Not a good application for an audio book Bvus This is a review of the audio book.A good portion of the audiobook is the author reading formatted lists. It isn't easy to understand and got quite monotonous. The small percentage of the audiobook that was narrative in nature was fun and interesting. It might have been interesting to skim the lists in printed form, but it was mind numbing as an audiobook.. The lists were the best part but avoided saying anything negative The lists were the best part but avoided saying anything negative.
