Terrible music under reading

what is that terrible piano music behind the reader? I would love to review what this guy is saying but I cannot bloody here what the hell he's saying because the music that's playing in the background is so annoying .

who puts terrible old ridiculous annoying unnecessary music under the reading of anything? okay maybe in the beginning when you're doing a summary when you're getting into the piece but throughout the entirety of the hour I'm listening to bad piano that was written hundreds of years ago or at least sounds like it was written hundreds of years ago. but even if it was written yesterday who puts music under a bloody (Yes insert expletive of your choice here) book reading?

Excellent summary with some commentary

I took one star off for performance because of the music (it is unneeded) and the reading is too slow (but I sped it up 15% I the app and it was fine)

Worst experience ever

I got this because I wanted a modernized summary of Wealth of Nations that would make the classic text easier to understand.

What I got instead was:

- 50-minutes of someone reading passages from the book verbatim, with almost no summarization

The majority of this “summary” is word-for-word from the book without trying to make it easier to digest.

- terrible quality audio / speaking

There’s a loud piano playing throughout the book that makes it difficult to hear the speaker.

The speaker themself is clearly not recording this in a professional studio. They often pause randomly, and even repeat themselves verbatim.

Very disappointed with this purchase.
