Good performance of a clichéd story

Predictable, lacking tension, weak. The author gives away everything before he goes on to describe a character's feture-length backstory in a plain English style that leaves a lot to be desired. You will be rolling your eyes. However, the narrator does a lot to revive this with his appropriate emotional emphases.

Incredible content, average style

I loved everything that Mrs. Obama had to say. My only gripe is that she sounds bored half the time.

Excellent, and only hardly controversial

I found most points in this book to be easy to accept. The idea about depression increasing submissiveness to male suppression is admittedly a bit hard to swallow. For every point in the book, I wish there was more preemptive counterargument to prove why this is the only correct answer. However, as it stands Dr Garcia has certainly moved me further into the feminist camp.

Seth Andrews reads consistently well but it's hard to shake the image of him standing in front of the class and just reading an essay, which is technically what he's doing anyway but it was a bit dry.

This book will change your life

After reading this book, you get the sense that you haven't learned anything at all, because it all just seems so intuitive with Pinker's flawless deconstruction. You will never think of psychology the same way again, and you won't even know what hit you. It's too bad that this isn't required reading in high school health classes.
The worst thing about this auidobook is that the narrator is completely tone deaf. He reads each line of this psychology textbook as though it is an introduction for a professional wrestling match. At least he is consistent, so the cadence isn't so distracting after a while.

I have listened to this book three times and I swear I learn something new and amazing every time. Dawkins and Ward are also very easy to listen to.

Not bad, kind of boring after the last 3 books. Dotrice changed pronunciations of names, characters were conspicuously absent from the story.
