About This Audiobook

Diving headfirst into advanced SQL concepts without a solid foundation can be a recipe for frustration. Unfortunately, that's exactly what listeners get with this audiobook. The narrator's enthusiasm is evident, but the content feels disjointed and shallow. Corrie Legge's narration is clear, if uninspired, but can't elevate the meager text. The book's structure, with short chapters and simplistic explanations, betrays its ambitious goal of transforming novice listeners into expert scripters. The result is a jarring experience, like trying to cram a comprehensive college course into a single, uneven lecture.

While the author's examples and queries are occasionally helpful, they're often too simplistic or outdated to be truly useful. The audiobook's brevity, at just over 2 hours, only serves to emphasize its shortcomings. In short, 'SQL: Advanced Level SQL from the Ground Up' feels like a hastily compiled collection of surface-level concepts rather than a nuanced exploration of the subject. Unless listeners are complete SQL beginners, they'll quickly find themselves wanting more depth and substance.

Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As someone who's worked with audiobooks for years, I was disappointed with the experience of listening to 'SQL: Advanced Level SQL from the Ground Up'. Corrie Legge's narration is solid, but it can't compensate for the audiobook's numerous flaws. One of the biggest issues is the pacing, which feels haphazard and unbalanced. The book jumps abruptly from one topic to the next, leaving listeners struggling to keep up. Additionally, the examples and queries often feel like they're from a different era altogether, rendering them less relevant than intended. While I appreciate the author's enthusiasm, I found myself frustrated by the audiobook's complete lack of depth. As someone who's worked with SQL for years, I was hoping for a more nuanced exploration of the subject, but what I got was a shallow, surface-level treatment that failed to deliver. Overall, I'd recommend 'SQL: Advanced Level SQL from the Ground Up' to complete beginners, but even then, I'd caution them to look elsewhere for a more comprehensive introduction to the subject. For anyone with even a basic understanding of SQL, this audiobook is a waste of time.
