Not as good as the YouTube channel

I enjoyed the book and figure anyone else who enjoys learning the meaning behind words they use every day will enjoy it; however, I found it annoyingly cheeky with a lot of filler compentary. Narrator was good, though I'd have preferred the author. I'll read the sequal too, but I think I prefer the content delivery on the YouTube channel.
