Wonderful book/ poor narration

Great and helpful book. However the narrator struggles with the reading. At times it is distracting.

Of Course This is A Classic

If you could sum up The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous (Including 12 Steps, Guides & Prayers ) in three words, what would they be?

Trusting God's Care.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

It wasn't a story. It's a textbook/bible for those struggling with alcoholism.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

He was monotonous.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

AA's program of recovery started in the early 20th Century, around the time of the depression. It started small and is world-wide. They are on to something.

Any additional comments?

The language of the book is archaic and some would say sexist. It does help to remember the generation in which it was written.

Don't rush to judgement

Several reviews refer to the Narrator's reading of this audio book in a cruel and ignorant way. Did anyone stop to think maybe this Narrator recorded this as a labor of love? Maybe he is an acholic, maybe his spouse or parent? Maybe he has lost someone he loves and wants to do everything he can to help prevent others from suffering a similar loss. Don't fixate on the reader; focus on the message. That is what's important.

Essential book for anyone in AA. Poor Narration

The narrator pauses a LOT and multiple times within a sentence. The volume also tends to spike at times. These two items make it very difficult for me to listen and comprehend the book

Good but repetitive

I honestly wish the practice and philosophy was expanded on more and less repetitional testimonies.
