Long winded, decent information

Revisado: 11-02-15

Would you listen to The Fine Print again? Why?

I would listen to specific chapters on tax law that I found interesting. David Johnson has solid information on the subject in most cases.

What aspect of Todd McLaren’s performance would you have changed?

He speaks without affliction or energy. He sounds the same saying something substantial as he does reiterating something for the 10th time.

What did you learn from The Fine Print that you would use in your daily life?

The book is designed to open your eyes, and when it comes to tax law it does in a sense. However its so heavily riddled with filler around these events that what could have been a very well written and informative 4 hour book became a 12 hour nightmare I struggled to finish.

Any additional comments?

I get it you want to shame corporations and drive home a point by calling out warren buffet's managers, I just don't agree with that approach being ethical. It's not that this book is bad, the information is just so trite, and the call to action at the end is far from anything new. Leaving a reader hopeless and frustrated. Recommend this to your angry father in law if you want to hear about it over the next 5 years at dinner parties.

Great book on cross functioning teams

Solid story with a decent narrator, the last chapter does a good job of breaking down the ideas again.

A 7 hour sales pitch "made for why, not how"

Revisado: 10-24-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I actually would, it was not a bad book by any stretch and I learned a fair bit. However I feel this book could be quickly cut down by 3 hours.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

This guy is super self-indulgent. I enjoy scrum and I love that he is passionate about his creation, but it's painful.

Which character – as performed by JJ Sutherland – was your favorite?

What a quickstart guide should be

Revisado: 10-23-15

Would you listen to LLC QuickStart Guide: The Simplified Beginner's Guide to Limited Liability Companies again? Why?

I would certainly listen to it for review, it is short. If I were to start a new business it would likely be an LLC and I would give this a listen again as a refresher.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Which scene was your favorite?

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There were explanations that caught me off, in a positive way. It's always exciting to hear how little you know. I run numerous LLCs myself and this book had me asking myself if I necessarily had to set them up the way I did. Later on thanking myself that I did.

Interesting read

Revisado: 10-17-15

Solid book, very different method that takes some practice but is very effective. Memorable to say the least.

A good salesman

Revisado: 08-13-15

This book can certainly be read in a few ways. Peter makes a great pitch about self motivation. Even if you don't believe in the mumbo jumbo of self-help business books without a market focus, his book has a number of lessons to learn reading between the lines.
