Great information. Virtual narration a bit off

Working in data, this book filled in some gaps for me on the formalities and best practices on data prep and cleaning, and I found the content very valuable. The virtual narration is not ideal and there appeared to be some re-reading of intro text in either chapter 8 or 9, and the coverage of certain things like explaining month/date/year formats, like "MMDDYYYY", was a bit awkward with the virtual narrator, but you could get the gist of what they were trying to convey.
