Not good for an audio book

Not good as an audio book ... no flow and just basic reading ... read title then say the words ... really poor reading performance made it hard to follow ... content seemed pretty good but was difficult to follow ... probably better in paper. As an engineer I followed the concepts and some of the analogies were good but this ain’t for your granny unless she is Grace Hopper

Useful audiobook

This is my first audiobook which I find useful for technical learning. Content has been to the point which makes it more effective. I would recommend this for someone who is interested in machine learning.

Machine reading!!

I have a huge problem to listen to this artificial lector. Usually I don't pay attention to reading quality, but this is really annoying me. Story is o.k but I don't think that audiobook is a good format for this as often you have to rewind some paragraphs to understand.

Badly produced waste of an audible credit

The audiobook starts over from the beginning half way through, the material was poorly adapted to audio format, and the narrator sounds like he thinks he's voicing a thriller movie trailer. Don't bother.

It repeats many parts of the book

Seems read by a machine (which probably is), with many repeated parts. The equations were read in a way in which I couldn't understand anything. I'm happy I got it for free...
