Unlistenable

I was so keen to enjoy this book, but the narration is simply unlistenable. Please remove this book, and then pretty please have someone else read it.

Robotic Speed reader.

While I loved the individual stories, the delivery was distracting. It is crazy to me that a book on Music production was very poorly produced. Auctioneer like speed reading that stutters frequently is hard to listen to this book. However, it is better that listening to the lawnmower roaring.
