Where does Stock Market: How to Invest and Trade in the Stock Market Like a Pro rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Better. The voice is better and more engaging despite being a much longer book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

It's not a fiction, there are no characters. I supposed the only "character" is the author. He seems like he knows what he's talking about and is believable. Some parts are a little long winded but there's a lot of information to process here.

Have you listened to any of Joe Wosik’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. I assume well. He's better than the guy who did another of Johnson's books which I've listened to.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No. It's a dry subject that is meant to be informational. The subject is difficult to understand but the author breaks it down well as long as you have the patience to listen to it all. You'll want to take notes though.

Any additional comments?

It's a pretty long book and there's a lot of information so best read in sessions. I found the fact that the author clearly tells you this takes time refreshing because many stock market books promote a "get rich quick" mentality.

If you could sum up Real Estate Investing in three words, what would they be?

Concise, Understandable, Practical.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Real Estate Investing?

I like the part where the author challenges you to ask yourself questions about real estate to determine your knowledge and whether you're ready to make the jump. It uses introspection to decide if you've got what it takes right at the beginning rather than giving you all the information first so you're not wasting your time.

What about Dean Eby’s performance did you like?

His voice is very nasal and I found that annoying, but he reads clearly and without a lot of emotions so it fits the topic without making it seem overly dry.

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

Yes, it was pretty short so I didn't feel it needed to be split up. The information was also rather basic so it didn't need a lot of thought or notes.

Any additional comments?

There's information about rentals as well as flipping which is nice. A lot of investment books just focus on the former so this is wider in the knowledge it covers.
