I was looking for a biography - this is definitely not that. Much of this book is just opinion or interpretation of abstract ideas. The author is not a good writer, which makes it difficult to follow what he is trying to convey. Narration is OK, I think wikipedia or perhaps a different book would probably provide more information on the life of St Francis. Would not recommend this one.

Lame

Revisado: 12-17-24

Bought this one thinking I would read the book then watch the Netflix show. The book was down right boring, kept thinking it was building up to something but turned out to be a Dud. The scariest part of the book was enduring the endless and pointless dialogue between the characters. Seven hours of complete boredom. BTW, the NETFLIX series is a totally different storyline, not really based on the book other than having a few of the characters names. Wouldn't recommend either the book or the show

an 11 hour comic book

Revisado: 11-15-24

the title seemed intriguing and I bought it with the intent of reading it before watching the show. Essentially a John Wick type super hero. If you are just looking for an action book without an ounce of realism, then you might like it. Narration was decent.

Interesting but too long

Revisado: 04-13-24

The first part of the book focuses on Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett - very interesting and informative. The actual killing of Billy the Kid almost seemed anti-climatic as the book transitions shortly thereafter to focus on the life of Pat Garrett, which could have been a separate book. Probably the final third of the book is focused on Pat Garrett and his struggles to make ends meet. Narration was decent but I recommend playing it at a little higher speed than what it was recorded at.

Same character, different name, still good

I love the Jon Cory books and this book is essentially another entry in that series - the characters names are different but their personas are so similar I had to wonder if this originated as a Cory book and maybe was later decided to change the names and start a new series Like the Cory books there are plenty of laugh out loud moments and the story itself is interesting. If you like the Cory books I think you will enjoy this book. Scott Brick is outstanding as always as the narrator. Definitely worth the credit

I read the Tombstone book by Mr Clavin and thoroughly enjoyed it, I bought this one thinking it would be similar but was greatly disappointed, I found it hard to believe the same person wrote it. Reads like a collection of articles or short stories stitched together. Unfortunately, I think you would get a better picture of Wild Bill by just looking him up on Wikipedia. There was so much unnecessary and in some cases unrelated filler that I had to wonder if there was some kind of minimum page count the author had to deliver to meet his contract. Narration was decent, the book was just too boring for the narrator to save. Would not recommend this one, but his book on Tombstone is very good.

Fascinating

Revisado: 04-09-23

Excellent course on Mesoamerica. Professor Barnhart does an amazing job of providing a very thorough history of a number of these civilizations - focusing primarily on the Mayan and Aztec cultures. His lectures were very informative and provided great deal of information that I was not aware of. A large part of the information was derived from archaeological evidence and the ability to discern the information from ruins and the few codex's that survive. Narration was excellent, well worth the credit

Best book I have read in quite some time - pulls you in right from the start. Fantastic story spanning the World War 2 era. Loved the characters and how the story line evolved and ultimately tied things together. I hope Mr Kestral writes more like it. Naration was exceptional. Exciting and very intriquing. Highly recommended, Well worth the credit.

Excellent

Fascinating tale of espionage and code breaking during the Berlin crisis. You can feel the tense pressure of not knowing who you can trust as everyone is potentially a counter agent. Well written, incredibly suspenseful and believeable. The narration is exceptional as is the plot - well worth the credit

disappointing

Revisado: 10-09-22

Like many of the other reviewers, I love the Bobaverse novels. This one seemed to be something he put together to meet a contractual obligation. The story was lame, predictable and preachy. I would not recommend using a credit on this dud.
