Great book- robotic audio

I feel guilty rating this so low, but the audio is truly terrible. The information is wonderful and helpful, but I kept trying to rush through it because of the robotic audio. I have many, many bookmarks with helpful information, but I would recommend reading a hardcover of this rather than audio.

Poorly written, stiffly narrated

The narrator's manner of reading is so stiff and jarring that the substance is mostly lost to me. The writing is also stiff and so academic and full of constant quotes and attributions as to make me wonder if he ever speaks to other humans or has an original thought. I've only continued listening because it is required for a class.
