I found the reader believable

One reader said that the reader was "careless". I found him to be believable. To me his voice embodied the voice of the 1940s alcoholic who was once self centered and ego driven. Somehow across the decades he is now sharing how he became willing to accept his powerlessness over alcohol and the steps he took...

The message is timeless and I am grateful to have the "big book" on audio -

This book has helped myself and my Husband so much

What did you love best about Alcoholics Anonymous - Big Book - Original Edition?

We have been sober for over 15 years. We have been familiar with the big book, but we are not very good about reading. We have learned so much about ourselves from listening to this book. He follows along with the book he has had for years. He listens to it over and over. There is so much that he missed over the years when we did not have the audio version. I recommend this book if you struggle with alcohol or are close to someone who does. You will be able to identify with the stories in the book I am sure. We recommend it to anyone who perfers to listen instead of reading.

Important book, Careless reader

Nice to see the Big Book in audio format, but I was disappointed with the reading.

What did you like best about Alcoholics Anonymous - Big Book - Original Edition? What did you like least?

Great book, terrible narration. Filled with errors.

Would you be willing to try another book from BN Publishing? Why or why not?

No.

What aspect of Jason McCoy???s performance would you have changed?

The guy needs to learn how to read. An absolutely abysmal job.

Any additional comments?

There are so many errors in the narration of this book, a new version should be released.

Amazing

This book and process saved my life. Follow it and you can achieve just about everything!

very informative

Great insight to the alcoholic . Understanding this sickness is not the only insight to be gain from this book. I think we can all see a little ourselves in one way or another.

Recording needs work

The book is nearly a century old so there are going to be issues with vocabulary and sexism just due to time period. This recording, however, really needs work.

AA as a Religion

Coming from a person who does not drink and have no history of Alcoholism, I found the Big Book to be interesting because we all know someone that always have a few too many. After reading this book, I now understand why people go to meetings and talk about their addiction openly.

AA is a religion that someone practice to find the truth and to keep on the path of sobriety.

Unlike Christianity and other religions, Alcoholics Anonymous have more devoted followers, because it is a lifestyle that one choose to keep and they more dedicated in trying to remain clean, by going to meetings, than paying tithes to a church. Most people who concur their addictions, wants to sponsor others to defeat their battles and making a lifelong friendship with a common ground.

On a personal note, I have friends that attend meetings on a weekly or daily bases and because of them, I wanted to know more about the Big Book. If you are reading this book and don't have a drinking problem, read this book as many short stories on one main theme.

The narrator is pretty bad. He seems like a telemarketer or an auctioneer, talking very loud in your ears.
