ABAB

This book was great,
a really good read,
something I was looking for,
exactly what I need.
I'm going to take it to the head,
and follow the advice,
and maybe write a song or two,
which sound so very nice!

good but why are the chapters not labeled?

this is an audible original so the chapters should be labeled. other than that it's kind of short but a good place to start for the price.

paying attention

I love listening and learning. I've listened to it twice and I'll keep doing it. I learn something new each time. I'd recommend the narrator.
