Important book!

This is an important book to listen/read. For the audible version I can’t get the audio speed to sound correct - I don’t think it’s supposed to be as slow as it plays as almost double speed seems better. Still worth listening to this book

Surprisingly well-written, but bad narrator

When I saw that Jack Bogle had written a book on story of founding Vanguard Group and his career I thought 'great, another wise ass who thinks he can write.' I'll say, though, that he's a surprisingly good writer. His language is simple where it needs to be and intimate where it's allowed. It feels easy to relate to. The narrator doesn't interpret this very well at all, however.
As far as the actual content goes, this book is very informative. Jack Bogle deserves generous respect as a leader and investment manager and there is so much to be learned from him.

excellent!

This was absolutely totally excellent! A must read for anyone looking for guidance in the stock market.
