6 stars for performance!

Revisado: 06-12-23

Highly recommend this version of Jane Eyre.

This was my first time “reading” this book and I thoroughly enjoyed the story and performance. Some aspects of the story have not aged well, but this is to be expected of books written 70+ years ago.

Compelling and compassionate

Revisado: 06-10-23

After listening to The NY Times book review podcast about this book, I added it to my wishlist. I loved the book and recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about modern Irish history. The book is well researched and well written, in that the sorties come together. I found the first chapter the hardest in that it covered lots of material new to my ears. And then I settled in, Pausing the book to Google events or people I did not know.

Everything I needed

I found Vanessa on a Jane Austen podcast and wanted to hear more about her writing and processing. This book was everything I expected and needed. Thank you. Highly recommend.

Fabulously told stories with the glitter you’d expect

Revisado: 08-29-21

I adored this audible book! It was so fresh. The stories and images are going to stick with you for some time.
I will never be able to fly again without thinking of all the characters in the London to NYC story. We’ve met them before and I am sure will pop up again at the least sign of delay.
And Wouldn’t you all just love a Dairy Queen’s show ? With all the costumes and parties? (A different version of sex and the city)
Thank you James for sharing such a thoughtful and thought provoking work.

Loved this! Finished in 24 hours

Revisado: 12-08-19

I discovered Julie on her podcast Insiders Guide to the other Side. I loved the podcast so wanted to “read” her book. I loved that she read the book too. Once you start, you won’t be able to stop until you’re done. And like the other reviewers, I too want more stories.

Thank you for the incredible gift of a book. We used to have a Ron in our house too (even our guests noticed him) and someone showed us how to take control and get him to leave. We haven’t seen him since.

A Must “Listen” for Marketers

Revisado: 11-13-17

I️ just re-listened to this book. I️t is even better the second time. This should be mandatory reading for anyone who is in marketing or sales.

Doesn't work as an audiobook

Revisado: 03-11-12

What did you like best about A Guide to Coping with Difficult People at Work? What did you like least?

I think the author meant for you to find your situation and read that particular one. When you listen to many situations (mean people, tricky people, depressed people, loud people, etc.), 90% of the words sounds exactly the same. It seemed like there were only 2-3 sentences that were different between the various scenarios.

There didn't seem to be many stories. I have the book Coping with Difficult People (different author) and that one is filled with stories and interesting descriptions of your co-workers (snipers, sherman tanks, exploders, etc.)

There are 3 chapters in this audiobook. I have only listened to the first chapter and can do no more...

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Add some stories. The first chapter is just generalizations. and general advise about being respectful and careful in your communications. (examples would be helpful and make it less boring.)

Do you think A Guide to Coping with Difficult People at Work needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

no

Love the content but delivered too slooooow ...

Revisado: 02-22-12

Would you consider the audio edition of Thinking, Fast and Slow to be better than the print version?

No. I listend at 2x on my iPod; 4x speed probably would suit me best. Honestly, what do they tell the narrators before they begin? We can handle a faster reading pace. And those that can't, can slow it down to 1/2 pace on their iPods.

What did you like best about this story?

there are many interesting studies.

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator could read faster.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

n/a

Loved the book & story (not the narration)

Revisado: 12-03-11

What did you love best about Steve Jobs?

The book is great. (Check out some of the other comments and reviews.)

I agree with many of the reviewers who said that the narration is annoying. I listened at 2X speed which helped a little. Dylan couldn't figure out what words to emphasize so he emphasized and articulated every one. The tone was wrong everywhere ... I couldn't wait to finish the audiobook and return to something more pleasant for my ears. And now I am done! and can't wait to listen to some of my favorite podcasts (e.g. NYTimes Bits Tech Talk and Babbage from the Economist... now they do audio in a pleasing way).

For a book that says user experience at least 100 times, it is ironic that more care was not taken in choosing the narrator. This is a long book to have that kind of user experience.

Would you be willing to try another one of Dylan Baker’s performances?

never (sorry Dylan)

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

not possible
