Audio Quality Horrific

What disappointed you about Moats?

Overall, the book was just OK. Quite repetitive, and once you heard about 2-3 companies, everything was the same.

Biggest complaint though was the audio quality. It sounded like it was recorded in some guy's basement. COUNTLESS mispronunciations, and grammatical mistakes. The guy messed up so many times, it made it nearly impossible to listen. There were major errors and gaps in the audio where the reader made a mistake, but no one ever edited it out. By far the lowest quality audio I have ever heard on Audible.

Shallow understanding

Author has simply listed out the investments. Very little in depth analysis. Reader is mechanical.

Very little about actual "Moats"

In my opinion plenty of technical, statistical, superficial information of which very little has to do with "moats". But it appears a lot of effort was invested in writing of this material.
