Great book...awful, awful, awful read.

I discovered this great book and spent a credit on the first option that came up. USE THE PREVIEWS, PEOPLE! There are much better "readers" available. I couldn't get through 5 minutes of this guy's read. 👎🏼

Bad reading but interesting information

The reading was halting and jerky. It lacked fluency. Almost unlistenable. Maybe it’s AI? The reader had a pleasant enough voice, but it was so jerky and halting. It just was very uncomfortable to listen to.

So many good financial principles!

I like how this book used parables to teach its financial principles. Most books just speak so plainly about that facts that it becomes boring and starts to put me to sleep. I found this book to be engaging because of the way the information was presented.

This is a classic

Everyone has to read this at least once if they are serious about finance principles—lots to apply to the modern world. The narration is a bit echoey. A bit of acoustics is a bit lively, but it's not unbearable. Shame as the narrator has a good voice.

Been wanting to read this book

I been having my eye on this book for a while and am glad I Finally got the chance to listen to it. This is a classic and everyone has to listen to this book once.
