Great content, but struggled with one narrator’s reading style

I am very grateful that this book has an audio companion. However, I very much struggled with one of the narrator’s reading style as it felt as if the content was being shouted at me. This isn’t to deter anybody from the book because it is brilliant. Hoping that if I am not the only one it will be re-recorded at some future point.

There was also at least one blooper like outtake in it, a few things were read several times, and the chapters are not titled.

Overall it was great. Thank you.

book content is great; narrator is awful

i have trouble understanding the editor listening to this narrator and deciding that she's a good choice ... i've listened to it for 15 minutes and can't take anymore


i rarely write a bad review about anything, but please listen to the sample before purchasing ... there's no way i can listen to her voice any longer so it's a wasted purchase 😕

Big Red Book Overviewed Wonderfully

By its very name, Big, this book can feel daunting to read in its entirety. But listened to, the themes become clear, the instructions fully outlined, and the caring in the program becomes apparent.
I listened to about 20 minutes a day. It seemed to go fast! Now that I have an overall perspective of the program, it seems simpler and more doable.
I highly recommend this audio book.

Life-changing!

My guess is the readers are volunteers, unpaid members of this healng 12 Step program. So I hesitate to criticize, but, hard to listen to.
The content, though, of this book continues to heal decades of unconscious pain for myself and many others.
