For each company profiled, learn what data was used, what problem it solved, and the processes put it place to make it practical as well as the technical details, challenges, and lessons learned from each unique scenario.

Good but not great
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Yes more details about the interesting, and less trying to make the sections similar in format to each other.
What does Piers Hampton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I liked the reader very much. He did well with content that was sometimes cut short seemingly just to fit the format of the other chapters. I wonder if I would have skim read this book if it was not for the reader.
Was Big Data in Practice worth the listening time?
Yes. Most of it was interesting but the format felt restrictive, and just when you thought "how did that turn out" the next section was announced.
