Coffee table book-not good for Audible

This book is not good for Audible unless you are truly hearing impaired. There are clearly many images being described and the reading goes through the book through all the related descriptions in line with the main chapter writings. As such, it is oddly repetitive and often times disjointed. It lacks linear progression through the respective religions making it very difficult to follow. I can see where this would be a good book to read hard copy, but it doesn't translate well to Audible.
