Narrator needs to finish his sentences

Revisado: 11-21-17

Beginning of the book droned on a bit too much, repeating topics and points too often. It didn't move along fast enough. You think to yourself, yea I get it already. Middle to the end of the book is worth the listen. Author discusses how our society accepts and embraces a killing culture from TV to video games, etc. The Author/Narrator needs to "finish" his sentences. Every sentence ended in a whisper. I listened while driving and had to turn the volume way up so I could hear the last two words of every sentence. Trying to hear and understand was frustrating until I turned it up.

Narrator needs to slow down

Revisado: 08-17-17

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

subject matter was interesting. Very difficult to comprehend the subject matter because the narrator speaks too fast. annoying. Almost didn't listen to the whole book.

What did you like best about this story?

Subject matter was very interesting. Can't say I agree with all of it.

Would you be willing to try another one of Leslie James’s performances?

No. Tried listening at 3/4 speed but that was worse because it sounded like the narrator was stoned on pot. Audible needs to computer alter the narration by introducing small gaps/spaces between words to space out and slow down the read.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

NA

Any additional comments?

I work as a Manufacturing Engineer. and I can tell you the US will be in serious trouble within the next 10 years. There simply are not enough young people "in-the-pipeline" to replace babyboomer aged Toolmakers, Machinists, Engineers, etc. Our manufacturing will grind to a slow crawl. Robots can't do it all.

Great book - difficult listen

Revisado: 07-27-14

What did you like best about this story?

The book really opens your eyes to how corrupt Wall Street is and how the government supports crony capitalism. I have listened to David Stockman on the internet and he doesn't speak the way this book was written. It is almost like an editor or someone took David Stockman's real words and "spruced up" the language to make it seem more important. The problem is they went crazy with it. The editor should be ashamed to put such a good book into print like that.

can't listen to just once

Revisado: 05-28-13

What made the experience of listening to Man's Search for Meaning the most enjoyable?

This book you must listen to more than once. Listening to books does not allow a person the time to stop and think about a profound statement. So listening more than once allows these philosophical moments to "soak in". I've listened to this book 3 times and will listen to it several more times. Very good book.

Money Mischief

Revisado: 01-17-10

Excellent book for understanding money. I thought the audio quality was lacking though. I listen to books with an ipod plugged into my cars' sound system. There is just something about the recorded acoustics or how it was recorded that makes it very difficult to listen to in the car. I had to listen to it through my ipod and earplugs.
