66/100
👎 Skip It
Penny here — I actually like the ethical spine of this one: Roberts insists on treating distressed homeowners fairly rather than squeezing them, which is rarer than it should be in this niche. It's a concise, step-by-step listen, though the abridged audio edition trims some depth, and be sure you know which edition/narrator you're buying since a couple exist.

🎙 Narration: fine Brett Barry narrates the 2008 abridged edition (2h55m); a separate 2nd-edition audiobook exists narrated by Charles Constant — confirm which one you're buying.
