Fast spoken narration

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2018

I really enjoyed the content and subject of the book. However, Mr Rigsby's narration was a bit hurried, spoken fast, with barely a pause between paragraphs much less chapters. This would be understandable, as most people are not accustomed to reading an entire book aloud much less recording an audiobook. Normally, I have to increase narration speed on most audiobooks, but with this one, I had to slow it down. Even then, there were very few pauses or breaks in his narration. I had read and listen at the same time, or just read without the audio. I would have enjoyed the audio so much more if the author's narrationhad been more natural and relaxed.

Good Message in a Long Sermon

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2018

I liked the message, but feel it could’ve been delivered in one chapter. And I tend to disagree with the premise that young people, today, are as selfish and disillusioned as the author my think.

Just watch the Uni commencement speech.

Well that was disappointing. He gave the most inspirational speech and I thought the book the speech was based on would be great, but it’s just not the same. Maybe he’s developed his speech a bit since the book came out, but I truly did not get the same engagement like I did hearing him speak and the points he put across in his speech. I knew he was a Minister, so it could be overly religious, but again it wasn’t the same as the speech he gave that he’s famous for. I’m disappointed because I’ve wanted to read this book for ages and it just didn’t live up to my expectations. It’s a really short book, and yet I struggled to get through it. It was like being preached at at church. I get taking wisdoms from elders, but they don’t all have the best track record. It just wasn’t for me. I really wish I hadn’t bought the book and just stuck to his speech on YouTube. I also found it very American, and didn’t understand any of the references he uses because I don’t know any of the American people listed. It was really hard to connect with what he was saying. There are some good points and some good quotes used that I will take away, but again I think I will get my wisdom from his Uni commencement speech
