One reviewer called this accent "Yankee" I would describe it as Billy Crystal's character in Princess Bride on Zanax. So slow and stereotypically new Turkish that I had to fight to stay awake and focused. I suppose there are some good ideas, but most did not seem too unusual, though this is the first diet book I've read and I don't know how it compares to others in this genre.

I commend anyone who can actually endure listening to this author's voice, which is so incredibly grating that it almost sounds like a parody. If any book cries out for a professional reader in lieu of the author, it's this one. I'm giving it a 3 because he had some good ideas, but I couldn't stay with his voice for the long haul. It drove me mad, and not in a good way.
