Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I've been in videography as a business for over a year now and this book didn't bring me any new ideas. If you're absolutely new/green/starting out then yes this'll be useful to you. However if you're already in the field I'd not recommend this.

Has Don't Do What I Did put you off other books in this genre?

No

How could the performance have been better?

This guy's tone leaves much to be imagined. Its mono, lacks enthusiasm and its hard to work out when one chapter ends and another starts. Also he's not edited out mistakes - unless that was just my download that corrupted.... unless that was just my download that corrupted. Like that a few times.

Could you see Don't Do What I Did being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

Nope and Nopey McNopeface

Any additional comments?

It's great that he's gone to write a book and get his message out there. However a different voice artist would have gone a long way to give this some life.

If you're ABSOLUTELY NEW to videography then ok
