Excellent book, amateur narration

I really enjoyed the contents of this book. It was informative, motivating and entertaining. I can recommend the printed book.

However, the narration left a lot to be desired. Using a male narrator for feminine thoughts felt awkward. The male narrator had a nice voice, but there was no editing and error correction. He mispronounced words (for example: "decor" as DEEcor instead of DAYcor,) stopped sentences and started them over, inserted awkward gaps between the words of sentences, repeated whole paragraphs, and even repeated a whole section. He referenced "the chart below" but there was no accompanying PDF. I couldn't tell if he read its contents or moved on to something else.

The author should do her book a favor by having the recording properly edited or done over.
