I could not make it through this one, because the recording with a poor quality, and they had some kind of ridiculous music playing behind the entire time

Impossible to listen to

Distracting and unpleasant music perpetually plays over the reader .. I couldn't concentrate on the actual content. Maybe it wouldn't bother others but this recording was entirely useless for me.

Worthless

Following along with the text, this guy is interpreting and making it up as he goes along. The background music is weird but not faithfully reading the text should eliminate this ‘book’ from Audible.

This should be taken down and destroyed

If you can imagine a reader whose performance is more stilted than a bad LibriVox narrator AND a video game soundtrack playing behind MARTIN BUBER'S I AND THOU, that is exactly the sacrilege you will hear here. Absolutely unbelievable...by far the worst recording I've ever heard on Audible. It should be deleted and the reader should be barred from posting anything else.

(The narrator claims it's the hardest text he's ever read, so watch out for anything else he's done and click away quickly. To the narrator: please do not ever record a book again.)

Very Dense

I read this first in college, fifty years ago and understood very little of it, even with the help of an excellent professor. Now I have forced myself to read it again, feeling I must not be paying attention well enough, and I have come to the same conclusion, the book is not readable, it must be studied and dissected line-by-line or word-by-word. I have never experienced anything so dense with esoteric meaning. Beware the faint of heart. P.S. I still do not understand most of it and at my age, I do not have the time to devote to a third reading.
