- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good information, but the narration is tedious. Listening at 1.2x speed is necessary just to make the reader sound like a normal person.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This is for the audio book. The narrator perhaps thought this was a children's book. The narration is very slow and sleepy and makes you go to bed.
