Excellent read

Excellent deep dive into urban sniping, with many case studies. Well researched. It’s rare that I find a book that I can’t put down, this was one.

AI narration was unbearable

I don’t want to take anything away from the author—the book itself is excellent. It’s well researched, informative, and clearly the result of a lot of hard work.
Unfortunately, the AI narrator completely ruins the experience. The delivery is flat, unnatural, and distracting to the point that it’s difficult to stay engaged. I found myself turning it off repeatedly because it was so unpleasant to listen to.
It’s honestly a disservice to everyone who contributed to this book. A project of this quality deserves a competent human narrator, not a lifeless AI voice.
Fix the narration, and this is easily a 10/10. In its current state, it’s hard to recommend the audiobook at all.
