This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I think this book may be tailored towards the younger generations (I am thirty) It focuses a lot on social media and how to behave in a manipulative fashion to obtain a desired outcome. Anyone with any substance or life experience knows that this approach will never prevail.

What do you think your next listen will be?

The Psychology of Human Behaviour

How did the narrator detract from the book?

obviously a LOT younger than the actual writer of the book - I found this detracted from the book because it gave the impression he was not speaking from personal experience. Also - People don’t want to be given relationship advice from someone who sounds fifteen!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Little scientific backing cited and largely subjective generalisations. However, Chapter 14 onwards is a preview on a new book by the same author about verbal and emotional abuse in relationships - this very short preview offers possible explanations behind personality disorders (including NPD) which I think would have been a welcome addition to this title.

Has Help! I'm in Love with a Narcissist turned you off from other books in this genre?

no

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narration is overly dramatic and this trivialises the subject matter. The narrator doesn’t seem emotionally invested in the book and this detachment to the content shows through incongruent intonation etc. He sounds a lot like a television news broadcaster.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Help! I'm in Love with a Narcissist?

The first three chapters - disclaimers are tedious and lengthy.

Any additional comments?

Offers little advice regarding a solution except ‘leave the relationship.’ or in the case that the reader themselves is a narcissist, simply ’Stop being a narcissist!’ which I found hilarious, if nothing else! No detail on how this can be achieved. People who are in love with narcissists know they should leave - it’s actually doing it that is the difficult thing.
