Gawd awful listening.

Would you consider the audio edition of Primal Prescription: Surviving the 'Sick Care' Sinkhole to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version, but I intend to. This audio version is a disgrace to the content. Brad Kearns reads way to fast to allow me to absorb the content of what he is reading. Then he includes annoying .....chuckles. Everywhere! We are talking about health care in America today. Its not even remotely amusing. I couldn't take much of this. In fact, it got even worse as the book went on.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Primal Prescription: Surviving the 'Sick Care' Sinkhole?

The solutions offered for some of our basic health care issue today. But, like I stated, I could not absorb the valuable content so I am returning this audio version and buying the book. America desperately needs this book. Shame on you for casting this reader.

Excellent book, although I was unhappy with the narration.

This book was great! I love the way they structured the information. Everything led up to the conclusion, which was, take control of the situation yourself. I will read this book again to make notes on how to organize my own health care.
The narrator's frequent laughter, poor pausation, and inconsistent pronunciation was disturbing to the flow of thought. However, poor narration is better than no narration :-)

Great book, lousy narration

This is full of excellent, well written information on the primary illnesses of today's "health care" system. If highly recommend for any of my friends and family. However, the narrator was lousy. Constantly interjecting his own attitude into the information. If you can get past that, it's a great listen.

It's the government's fault

The authors do an excellent job distilling everything that has gone wrong in healthcare. The government broke it and can't fix it.

Love the book, hate the reader

Would you consider the audio edition of Primal Prescription: Surviving the 'Sick Care' Sinkhole to be better than the print version?

No. I was really looking forward to the audio book, so I could listen while I worked, but the narrator on this really does the book a disservice.

Who was your favorite character and why?

It's not really a character book, but I guess....Bob Murphy?

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Brad Kearns?

Anybody else. He couldn't even read the words right. It felt like he was making fun of the book the whole time.

Any additional comments?

I think this is an amazing book. I wish they would reupload it with someone else reading it. I could barely even listen to it.

Exactly what libertarians nees

If you are interested how the government screwed up healthcare and how Obamacare will make things worse, this book is for you.
The narrator is good and the content is really fascinating. My favorite part of this book though is that they give practical advice on how to take control of your health.

Not liking the narrator

Great material. I'll have to read it myself. This narrator gives a sarcastic laugh every few sentences and I don't want to hear it. Didn't finish this audiobook.

Great book, Terrible narration

This book has excellent content, and I highly recommend reading it, however the narrator for the audio version is really terrible.

The Narrator was Horrible

Honestly this book isn’t bad. But listening to this narrator killed it for me. I had to barrow the book and read it myself because of how unprofessional he sounds when reading. He sounds like a cynical snobby entitled jerk due to his timing of when a conservative statement is presented in the argument. I had my partner listen to an excerpt where you clearly hear this whining “tool” stifle a laugh. He went as far as listening to the book for a chapter and like me had to turn it off. I’ve never had an experience where the narrator was the reason why I couldn’t read through a book. I’m disappointed. The narrator should be a pleasant, pleasurable voice that is not biased or uses subtle tones in his voice when something he is reading is not to his liking. He should be reading the words in the book as they are written. Over all this is a unique look on the healthcare system that is written by the perspective of a doctor. This is unique because our country is facing a crisis and seeing all views, opinions, first hand experience, and options is essential to making future better decisions. This book has a healthy amount of information but do yourself a favor and read it yourself.
