    "Crush It?"
    By Saud (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) Feb 2, 2010
    It starts with promises of methods to start doing what you love, then goes on to become a redundant ramble about the benefits of having a personal website and the evils of corporate workplaces, which turned out to be difficult to swallow.

    I've never heard of this guy before, and his repetitive plugging of his work at Wine Library TV (and he mentions that A LOT) becomes extremely irritating halfway through.

    Also, the author/narrator is talking as if he's the obnoxious guy hanging out with the gang. If I had a penny for every time he said "Are you ready for this?" I'd easily have more than I paid for this purchase. I wanted an audiobook to listen to, not a guy who thinks he's cool telling the rest of us how we got it all wrong and he didn't.

    "Good book, but can't stand the author"
    By Roland (Wood Dale, IL, USA) Jan 22, 2010
    The message of the book is good, I just had a real problem with the author (since he read the book), he annoyed the heck out of me.

    "Crush It!"
    By Dan (Grand Blanc, MI, United States) Jan 14, 2010
    Gary brings to you an unbelievable amount of positive energy that you can't help but to get involved and get in gear, or simply get out of the business. He tells it like it is with no sugar coating. When you're done listening you'll want to listen again and again. There's a lot of information, good information, and sometimes you may feel the same information you can read in other books, but this is brought to you in a way that you will want to take action and not just say it was a good read. There's a lot of extras in the audio version that you won't want to miss. It's very personable and it makes you feel he's talking to you in the same room. This book is for everyone who wants more out of life, and not just for business owners who's trying to get ahead. Thanks Gary for sharing your experiences.

    "Authentic and Sincere"
    By Cecilia (Kingston, Ontario, Canada) Jan 6, 2010
    It is excellent and worth every penny. Authenticity is what makes it work. Yes...he knows his stuff and give good practical advice...but he comes across as someone who genuinely cares about his readers/listeners doing well.

    "Gary delivers!"
    By Martin (oil city, PA, USA) May 14, 2010
    I have the hard cover of this book, and ordered the audio to read along with it, and Gary gives his audible customers a treat by adding commentary, often straying from the text to inject little (and sometimes BIG) bonuses; it's like he's talking right to his fans! And the book is rich with information - worth several listens! Have your pen and paper ready, this one is worth taking notes on!

    "True Vaynerchuk"
    By Willie (Lafayette, LA, USA) Jan 8, 2010
    If you like Gary, you will like this book. If you have never heard of the guy, I recommend you check out Wine Library TV.

    Be aware. He is not the best reader in the world. He fumbles a bit, but I would not have wanted anyone else to narrate this book. It is his message and he was right to be the voice reading it.

    An honest and spot on take on the way Gary sees opportunities in the rapidly changing environment the internet has created. Thanks, Gary for all that you give.

    "Passion Articulated"
    By DefaultName (DefaultLocation) Jan 12, 2010
    THIS is how audiobooks should be. Gary frequently breaks away from reading to dive into side topics (which do actually add more value to buying this format) and conveys even more of how to realize your own passion and personal brand.

    The book itself is a concise and effective volume that you will refer to for inspiration and to trigger action for years to come.

    The audiobook has the Gary fairydust sprinkled all over it.
    While perhaps not technically the best reader in the world, his enthusiasm and passion for what he is reading shines throughout.

    If you do not own the book and have no idea who Gary V is, this is a great place to start.

    If you do own the book and/or watch Wine TV, I honestly think there's enough extra in this audiobook to warrant the additional purchase.

    The deviation from simply reading the book appealed the most to me. I hope other audiobook authors follow this example.

    "AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!"
    By Bryan (Pittsburgh, PA, USA) May 25, 2010
    This book is AWESOME! Gary gives some Valuable information + also keeps it real in the process. This isn't one of the boring audio CD's that go over the same type of information that is always re-hashed.

    This info is Valuable. He also talks about something for everyone. It doesn't matter if you like to do videos, write, or just talk. There's something for everybody. Everyone can CRUSH IT!

    Thanks Gary for taking the time to put this together!

    I actually bought the book and then had to buy the audio because I couldn't read fast enough. :)

    "Excellent book + even more than the paper version"
    By Adam (Lehigh Acres, FL, USA) Feb 24, 2010
    I loved this book. Gary tells you how it is, what to do and why to do it. There aren't any short cuts to success, but this is a great roadmap to get to where you want to by doing what you love.

    I originally got the hard cover version and it was nice to have because it had a checklist in the back. This was an amazing buy though because there are extra things in this version that aren't in the written version.

    "Awesome book very fun listening"
    By Ahmed (Pretoria, South Africa) Jan 21, 2010
    This book is awesome. Anyone who wants to break free from their mundane work routines and get involved in the digital age taking their business or passion online and succeeding should get this.

    Not only is it very informative the way it's read makes you want to listen to it. You know how most audio books are read straight off the script and tend to bore you so gotta rewind to listen to what you missed??? Well not this book

    The Author of the book is the person reading it and I lost count of how many times he went off the script just to give you extra tips on what he is talking about. Very refreshing
