THIS IS NOT THE BOOK
I’m not pleased. I wasted a credit on what I thought was the book. This is nothing more than a discussion of the book.

Lack of book
The views and background of the various speakers about the book was interesting, but I wanted to listen to the book itself.

Great discussion.
Interesting and intelligent and discussion about this book. The only flaw was the audio was poor when listening to questions from the audience.
