excellent book, bad narrator choice

This book was everything it promised to be, and I learned a lot from it. However, I had to turn the volume way down because I felt like I was being shouted at. The narrator reads everything like he's a radio or TV announcer, overdramatizing every word and enunciating like it's breaking news. I found his narration style extremely distracting and off-putting. Someone quieter and more soft spoken would have been a much better choice.

Content Good, Performance Doesn't Match

Enjoyed the book, but the performance doesn't match the calm, safe feel of the book. It was actually tough to read because of it.
