"Lots of good information; hard to listen to"
The author's ideas are good ones, and he goes into a great deal of useful detail. A beginning writer would definitely get a lot of valuable information about what it means to write a book from this title.
That said, if you told me that the narrator was a robot, I would totally believe you. He has a halting and over-articulated style that I found distracting.3 of 3 people found this review helpful -

"Buy the book and skip this audio version."
Would you try another book from Bob Mayer and/or Martin Gollery?I would buy a book by Bob Mayer. I would never buy another book narrated by Martin Gollery!
Who was your favorite character and why?N/A
What didn’t you like about Martin Gollery’s performance?His his narration was delivered in absolute monotone; I was unable to discern any modulation in his voice at all.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?N/a
Any additional comments?The concepts outlined the book are great. However, the narrator is abysmal; his vocal appeal is nonexistent. This narrator's voice is reminiscent of a computer generated replication of the human voice. So how do I know the concepts presented in the book are great? I purchased the Kindle version so I could read it. Buy the book and skip this audio version.

"Excellent"
Did the narration match the pace of the story?Terrible narration, sounds like a robot- hated it. However, the content is so good it is worth dealing with.
Any additional comments?Really well written, thoroughly enjoyable and clear style. The writer has amazing credibility and has really been there. This has helped me enormously, a superb book.
