Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Breaking Free From Your Bad Habits
Thomas Biggins · 2025
🎙 Narrated by AI/digital voice (Apple Books-generated narration based on a human voice model, per Apple Books listing) — not a traditional human studio narrator
41/100
👎 Skip It
Biggins tackles a real, common struggle — drinking, smoking, unhealthy eating patterns — with a simple two-solution structure, and the framing is recovery-oriented rather than judgmental, which I appreciate. The dealbreaker for a lot of listeners will be the narration: this is Apple Books' AI-generated voice, not a human narrator, and an 8-hour runtime on a two-solution framework raises real questions about padding.

🎙 Narration: rough Narrated via Apple Books' AI-generated digital voice rather than a traditional human studio narrator — a significant heads-up for listeners who prefer or require human narration.
