found the narrator very hard yo listen to, although a love the subject listening was to much of a strain.

not for me ....

First of all, relevant to mention what audible doesn't: this is not a book in the sequential way to think of it; it's actually a collection of essays and articles mounted into a "book".

Second, the content is great if one is interested in the dilemma of time: I particularly found some chapters interesting and some I ended by skipping, hence my mid-range rate.

Obviously, as being a collection, I found repetition often bothering, though admit that listening to different explanations of same thing is somewhat enriching as well.

(lack of) description is misleading...

Because these essays were written at different times by different people but describing the same subject, they often use the same examples, which when listened to all at once can be a bit repetitive. Otherwise it's interesting and each on it's own is well written.

Quite a bit of repetition...
