- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5While the book and content is a great resource for beginners and recommended, the publisher should have done a better job of choosing a narrator that was familiar with the subject and pronunciations. I couldn't finish listening to the audiobook due to these inaccuracies, I give reading the book 5 stars, listening to it is 2 stars. Please do this author justice and re-record this w/ voice talent that is a better fit to the content!
