BUSINESS @ THE SPEED OF THOUGHT

Here's the latest from the Microsoft Maven: Businesses should use computers, email should be the preferred method of corporate communication, and ecommerce will change the world. Jonathan Marosz narrates this less than scintillating work in a monotone that makes the book seem twice as long as it is. Perhaps it's the material. Marosz has a good voice for narrating because it's low and soothing. But he needs to work on his pacing and breathing. Too many sentences are read without pauses or inflections, and many important words get lost because he doesn't highlight them or give them emphasis. This is a disappointing book all around.
