Good content, bad narrator
I admire Richard Branson greatly and was looking forward to hearing his story. Disappointingly the narrator didn't inspire me one bit with a very odd rhythm to his reading often leaving vital information off the end of a sentence rendering it nonsensicle e.g. " My favourite time of day is evening. On Necker." as opposed to "My favourite time of day in evening on Necker" which I can only assume is what was written. His tone often adds an almost arrogant edge to RB's writing which I'm sure was not intended either...

Good book spoilt by bad narration
Sort it out Adrian.
it sounded like it was being read by a computer programme for most of the time. Very odd cadence and missing of beats.
I'm guessing it was a rush job done in one take. I may be wrong, but it made it hard to listen to at some points.
That aside it is a very good and insightful book.

Good entertainment plus some great tips for life
The book is great and the narrator is completely right for the part. You could think it was Richard Branson! I really enjoyed listening to it in the car to work

I have admired Richard Branson, now my admiration has gone sky high after reading this book.
What I like most is his foresight, there is just no fear factor once he has thought about something. His drive and his vision is something that I truly admires and wished that I too could possess this.
The book is insightful, it's enlightening and refreshing to listen to, and the thrill factor and Richards craving for adventure is scary but very exciting.
I loved the book and recommend it highly, especially to entrepreneurs.

Screw it! What a great book!
What made the experience of listening to Screw It, Let's Do It the most enjoyable?
The book is set out as a story rather than formal prose on how to become successful in business, as a result its much more compelling.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Richard Branson...of course. But he does also reference a number of influences in his life including his very understanding parents and wife.
What about Adrian Mulraney’s performance did you like?
The narrator was very easy to understand and did a good job. Its just a shame that RB himself didn't narrate. Although I sure he's far too busy for that.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I was very inspired by the central messages in the book. The main thing is to act on ideas, however good they are. Focus on the upsides as well as the downs. Have fun and realise that life is very short so you should enjoy it.
Any additional comments?
A great book, very inspirational. Definitely worth listening to every so often to keep up you motivation, especially during tough times.

Reader is monotone and just awful
Having listened to other Richard Branson books with Richard Branson reading, I was looking forward to this. Apart from the fact the content is very similar to previous books, the reader is awful, completely monotone.

Simply Brilliant
He doesn't blab on all about himself...which is refreshing. He talks about key life lessons in no-nonsense way. His writing just flows and the narration is good too. Buy it, you'll love it :)

Great tips on how to 'connect the dots' in busines
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this audiobook to anyway that runs a businessor is hesitating to start one. The story convays lots of hsnds-on experience and dows great to boost one's motivation.
What other book might you compare Screw It, Let's Do It to, and why?
Grant Cardone's 10X focuses more on motivation and performance, but I believe these books complement each other.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
I was stunned by the way Sir Branson solves the problems and never hesitates to ask, even very daring question '(and thus succeed in buying his dream island or starting an airline).
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The moment author ponders about the role of ''having fun' while doing business impressed me and changed the way I look on my business.

Loved this book. Branson is as good writer and narrator as he is a businessman. And this book showed me he has a great heart, too.
