Annoyingly Useless Book

This book is a speed session in what makes a good company. Cash flow, profits, stability, etc. D-U-H!. And what it totally lacks is how to identify a good company to buy -- how to determine whether the quality already is priced into the stock and what is the company's value?

To make matters worse, the narrator appeared to have no understanding of what he was reading. The number of grossly mispronounced words -- sometimes consistently mispronounced -- was astounding. The narrator seemed to be trying to compensate for his apparent lack of understanding by reading as fast as he could, making the experience one to try to forget.

Good book, mediocre reading

It’s a pretty good book, many good ideas, although it could have been somewhat better organized. The audio book format was poor in that it seemed hastily read, which made it unnecessarily difficult to follow at times, despite the content not being difficult. The reading emphasis was frequently off and there was mispronouncing due to apparent haste. IMO the audio should be redone. The book deserves better.

Too fast reading.

Reading was too fast for me.
Needed more tone variations.
Needed to get the feeling reader talking to me telling me something. Be more engaging.

Person reading speaks too fast and is boring

I think the information is good but couldn’t get past the speaker

Great book, terrible narration

Re-narrate this book. The narrator is too fast and mispronounces too many words. Thanks. Otherwise, great content.

Bons Conseils, Lecture Insupportable

La prononciation de cet homme est très irritant, qui rend la lecture difficile. Parfois il est un peu difficile à comprendre et l'anglais est ma langue native. En particulier, son emphase rend une thèse que je pense soit bien écrite banale et confuse.

Great book

Great insights on pitfalls and research. Would be very interested in a second edition too!
