A direct and honest approach for Libertarian answe

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, if they wanted to know more about the Libertarian ideals, as I did.

What did you like best about this story?

The question and answer format works in terms of organizing the vast material (from animal rights to gun control and every issue in between.) The narrator, too, was an asset to the material.

What about Marie Rose’s performance did you like?

Her voice. Intelligent and warm. Her narration flows excellently with a smile in her tone. It's arresting to listen to and I never got tired of it.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, I listened in sections, on my morning commute.

Any additional comments?

A well done audiobook and I learned a lot. I didn't agree with all in it but I could see the reasonable theory behind almost all of the issue as discussed in the book. I'm glad I got it - it widened my understanding about what the word "Libertarian" really means.

Nice book. Tough narration.

I purchased this book to explore libertarian thought. Because this is basically an audiobook of questions and answers from a forum type post the content is short and sometimes repetitive. I felt it gave me a lot of food for thought though so I did not regret the purchase.

About the narrator: I feel that this is a tough format to narrate well. However, for the first several minutes I seriously thought Microsoft Sally was reading this book. Considering this is back-and-forth questions and answers it also might of been helpful to have a male voice read the questions and a female voice read the answers. Or have the narrator use different voices for the question and the answer.

The "Good Neighbor" Philosophy

Would you consider the audio edition of Short Answers to the Tough Questions: How to Answer the Questions Libertarians Are Often Asked to be better than the print version?

Probably, because I don't have the print version. It was easy and pleasant to listen to, though. In fact, it was a very enjoyable "read" (listen)-the writer definitely put forth a powerful argument on the benefits of Libertarianism! The only part that was a stretch for me were the answers on Fascism and Terrorism-I think they might be a bit unrealistic

What other book might you compare Short Answers to the Tough Questions: How to Answer the Questions Libertarians Are Often Asked to and why?

I'm not sure, as this was a one-of-a-kind book!

Have you listened to any of Marie Rose’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No-this was my first
