Two-paced reading
Great audiobook to learn the most common Chinese words in context. The best part is that it's read at a normal pace and a slowing pace for beginners.

Perfect for me.
Everybody has different things that work for them on the language learning path. For me this is fantastic. I know if I study and listen each day before too long I will have a handle on the Chinese language. Before I got this audiobook my study was scattered but now I feel I can just focus on one resource.

a great resource for a certain kind of buyer
this resource alone will not make you good at Chinese. but I think the concept of this resource is excellent and a great supplement to other learning resources.
the concept is to take the most frequent characters in Chinese and give you a sentence using that character. one of the greatest challenges in studying Chinese are the characters, they are like a huge alphabet and this resource can be an audio methods to help you tackle that alphabet. learning the alphabet as opposed to words I think is beneficial to start off with because it has higher yield later on (words in Chinese with combined these characters and different ways to make different words).
I would also say the performance or execution of the concept was excellent. the narrator has very clear and standard pronunciation the audio quality is very good and the sequence is just right in my opinion: word, definition, sentence slow, sentence fast.
listening to new words/characters in context also give your brain a challenge-to decipher sentences. and this also acts as revision.
two problems I would mention: firstly, some English words as in the definitions were mispronounced and that was a bit confusing. for example plough sounded a bit like plow. so this isn't a big problem if someone is considering buying the book. and secondly some of the sentences used to give context to a new word are too complex in my opinion. perhaps that is because those words are most commonly used in complex sentences so maybe it's fair enough but I found there were some sentences I had no possible way of understanding. through example talking about technical biology. that notwithstanding I was very pleased with the product overall and would heartily recommend it if you are a serious minded and somewhat independent learner.

Not great
Has good vocabulary and sentences but the accent on the English words is sometimes too strong to understand, if I didn’t already know some Chinese I think it would be impossible to understand and learn from.
