Terrible Narration

The narration is absolutely terrible. The narrator does not know the context of what is being narrated, is robotic, pauses frequently in odd places, and has inflections that do not match the content. It is very very difficult to understand what is trying to be communicated. For a book about how to bring value to the customer this totally missed the mark in this audio book. I highly suggest that you read the actual book rather than listening to this version.
