A fun and interesting listen

Loved it! A very nice way to create content awareness. When you're done with this, get the bard copy.

PDF needs to be updated and expanded

Pdf stopped at chapter 10. Pretty basic stuff in my humble opinion. I paid real money for an incomplete book.

Wonderful audio textbook!

Very valuable update on many popular algorithms used today in both Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. Some stuff I knew about, but most I didn't, so its a nice overview for me. If you do Python or R, even at the hobbyist level - this book may help close some of the gaps in the algo's that are used in those environments. I'm a big fan of audio delivery of this technical content! I suggest you get the Kindle version to read along with, as many formulas are not spoken in the audio version. I don't consider that bad either, because if they read those formulas, it could suck the life out of the audiobook. Well done audio-textbook on Manning's part

Worthless as an audio book

Without any visual material, this book is rather worthless, especially for someone who are unfamiliar to the topics being discussed.

Worked well when pdf backed up reading

The accompanying pdf stops part way through chapter 10. Made it hard to follow discussion of graphs I cannot see.
