Great!

This is a great guide for men. I wish they would actually listen to it or read it. The female narrator’s reading is annoying at times. But overall a good listen!

Decent but nothing interesting

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

Too much fluff. Boring stuff. The religious references are strange and out of place.

Very insightful

With down to earth and straightforward language, this book really is a book for the dudes. With the exception of a couple out-of-touch remarks about millennials, all the content was useful.

The female narrator had a bit too much dramatic flair, almost like she was trying to sell the advice. For something so down to earth it felt out of place BUT it did stick in the noggin.

story is good but female audio killed it

I enjoyed the audio book and made it quite of the way through until the female voice started in. I literally couldn't take listening any more and just stopped the book half way through. fix that part and you got yourself a solid read.

Great Book and Information

I really enjoyed the book and the information. I enjoyed the male reader but the female reader was a little dramatic for me.

Great parts, less than half though

Contains great help, but contains mostly long paets that are not really that helpful. Worth to hear only while doing something else.

A decent amount of information.

The readers do a great job of helping bring the content alive. I wish it felt more about marriage than religious conversion but nonetheless it was a good listen.
