It's All About the Pacing

Revisado: 07-26-16

Would you listen to another book narrated by Nadia May?

Yes.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Definitely not.

Any additional comments?

The problem I had with this reading was with the pacing of the presentation. When philosophical concepts are being presented in a book, especially so in a book being read and listened to aloud, many times it is necessary for the listener to take a moment or two to pause to digest what he has just heard. A work of philosophy cannot be read at the same pace as can be read (say) a page-turner novel.

And therein lay the difficulty I had with listening to this presentation. It was a bit like riding through a museum on a bicycle. It was an otherwise excellent recitation read too quickly. I would have liked for the work to have been read a bit more slowly with longer pauses between paragraphs. I realize that what I have just said could be said about any work that requires a bit of intellectual heavy lifting to be properly comprehended . . . but there you have it.

Fortunately, my listening device came equipped with a pause and rewind button.
