Could be Condensed
This feels like a really great essay that's been stretched into a book. The core principles are fascinating but could easily be summarised more succinctly. I couldn't understand the necessity to use three examples from published works for each topic, when one would have sufficed. There is one concession towards the end of the book that writing isn't 'painting by numbers' which seems at odds with the rest of the book's tone. The performance is terrible. You can hear where the narration was recorded at different times/rooms and I had to check that it wasn't text-to-speech software that had been used to narrate.
Overall I would probably have been better off studying Randy's website than sitting through three and a half hours of this audiobook.

I wanted to like this book
I choose to read this book, because it was a subject I wanted to learn more about, and I was attracted by the title. However, the person they chose to read the text, managed to make it sound like he was reading a phone book or a scientific journal. I kept putting the book down, as I just couldn't get past the reader's bland and almost disinterested voice... I'm sure a reader with a a vibrant voice that sounded like he or she was engaged with the task, would have encouraged me to listen to the end... I will keep trying, but maybe do it in short bursts...
