GREAT books, Not-So-Great narrator

Revisado: 09-07-17

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes, very much so. Mr. Wattles' inspiring topics are well worth any effort to assimilate them. I will listen repeatedly to these contents, and internalize everything that I find useful.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Science of Getting Rich Trilogy?

The shock of hearing mispronounced words and misplaced emphasis in the narration ... mildly annoying, and mildly amusing. Thankfully, the content is more important to me than these nuisances. I learn a great deal by assimilation of Mr. Wattles' ideas, but I've also learned that I will decidedly avoid this narrator's work in future audio books.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Core Media Productions?

Mitch Horowitz, if possible. He understands this type of material, and performs the task of translating it to audible narration very well.

Any additional comments?

I chose this edition for two reasons: The extra content, and the clarity of the narrator's voice. Some of the other available editions have soft-spoken narrators who do not sound well to me over speakers, and must be heard only through earphones, so I checked the sample and chose this edition for the reasons I mentioned. However, having listened, I was pretty disappointed with the narrator's seeming unfamiliarity with the material. He mis-pronounced words, he placed emphasis in the wrong places, disregarded punctuation in many places, and even mis-read many words - substituting simpler words in places, that were spelled similarly to the written words. The performance of the narrator here was inexcusable in my opinion.
