lacking any real information

The author doesn't give any real infromation about ghost hunting, he talks a lot about how to organize a good group of people to go ghost hunting, but then doesn't say a think about the actual ghost hunt and what should go on in one. I know the book is short, but seriously? Their is no substance what so ever. The narration was good, but that's the only thing. Don't waste your time/money.

Project Management in Ghost Hunting

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, approached as a basic fun scientific approach to ghost hunting. Has examples of how to write a ghost hunt Charter (the plan.) How to schedule the hunt (Gantt Chart) and how to utilize a Risk Matrix. Finally recycling the knowledge so the same mistakes don't repeat themselves in the Lessons Learned/Post Mortem. Its kind of a check-yourself, before you wreck-yourself approach.

Who was your favorite character and why?

No character

What about Chase Walker’s performance did you like?

If you like Sam Elliot's type of vocals then this is for you. I thought is was perfect for the material.

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

How to plan a ghost hunt. The front-end loading of the hunt.

Any additional comments?

This Book Put Me into an Audio Coma

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

This is like listening to some old geezer at a bar who's finally crossed the line into "one too many" and it's totally boring.

What could Dean Russell have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Had the thought to write this book. Killed that thought and written a totally other book.

Would you be willing to try another one of Chase Walker’s performances?

No.
