Customer feedback describes the content as interesting and useful for learning or reference, with a chapter on infinity singled out as valuable. Readability is mixed, including reports that the text can be difficult to get through; value opinions also differ. That matters for a long, unabridged recording: it may suit focused study better than casual listening, though the 4.4 out of 5 rating from 278 ratings does not explain individual reactions.
