Title: Audio Version: How to Destroy a Magnificent Book
Review: There is no contesting the value of this book as written. Unfortunately, Mr. Winik's skills do not extend to reading the book aloud.Mr. Winik reads his material at 78 RPM. He lacks diction, enunciation, and cadence. Every sentence is a challenge and a distraction. His multiple and misplaced emphases in each sentence comes straight from fifth grade. There is absolutely no consideration of the listening reader's desire to hear, grasp, absorb, and appreciate; there is no thought that the spoken word might have beauty and dignity. Why, why, is Mr. Winik the narrator? Is it ego or greed? Whatever it is, Mr. Winik, Please, Please, Never Do It Again.
