I couldn't finish it.

I'm going to have to buy the paper version of this because everything about it's audio book production was the worst I've ever heard. The narrator spoke in an unusual tempo that had strange pauses. The narrator also added in her own laughs to emphasize her interpretation that the author had disdain for Christianity and that the stories told in the bible were laughable. The coupe de grace was that edits were inserted at different volumes and sounded like computer generated speech in a voice mail tree.
Do yourself a favor and just buy the traditional version. The concepts, theories and social science observed by the author are more relevant now than ever before.

Couldn’t get past the preface
Revisado: 09-16-21
I gave it a shot. Couldn’t get past the lengthy sales pitch in the preface and false humility. It may be a great book but I’ll never know because the preface sucked the desire to listen further out of me. I’m sure this may be a great book for some people, just not for me.
