Should have been a blog post, not a book

You could fit all the valuable content from this book onto a single sheet of toilet paper - written in poo, with your fingertip.

Unfortunately, the author pads this out with piles of impenetrable corporate American buzzwordery, and then repeats the same half dozen phrases over and over and over for what feels like several thousand pages. What value exists is good advice, don't get me wrong. But there isn't nearly enough of it to justify an entire book.

This reminds me of that scene in The Shining, where the guy's wife discovers that he's been typing the same sentence over and over for reams and reams of paper. That's what this book is like.

"All jargon and no actual content makes Jeanne a repetitive writer. All jargon and no actual content makes Jeanne a repetitive writer. All jargon and no actual content makes Jeanne a repetitive writer. All jargon and no actual content makes Jeanne a repetitive writer. All jargon and no actual content makes Jeanne a repetitive writer. All jargon and no actual content makes Jeanne a repetitive writer. All jargon and no actual content makes Jeanne a repetitive writer..."

Combine this with a narrator whose high-pitched nasally whine that makes you want to throw up and this is a winner.

Lacks insight, but not repetition!

Any additional comments?

The author shares a few obvious observations in the first couple chapters and then proceeds to repeat them for the rest of the book. Yes, prioritizing the needs and opinions of customers once was a novel concept... but that was over a century ago when the term "the customer is always right" was coined. Of course companies don't always take a customer-centric approach, which would have been a more effective way to frame the problem.

There are a few interesting ideas that will get you to think, but expect repetition and to constantly roll your eyes as you listen.

Could not finish

Great book and great content but could not finish due to the absolutely miserable narrator. Was that a robot or a person? Literally every sentence was painful. Such a shame.

Get the printed book, too

This book is incredibly valuable for grasping the executive's perspective on customer experience. I would definitely recommend this book to experience designers who sometimes don't have access or insights into how their work might be viewed at the upper levels of their organizations.

Note on the performace: This has to be the single toughest audiobook reading project ever. The reason is that the book has a fairly complex structure -- more like a magazine or textbook -- with sidebars, lists, and regularly occurring sections. The reader had to convey this structure mainly with timing. Once you catch on to the structure, the book makes sense, but it might take a chapter or two. It might be helpful to get the printed book, too, so you can see what's going on in the reading.

Couldn't listen past the intro - bad performance

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Hire a voice actor to read the book (or a better one)

What didn’t you like about Christine Marshall’s performance?

S'ssssss and a strange cadence. Emphasizing words that shouldn't be.

Any additional comments?

I heard the author being interviewed on the Marketing Book podcast. I liked what she had to say and wanted to hear this book, but I just couldn't take the performance. I'll read the book instead.The three-star ratings above really have no bearing on those two metrics because I didn't listen to the entire book.
