Absolutely horrible narration.
Revisado: 05-22-24
I listened to this book on the advice of a friend. Unfortunately he didn't mention how bad the narration was. This is the first book I've listened to with AI narration and if this is par for the course, it'll be the last.
The book itself was pretty good.

Historia
It's America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. In San Francisco, the I Ching is as common as the Yellow Pages. All because some twenty years earlier the United States lost a war - and is now occupied by Nazi Germany and Japan.

I had heard a lot of good about the television series. The plot sounded great. But the book left me scratching my head wondering if that was really it?

Getting tired of "woke" storytelling.

Absolutely no need to point out every character who owned slaves. It was commonplace then.

Historia
A century ago very few people dreamed of space travel. Today it is the most daring and technologically sophisticated quest ever undertaken, being driven not just by government agencies such as NASA and ESA, but also by visionaries such as Richard Branson (Virgin Galactic), Elon Musk (SpaceX) and Jeff Bezos (Blue Origin). To mark the 50th anniversary of the 1969 moon landing, this major drama-documentary series charts the definitive story of the past, present and future of humankind’s exploration of space. The Space Race is narrated by Kate Mulgrew and features a full cast.

Almost great
Revisado: 07-17-20
The historical party of the book was great but for some reason they decided to add in dramatic recreations of events or totally fictitious guesses of future events. Those were minor irritations at first but by the end of the book, especially the last chapter they were completely rediculous and made what could've been a really good book just average. I fast forwarded thru the drama parts at the end they irritated me so much.

John needs to stick to acting. This was truly a needlessly vulgar disgrace. A complete waste of time.

Awful
Revisado: 04-16-20
This will be the first audiobook I couldn't finish. I couldn't even make it half way. It might be a good book for a child when you're trying teach them the very basics of life but that's about it. I kept thinking that this was a poor attempt to replicate The Great Divorce if it were to be done from a completely secular perspective without any traces of a Christian worldview. Better to listen to C. S. Lewis.

Flight technician Frank Williams and Judy, a purebred pointer, met in the most unlikely of places: a World War II internment camp in the Pacific. Judy was a fiercely loyal dog, with a keen sense for who was friend and who was foe, and the pair's relationship deepened throughout their captivity. When the prisoners suffered beatings, Judy would repeatedly risk her life to intervene.

Revisado: 11-19-19
Several times throughout this book I found myself thinking there's no way this could be true! But it seems the author has written this book after lots of research. He points out that many of the "unbelievable" events were seen by several people that he references being interviewed about later in life. Truly a remarkable story about a remarkable dog! I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

One of the most popular and beloved introductions to the concept of faith ever written, Mere Christianity has sold millions of copies worldwide. This audiobook brings together C. S. Lewis' legendary radio broadcasts during the war years, in which he set out simply to "explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times."

Finished it at last!
Revisado: 10-27-19
I had tried reading this book on several occasions but could never make it past the first couple chapters. There's just so much to process and think about that I kept rereading it to better understand what was being said. I wasn't sure if listening to it would be better or worse.
Well, I finally finished it! Now I want to go back and attempt to read the book once again, maybe while listening to it. I don't know why, but it was easier to understand when I was listening to it that when I read it. That being said, it's an excellent book that is helpful in understanding the "why" of the Christian faith better.
