Performance is ruining excellent info

I'm a big fan of Sisson. He knows his stuff and he updates info as he learns more. My problem is with the performance. It's honestly TERRIBLE!

I've done this type of work. It's tough to do. Mr Kearns hasn't done his homework. He adds odd pauses, gets hung up mid-sentence, incorrectly pronounces common words, and- worst of all- adds an annoying chuckle to his voice at completely inappropriate times.

Mark Sisson's work deserves a much better presentation. I'm profoundly disappointed! Is Brad Kearns a friend of a friend at Primal, perhaps? I just can't understand how he was given this work.

Make 'and' now back to the text' a drinking game

I am shocked that this version was ever published. I have never witnessed so many complete distractions from the text from the reader's own commentary. The only time that is appropriate is when the author is the reader. you have to listen incredibly closely to ensure that you're getting what the author intended versus the reader's own commentary

Good content, very irritating narration

This is the first book I've listened to on Audible that I wished I had just purchased in hard copy instead. The narrator adds his own content, opinions and emphasis instead of just reading the book. It sounds more like a podcast than an audiobook.

A+ Content; F Narration

As a listener of an audiobook, you shouldn't have to guess when you're hearing the actual book vs when you're hearing the narrator editorializing. Unfortunately, that's required if you listen to this version.

Kearns sounds like a nice guy, but he mispronounces words regularly, inserts random pauses, peppers the narration with "uh"s, and adds awkward laughs to serious messages from the author. Just not high quality as you'd expect from everything else Sisson touches.

At first....

So at first the editorial comments the narrator threw in bugged me. Then, he states later in the book that the narrator is also a co-author. This made his comments make more sense to me and not just some narrator throwing in his two cents. Very informative book and easy to follow.

Mixed impressions

Loved the material. The narrator was sometimes annoying with his side comments. Overall worth the listen.

Amazing information but nails on a chalkboard

Life-changing information. Using this book I’ve gained more mental clarity and sustain energy but the narration is pretty rough. I didn’t know one could sound so condescending while reading a book.

I Love It

A very educational, including the occasional commentary from the narrator, "...and back to the book..."

this could be so good if not for the narator

the book is great, the narrator is incredibly unprofessional. I would recommend to buy the book, not the audioversion
he is constantly adding things, chuckling or just mainly sounds like a teenager reading a book

Great book, terrible reader

Title says it all, the guy reading this book is extremely distracted and constantly adds his own irrelevant input.
