Not suitable as an audiobook.

This book reads like a textbook rather than a story. It is broken down into numbered lists and sub lists e.g. "Section 4a" and I found it very hard to follow. The book also makes excessive use of the word etcetera to the point that you can tell when they're going to use it and speak along in unison.

The content feels very dated. They make a point that you "should" start thinking about getting on this new thing called The Internet and they have to spell out what IT stands for.

Worst of all the book culminates in a sales pitch about how good the (paid for) six disciplines software is, yet it sounds like a sub-par version of Trello (which is free by the way).

I regret wasting my monthly audible credit on this book and I wish I could get my 4 hours back. I call shenanigans on all of the 5 star reviews this book has received.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
