Free, but still not worth it

I read this front to back, and was extremely disappointed. I was looking to gain a few tips on how to approach people and be friendly, but all this book did from the beginning to the end was tell you want not to do. That should of course be said, but that wasn't what I thought the whole book would be about!

As I read, I kept waiting for the intro to end and the book to begin. Never happened. On and on about finding voice talent, but even then it was info easily found on the internet for free. Nothing was fleshed out enough to make me feel I got my monies worth...and I got it for FREE!!! Instead of jump starting my audio book, I fee it put me behind schedule. The ACX site on Amazon.com would have been quicker and probably more detailed and accurate.

I had high hopes but this was truly terrible.  I might have laughed once throughout the whole thing.  It's free but still don't waste your time.

This reads like a compilation of Tripadvisor reviews, and short ones, at that.  There was nothing I'd consider to be "local", and by the time I got to the Hs in the alphabetized reviews, I was tired of it.  If you can read it for free, great. But it's not worth spending money on.

Tried this on the first day it was supposed to be free but it wasn't. What a rip off this is.

It was a free read - I like free reads but this was just not a keeper for me nor would I recommend it to anyone.  Normally, I pass on reviewing free reads because you get what you pay for but I have actually came across some really good free reads lately that made this one look like a bad deal because I wasted time reading it.

SPOILER AHEAD:
Female meets Male, has sex with Male, loses job because of Male, has babies because of Male, Male finds out about babies and then figures out he loves female and wants to raise babies with her.

That's it.  No need to read the book because that was basically it.  It you want a very, very quick read with almost no real plot then you might enjoy this very short and saccharine book - otherwise pass.

I bought the book because I'm a sucker for Christmas stories.  I thought that the premise sounded great because the older my husband gets, the more "bah, humbug" he also gets.  I thought it would be fun to read about another household and their reasons for giving up Christmas for a year.  While it's a cute story, I read it in about two hours.  I wish that I had gotten it from the library and saved my money.  The book is short, and you're paying close to $[money] per page to read it.  Amazon has 20 pages of excerpts, which is about 11% of the book.  In this case you could read the excerpts and have gotten a pretty good handle on the book.  The story is more suited for a magazine like Redbook.  There is very little development of the characters; 177 pages doesn't leave much room for that.  It's a good summer day at the pool read if you borrow it from the library.  But it's not worth $[money].  Save your money and buy the Mitford series or Cold Tea on a Hot Day.  Both are lighter reads but with far more interesting and developed characters and plot.

Don't bother. It's been done before and by far better writers. The only plus was that this was a freebie.

This is not even worth a dollar. I read through this in less than 10 minutes and didn't learn anything I could look up on Wikipedia. You are better off going to seeking alpha dot com and reading free articles there with MUCH more useful information. The best part, it's free! I would advise anyone looking at his ebook to go to seeking alpha dot com and read through  Nathan Buehler's articles or just search for vix or volatility. Nothing to see here, move along.

Not worth the money. PDF on line free and better.

Like another reviewer I picked this book up as a giveaway during a conference in early Nov. boy am I glad it was free. Not worth paying for. Lots of requests for my email address and to send in the receipt for the book to get more information that would be helpful (recommended equipment) I felt cheated.
A few good concepts and a good overview on how podcasting can be used - but overall I did not get close to the basic education I was looking for in this book.
Felt more like an ad for this guy's company and a way to hook you into other sell opportunities.
Don't buy if you want to really understand the podcast world and how best to get started.

Very slow going, and the accent is wrong.
Ye, not ya
Yer not yar
Ye'll not yall

And so on.
As for the ending, no I'm not going to be cliffhangered into buying a bunch more of these books.

It was free.  And it hovered on being overpriced.  It wasn't completely terrible, but I don't want its friends to come and clutter up my kindle.

A grade school synopsis of characters activities from the series. Not really of much help. The links, what few there are fail to work, The last half are 50 questions from a game with NO answers (Sorry just found them in a resized screen, small print bottom of the page answers up to question 46. There is a link to buy the other half for $5 for that book.

Just another money grab, not really worth the bother. Luckily I got it free, so all I overpaid on is my time.

the ones given away free are better than this one...not even worth taking out of the plastic.

a free movie isn't always good, but at least it's free.

the sound people suck. the script and directing suck. the cinematography sucks. the actors suck.

but it's free.

I realize a lot of people hate it when reviews are made on books if the reader didn't finish the book, but if the book wasn't worth finishing, don't you want to know that? I bought the kindle version of this book and probably was 25-30% into it, and had to quit. There was very little character development, and really the best part of the book was the beginning. There didn't seem to be any lead in to time traveling and there didn't seem to be much explanation for the significance of stolen words and how it was even done. I'm not saying that everything should have been explained up front, but I couldn't see where this book was going at all. The stake out sequence was so incredibly confusing and so many characters were introduced, I couldn't keep track of anyone. It jumped around so much, I couldn't visualize it at all. The premise of the book was intriguing, and I love the character's name, Thursday Next, but the book just didn't deliver the goods. What makes the whole thing worse is that I paid $10 for this. What a total rip off. I have such a hard time spending that much for an eBook, but with all the great reviews and the great sample I got, I thought it was worth it. It wasn't.

It's funny, I was just reading an article about how indie authors are ruining the book industry. How about mainstream books that charge too much and they suck?
