ABSOLUTEY THE PERFECT BOOK

The spiraling of events will leave you crying, hoping, and petrified. I felt an immense amount of compassion and remorse for our protagonist. I could not set this book down!

Good listen

I listened to this twice and have to say. I learned more the second time. I even took notes. It is like a sermon about writing and publishing. Thanks to Bill Vincent for this FREE copy for an honest review.

Hard listen

The overall information contained in the book is decent but lacking overall. Narration is very hard to listen to.

Horrible narrator

I'm glad I didn't waste an entire credit on this audiobook but purchased it outright for the small amount I did although it wasn't even worth that small amount.

The information contained within is cursory at best.

The narration is terrible.
The narrator obviously is oblivious of punctuation and the required pauses between not only phrases and clauses but those reflective of breaks between sections of text.

This audiobook actually sounds like someone took a conversational speech, transcribed it (with no editing), then someone read the transcription aloud without proper inflections, pauses, or indications of punctuation.

What little information it might have contained was obscured by poor narration.

The Christian genre of anything creative always has a stigma of being sub par or even "corny". This audiobook furthers that presupposition by being just that; sub par and "corny". A shameful refection on Christianity.

It should have been faithful to it's tagline and remained a secret.
