The reader hired for this book is an older gentleman who reads in a way that is VERY easy to stop paying attention to without meaning to. I had to hit rewind several times every time I attempted to listen to this, whereas listening to other financial and investing books has been a breeze in comparison (I much prefer listening to One Up On Wallstreet, another book read by an older gentleman, but one with charisma, rather than one who has chosen an accent that one would read the news to).

I get audiobooks to save time- should have bought the physical copy of this book.
