Repetative

Repeats multiple times, word for word. A reference guide to different books and available resources to read but not much information on its own.

Repetitive

While the audiobook was educational, it was highly repetitive and dry, almost like a Wiki or AI version. The introduction repeated itself 5 or 6 times. Each of the chapters are very much copy and paste. I did learn new things though!
