Better than expected...

At first you wonder: a) how will they do an audio edition of a book so hea I'll dependent on pictures and diagrams (I own the hardcopy too,) and b) is the author's voice going to stay stoned and monotone.

The answers are: a) they do a pretty good job of explaining things in a way that at least I (someone with prior building and carpentry experience) can understand (although better when referencing the diagrams of pics in the hardcopy or Kindle editions of the book,) and b) the narrator does eventually develop some inflection in his voice. it's not the material that's boring - it's just he's trying to make points of certain topics, and therefore ends up well pacing his read.

overall good book. The less experience you have with tools and carpentry, the more I suggest purchasing the Kindle or hardcopy editions for visual reference to the audio guide.

Comprehensive down to the basics

This book is definitely very basic, and covers everything from which end of a hammer to hold all the way through the framing walls. some areas from more helpful than others but it's easy to fast forward and the contents are clearly documented she can jump to wherever makes sense.
