The Best ML Book on Audible

Revisado: 07-20-24

This is the best machine learning book on Audible. It's well structured, clear and well balanced to suit beginners and provide value to those who already know a bit. Just one annoying thing, of all the words in the vocabulary the narrator struggles with the word "vocabulary" constantly mispronouncing it as "vocabloory", "vocbury", "vocablury", "vocaboolry and I found it quite distracting.

A bizarre narrator arrangement!

Revisado: 11-30-23

Two main characters, a man and a woman. Two narrators a man and a woman. What do they do? They make them do opposite gender voices. Unbelievable.

No PDF

Revisado: 08-24-23

A great book but the absence of a much needed PDF diminishes its practical use. The narrator keeps referencing figures you don't have access to.

A delightful experience!

Revisado: 01-20-23

This book was a joy to listen to from start to end and Stephen Fry's narration is spot on. Hoping they release the rest of the books in this style.

Shrill, Screechy, Unlistenable Narration

Revisado: 01-20-23

After Stephen Fry's soothing voice in the first book the cartoonish voices of this narrator grate on one's eardrums. The sample you hear may not contain the irritating parts. You've been warned.

Fun on Earth. Dull in Space.

Revisado: 11-22-18

Enjoyable right up to the departure time. The actual sci-fi plot quickly falls apart and dies on Mars, and with it all the entertainment and fun of this book.

Great Narrator. Dreadful Content. Avoid!

Revisado: 07-13-18

I've enjoyed great many many sci-fi classics, but this book did not age well. I struggled to keep listening and eventually gave up. It's a cringe fest.

Nothing "Guerrilla" About This Book

Revisado: 06-15-16

This is a really good guide to basic PR without a single instance actual guerrilla approach. Essentially, Levine mixed up words "cheap" and "guerrilla". He failed to bring up any significant digital PR opportunities, despite his attempt to stay in touch with the trends.

So the value you'll get from this book is:

1. Wisdom and perspective from a PR veteran.
2. Some low-budget PR tactics.
3. Occasional creative PR example.
4. Lots of useful, basic and common sense PR advice.

So close...

Revisado: 08-31-15

This book came very close to be one of my favourites but I just couldn't buy into the whole renewed cold war scenario. There are some pretty unreasonable hostilities in this book which don't build up or have a good explanation.

All males sound like cartoon characters.

Revisado: 06-17-15

Great book. Great idea. Great story. Two objections...

One: Male Characters

I wish Mary Robinette Kowal wouldn't attempt to do male voices and instead just read everything in her natural voice, which is quite pleasant and crisp. Males sound like cartoon characters, or idiots perhaps. I found it distracting and difficult to take the story seriously.

Two [Light Spoiler]: Emotional Impact

I am a hard science fiction fan and don't care much for character development for as long as there is a cohesive story with good amount of interesting ideas and technical background. That said, as a father, I found it difficult to understand how easily one of the main characters abandoned his kids. More importantly how can Neal Stephenson as a father himself write such shallow nonsense?
