Agree on the last. On the other hand, I've found that the author's tendency to belabor his point means I haven't missed much when I zone out, so I don't back up - especially as the Hoopla app doesn't seem to care for it.

Agree with you about Peugeot. Tedious, unenlightening and implies that the reader (listener) is an uninformed dope. The explanation of how currency works is another example. We get it already! In fact, we knew it already.
