Bailed for the paperback

Revisado: 03-31-22

Aside from the audio book being Version 1 vs the newest paperback offering from 2021 (version 3), the performance of this audio book has made it impossible for me to carry on here. Great for the author perhaps -- I went out and purchased another copy (paperback), so his profits increase.

The fetish with accents (especially UK) is quite obvious when audio-booking academic work. Seems to be an otherwise harmless stupidity of US readers and publishers most of the time, but the gentleman here has a tough go of it. Emphasizing incorrect words more times than one could track. That's a little tricky to explain here, but it is immensely distracting and jarring to processing concepts.

Secondly, the production value is so poor it's evident that an overly restrictive budget or laziness was involved where neither is invited. Multiple, yes many multiple times, a sentence would begin, be flubbed, stop, and then be repeated correctly. Meaning, of course, editing was so overlooked that screw-ups weren't even deleted from final production.

Anyway, I'm annoyed, so I'm out.

Bought the paperback copy of the 3rd edition of the book and I'm enjoying it thus far.

Excellent on the subject of religion and weakness

Revisado: 08-26-19

Excellent book aside from the love for socialism and other detestable and intrusive political ideology that dances closes toward the religious that he so rightly deplores.
