Very informational

Great audiobook. Very informational and presents very good questions to study for. Easy to listen to on faster speeds too. Highly recommend.

Awful jokes and narration

Has great information, almost too much at times, But full of awful jokes and terrible narration that take away from it's value.

The Chance to learn and review for a pilots license

First of all the narrator is very clear and her flow is very good. The best part about this review that after learning she gives questions but pauses to allow you to think about how you should answer and then answers. Very good review material.

Concise and thorough

Narrator did an excellent job of breaking down complex tasks into smaller, more manageable pieces. The tone and demeanor of the narrator was upbeat and optimistic.

It was done in the way that was very easy to understand

It went over more information than I expected. This was truly an excellent training device. I will look forward to more of these in the future. 

Nice audiobook version

No kidding, the day I got the paperback, I wondered if there was an audiobook version. Sure enough, it just came out THAT day. Great timing. The narrator reads at a pace consistent with kindergarten story time, so you may want to speed the playback up a little. But her reading is vibrant, and helps keep you engaged. Much better than many of the boring, monotone narrations I’ve heard. Overall, I enjoyed this.

Invaluable information but a horrid narration.

This book has invaluable information for pilots, but I defy not to cringe through every other line the narrator reviews. I have never heard a book outside of a kindergarten class read like this, why the narrator decided to make it an amusing funny book is beyond me. For this reason alone, I would recommend to skip it.

Drawn out and annoying

Although the information presented is useful, the presentation is lacking. The constant attempt to be witty by the author adds a lot of unnecessary fluff. The narrator's overemphases on certain words is annoying as well as all the pauses after questions makes the book entirely too long. Instead of the audible pauses, the listener could just pause to answer the question.
