Daniel May steers this audiobook with energy and confidence, narrating as if each turn of events is as surprising to him as it is to the listener. There are plenty of crazy characters to portray as well, including the back-stabbing Twitter founders themselves, IPO-crazed investors, Snoop Dogg, and Mark Zuckerberg. May obviously researched the players, and he does an especially convincing job of voicing cofounder Jack Dorsey. As the book points out, the company's history was written by those with the loudest voices, and the Twitter juggernaut was not the result of a company strategy--it was in spite of it. Fast-paced narration, great storytelling, and a truly bizarre story make this a standout among the recent books about the founders of tech companies.

The readers can't compensate for the unbearably pompous prose style of this extended parable about corporate politics and strategy.

The audiobook illuminates the misdeeds of malevolent marketers, sleazy lawyers, and unethical doctors.
Cassandra Campbell’s narration is a model of a nonfiction performance. Her reading of exposition is careful and convincing. She knows where to pause and how to move the action forward. Law professor Burch’s investigative report of the con men, grifters, and profiteers who took advantage of women who were harmed by vaginal mesh implant removal is deeply researched. The revelations of how these “professionals” colluded to scam these vulnerable women who experienced incontinence, pain, and emotional distress after their procedures is horrific. The patients whose mesh implants were removed often had no medical workups prior to surgeries and were charged egregious hidden fees. The text also exposes the legal system’s glacial pace.
