Summary
A remarkable history with elements of both In the President's Secret Service and The Butler, The Residence offers an intimate account of the service staff of the White House, from the Kennedys to the Obamas.
I really like delving into behind-the-scenes subjects, and this one is no exception. However, I didn't find much new information in this book. The narrative lacked a clear timeline, making it difficult to follow. The narrator's slow pace compelled me to increase the speed to 1.25x just to reach a normal rate. Additionally, all the voices other than the narrator were portrayed with the same voice, which wasn't very appealing. Despite my initial interest, I was disappointed as the book didn't live up to its potential.
The recording of this audiobook definitely requires some improvement. The narrator lacks emotion and sounds rather robotic. Additionally, the reading rhythm is stilted and oddly paced, which makes it difficult to determine whether the book itself is good or not.
