great book

Revisado: 08-02-22

The book is Way too short. I mean, when it ends you'll find yourself thinking...'Is that it?'. Nevertheless, what is there is useful.

not what I was looking for

Revisado: 06-28-22

My impression is that the entire book is a preface to the book. It started out well with a story about a salesman in Paris selling cologne who told an indelible story that got her husband hooked and wanting to buy. Great! This is what I had in mind. But then she seems to tell anecdotes about old commercials and with every anecdote she says the words "Why was this so effective? Because of Story telling." and she's right, but I know that already, that's why I bought the book. So what I'm getting at here is that her book seems more designed to convince you that story telling is the key to sales. But if you know this and you don't need further convincing but what you are looking for is a how to of storytelling than this ain't it.

I'm enjoying it

Revisado: 03-30-22

The book is performed by a narrator that is over the top so you have to laugh at the absurdity of it. It also has a hypnotic quality to it that feels like it is reprograming your brain subliminally. Even if it isn't actually doing anything that nefarious there are 5,000 tidbits of wisdom and or bullshit inundating your ear canals and every once in awhile something will strike a chord. With most books there is buildup in a narrative that eventually makes a point. This one just makes points, then a pause, then another point. That's how it is read. If you're looking for a story this certainly doesn't have it, but it is nevertheless entertaining.

Highly abridged

Revisado: 01-27-22

Great motivational stuff. But I usually read the books as well and this is a pretty thick book. This audio book only contains maybe the first 25% of the book. So there isn't anything wrong with the content of the recording but I might recommend reading the book if you want the full story.

Great story

Revisado: 09-25-17

This is a great book which I have read enough times that I don't remember. I think that Long John Silver is amongst the best characters ever contrived. The reader of this book obviously takes pleasure in the reading; however, a couple of his characterizations sounded indiscernible from one another. He did a fine job with the others.

Abridged version

Revisado: 09-03-17

Looking back at the description I don't see anything that indicated that this was an abridged version of the book. Maybe it is there and I just missed it. I suppose I should have ascertained this by its short length. I listened to the sample in order to find a voice that was the least annoying for me and this one won in that regard. But yea, had I known that it would be leaving out so much of the stuff that separates the book from the movie I wouldn't have bought it. This book seems to run parallel to the movie. I can't stress that point enough. Don't expect any more details from this than you saw in the movie.
