excellent book

Very informative, very good real world examples of system design interviews, the narration of the ebook is good, the only thing is that being an artificial narration makes the voice too perfect, which caused me to get sleepy several times, there isn't that change of rhythm or emphasis that a human would give it.

Got the job at big tech

Listened to this book and purchased a physical copy to follow along. Helped tremendously and I got the job.

Very articulate and practical

The author covers a broad range of system design aspects and touches on technical details at a high as well as low level, including databases, queuing, algorithms, etc. Bot reader wasnt bad. It read at a cadences that for the most part wasnt a distraction
