Too dependent on companion PDF

What disappointed you about Agile Project Management for Dummies?

There is way too much reference to figures that are in the print edition, but are only included in the companion PDF of the audiobook. I don't mind occasional references, but there are a lot of these figures that are basic lists or cards that could just be read aloud. It gets the point that you lose a lot of context.

What was most disappointing about Mark C. Layton’s story?

I think the book is fine, but the presentation is pretty useless.

Informative, but incredibly dry and boring

"Here are the attributes of x:
One: blablabla
Two: blablabla
.
.
.
Fourteen d: blablabla
Fourteen e: blablabla.

For more information, refer to figure 2859 C in the PDF. For more about X, refer back to chapter 13."

Don't do this to yourself.

UGHH!

This just was not for me. I thought it would help me with project management but it just seemed like white noise. It was robotic and dry.

Very hard to listen to

I'm sure the physical copy is much better. This just didn't translate well to the audio book format.
