Repetitive and often contradictory and more about his business activities

There is little of Jack’s personal life other than what is readily obtainable from third party sources.

Terrible narrator

Even though I am very interested in Jack Ma's life story, I couldn't finish this book. The writing is average at best. The narrator is terrible, his tone quite irritating and aggressive and forceful, and he sometimes rushes over commas, which makes some of sentences very clumsy sounding and one has to think a bit to actually understand the sentence.

An interesting biography

Jack Ma .
An interesting biography of an Internet entrepreneur. Jack Ma is a unique individual.
The book itself contains quite a few pieces of inspirational information.
The downside of the book is the constant repeating of stories and information. eg the fact that he was the only one out of 24 that didn't get a job at KFC.
Because of this and the many other repeats the book could have been one hour shorter.
I received a free copy of this audio book at my own request and voluntarily leave this honest review. .
