This book is so so important for every parent. I have it at home and first started reading it in it’s printed version. I was so intrigued and interested, and moved on to the audio book because of my lack of time to read. HOWEVER, I found the audio book simply impossible to follow!! The narration is so monotonous, boring, as if it was read by Siri and not a human being. So so boring, I found my mind drifting away every 2 minutes, unable to concentrate, unable to understand what is a headline, what is a text. Where are the important parts, where not. Awful awful awful. I’m only half way and considering switching back to the printed book because I feel like I’m missing the important messages in the book.

Great book, awful narration!
