"A decent time killer, editing bobbles are a bonus"
I've heard better. Although I'm not a seasoned book reader / listener, this book was not on the top of the list as far a "hearability." At times it was hard to follow the reader. It sometimes was her accent, or the voice she was reading it in, but I would have to go back and review the last 30 sec to make sure I was on track.
It moves along without leaving you staring off into space, and kept my interest high for the most part.
Several times I heard the voice tallent re-read a section, which is something that the editors should have caught.
"Research just a little before buying this book"
I read it (listened), and loved it. It said what I wanted to hear, and I reccomended it to friends, and family. Then I started doing some research on the author. It took me about one 10th of the time to find out that this book should be in the fiction section. I will be wealthy one day, but not because of this book and/or this author.
It's kinda funny that he talks about education, when just a little education would make you not buy this.
