Very cursory audible.

Does not even try to go in depth because the book is very cursory so you would need a great attention to understand the stuff.

Great and quick intro

It’s a great quick introduction to the most common Data Science for Business methods and the intuitions behind them. While not very detailed, it does a good job for what it sets out to do.

Great summary (3 hrs and 1 min)

This is a tremendous resource for anyone looking for a refresher or a basic introduction to machine learning from Data Science. The examples were easy to understand and the lessons are heavy on theory.

Unpretentious, clear, and highly informative.

I can understand why this audible is going so popular. This book is mostly machine learning under Data Science - no data engineering, munging, code (or math) here.

Useless

This book is useless; don’t waste your time. It gives the most basic explanation of the terms then gives random facts about some algorithms.

Convexing

This book was either way too high level in some chapters and in others very in-depth. To make this book usable to the reader, it should include a pdf copy of it or a powerpoint of the topics discussed. Reading a ML formula to me isn't going to help me in anyway.
