Good Info, Terrible Narration

If you could sum up Manage Your Day-to-Day in three words, what would they be?

The narration in this sounds like Apple's "text-to-speech" from the early naughties. Terrible. Which is a shame because the book itself is good.

Good Book with Helpful Tips - Some Narration is Robotic

In general I found this book to be encouraging, helpful and informative.

My one criticism of this audio version is in the narration which consisted of two voices, male and female. I found the female vocal performance to be somewhat robotic with little or no expression. The gaps between words and sentences sound somewhat unnatural at times - almost like what one would hear on your car Sat-Nav in or the synthesised voice on your computer. I found this quite off putting and distracting.

Really good listen

I love the audiobook. The voices need to sound a little more natural though. It was clear and very informative. I loved the 99u books. Its just great.

not recommended

the main ideas repeated in another book. the book doesn't concentrate on one problem. therefore, no issue is really discussed in depth.

Highly repetitive and low value book

Everyone dreams of being an author... some people should just stick to dreaming it instead of putting something low value out there...

another blah blah blah book...

Poor and robotic narration .

Poor content - Robotic narration - should be used as a sleep aid - not worthy of purchase

could barely stand the robotic voices

Very difficult to listen to due to the unnatural voices. Generally, the content was OK, but I recognised almost everything was cherry-picked from books I have listened to previously (except much of the detail was missing). I would recommend listening to the authors that are referenced rather than this summary.
