I'm not sure this translates into audiobook so well. The subject matter requires some diagrammatic explanation, which is explained in the beginning of the book as being available in print and e-book, but not available here in any sort of appended PDF. The intro is laborious and tedious after a very bizarre and lengthy disclaimer.
The narrator is OK, but makes some rather amusing mistakes (primer=primmer, Marseilles=Marcels).
I stopped in the early chapters because I'm familiar enough with Greek philosophy to know that the way this was being presented was unnecessarily complex.
