   Good book bad narrator.

   This audio book is a perfect example of how good book can be ruined by a bad narrator. The narrators voice was did not fit the narrative and came across as unsettling and uncomfortable.

   Why?

   I wished the author had more carefully defined happiness. It seems to me that he took it for granted that can all agree on happiness. Seems like silly point, but given the centrality to his overall argument that it would be important to clearly define what happiness is, and isn't. I also didn't follow why you could equate utility and happiness which seems central in some passages. I am left with a big, "why?" nagging at me. I'm not even sure all that my "why" implies, but it's a great place to start with this book.

   Narration had some flaws

   Decent content, but not exactly spectate. The narrator should have done a second take of a few lines where he choked a bit. And someone should have told him the author's name is Mill, not Mills 😂

   Excellent!!!

   All around insightful. Not a sentence in this book did I find to be inessential. Written by a master craftsman of words with an intellect of precision and mind for making connections.

   Disgusting Narration

   Narrator mispronounces author's name. It's Mill not "Mills." Mispronounces "Protagoras." Mispronounces "a priori." Narrator snorts. What the hell? Inexcusable.

   Impassioned narration of an interesting subject.

   John Stuart Mill was ahead of his time regarding the clamoring for equality and justice for the little guy. He understood the helpless position under which the poverty-stricken are shackled.

   Speaker was bad

   The book is great but the speaker too often makes high and low pitches making it hard to hear him while driving
