Text book
A bit too dull, just when you think it is going to get to a point it references another chapter of the book.

elementary academics
in it's form the book has proven to be very flat. Academic language, no story line, and no engaging examples made the overall experience quite boring. About 2/3 into the book, I found myself wanting it to end already. I was getting absent minded and daydreaming through large chunks of the content, because of the form being the opposite of captivating.

would be useful to have the titles included on the chapter list to make it easier to refer back to.

Not easy to flick between chapters
Not easy to flick between chapters because they only have numbers and not actual titles listed. A nice overview in areas.

Well written but too much like a reference book
The style of writing in this book is very easy to listen to and the narrator certainly gets this across well. The concepts of how the brain works and how our senses interact with our brains is thorough. As the book is sequential in nature, it reads like a reference book. This makes it heavy going to listen to. Cases studies are very short as you would expect in a reference book but given that the book is an audible book, longer case studies would have helped a narrative thread. This is my main criticism of the book.
The one thing that the book doesn't say is how cognitive psychology helps people or give solid ideas to the reader about how he/she could use it. A greater focus on case studies and ideas for the reader would have been best.
The recording is good although whenever the narrator says the word, "Psychology" the sibilance is painful!
An interesting book but not really effective as an audio book given it's reference type structure.
