Acquired taste, if you're into strategising & analogies and metaphors to describe things and feel up to šŸ‘‚ tip, after tip, non-stop in each chapter this would be for you, there's some interesting parts, but, I lost interest at times, I think the E-book may be better as you can pause and soak in parts and go at your own pace, it took almost 1&1/2hours so, it's great if you're busy doing a lot of šŸ  work or something as you'll get through it all, the reader was easy to understand which is good. It just felt like listening to quote after quote, it's not a storyline throughout.

You guys that are complaining that it's not a story. It's because it's not supposed to be it's The Art Of War I can guarantee you every great militant mind in every country has read this book. That's because Sun Tzu was such a brilliant strategist. So you can thank this book for putting your great Generals, Coloniels, soldiers that have fought & died for your countries so you can sit here & be a critic...

Sadly, because of the automated recording, I couldn't even listen to it for 60 seconds! My brain just couldn't compute the words when read by an automated voice. šŸ˜’
