good stuff, poor narrating
The narrator of this (audiobook) can turn any masterpiece into total junk. He sounds like Ben Stein on Valium. The Science of Getting Rich, also, is mostly a bunch of rehashed baloney.
Good Inspiration material
I don't often rate items here on Amazon but I felt it necessary after reading some of the reviews here. A number of critics have blasted the recording because of the "boring narrator." Which narrator are you talking about? The one that reads the first 2 books or the other 3 narrators? I am only on book 7 (out of 8) but so far there seems to be a total of 4 narrators.
It seems obvious that the critics never got past the first 2 books. Furthermore, I found his voice pleasant enough and did not feel as if I was being put to sleep. These books are classics with a lot of heady ideas. Personally I feel that some people are just not ready to accept these ideas and so thier minds rebel and force them to do things like go to sleep...
