That $60 audiobook on ancient Rome was 20 hours of filler

I picked up a highly rated audiobook about Roman engineering for a 25 hour road trip from Austin to Denver. Turned out the author spent 6 chapters on aqueduct trivia and barely covered concrete or the Colosseum's drainage. I got 3 hours in and realized the narrator had a weird lip-smacking habit that drove me nuts. Returned it through Audible's policy, but I wasted my first 3 hours of the drive and half my patience. Has anyone else hit a book that looked great on paper but was pure padding?
