This book covered a lot of topics. I was most interested in the rules and techniques, and when I was reading that part of the book, I was satisfied (I am a complete beginner). That was just a small portion of the book though. There is so much history and descriptions of different teams and competitions around the world. It is tough for the current events to stay current though. The book is looking forward to the 2014 World Cup.

My only complaint is about the narrator. Learn to pronounce people's names. Lionel Messi is an important enough player that you should learn how he pronounces his first name. Ian Harkes is not a household name, but it is an easy one to pronounce. I can see how Thierry Henry might be difficult, but I laughed out loud when I heard how that one was pronounced.

Good introduction for newbies, bad pronunciation

Narration is clear.

By itself, audio is I’ll suited for conveying complex information. With accompanying diagrams this is a useful resource, so be sure to download reference guide.

Not suitable for audio

Audible doesn't have a good book for understanding the laws of the game. This book is pretty useless if your interested in soccer and how the rules are applied.
