Broke it down so a novice can understand. Could have done without the gum.

It was an understandable, not boring intro to commodities trading that anyone can grasp. However there was a lot of noise in the background, like there were construction vehicles backing up outside the recording studio beeping. This was tolerable and changed, I guess, depending on the day time or place where recording was accomplished. However, my keen and irritable sense of hearing definitely heard the readers piece of gum that was present through the last couple chapters. Ew.

Honestly bad

This is the worst audio book I've purchased, especially on the subject of financial/ trading. The audio recording had quite a lot of background noise; construction sounds, change jingling, etc. Also, the information half-covered doesn't even reach that of many free YouTube videos on beginner trading.
