Better to buy this book rather than listen

The subject matter is handled really well. Unfortunately the manner in which it is narrated is beyond irritation to the point where I can only listen to it in very small portions. It is over narrated in the extreme with emphasis on virtually every word. Considering the subject matter, it was an unnecessarily dramatic read. No compassion found - sorry! Love the subject though and will buy the book!
