around.
