Quite The Juxtaposition

Revisado: 12-29-19

To have your ears filled with such sad stories and injustice is very tough, but this book is so entertaining, interesting and educational that you won’t want to stop listening. It’s strange to enjoy something so sad so much. Mr. Stevenson is a wonderful writer and narrator.

Deeply profound

Revisado: 12-15-18

I’m going to start this book over right now. There’s so much packed in the short book that you find yourself blown away and still ponder the previous statement as he continues to speak. I did a lot of rewinding. Definitely more so than usual.

Benedict Cumberbatch was great as well.

Enjoyable-

Revisado: 06-20-18

I found this book very enjoyable. As this is not Dennett’s field he has to explain how he comes to his conclusions and who helped him get to them. This helps a laymen like me. He explains each section of the book very clearly and gives you an idea where he’s headed. It would be helpful to have read Dawkins prior to this book. It’s a good recap of the selfish gene, blind watchmaker and the extended phenotype.

Dennett is a philosopher and sometimes he can be a little long winded in his examples before making his ultimate point. The only truly annoying thing about this book is each reference cited is spoken out at the end of the citation ie “Dawkins 1978 page 52”

Easy To Understand

Revisado: 11-10-17

I'm a laymen and I found it easy to follow along with. At times I did have to pause and look up a few of the terms or processes he was speaking of. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and learned an incredible amount from it.

Pissed me off.. In a good way

Revisado: 05-09-17

I liked how she contrasted the success she enjoyed being a product of the middle class in the 60's and 70's with the struggles of today's middle class. She used a few people's stories and added the legislative underlying reasons to what caused their failures.

I learned a bit more about the inner workings of lobbyists and special interest groups as well.

I was angry most of the time I was listening to this book. A lot of time shaking my head in disgust. But I feel more informed and more motivated than I did prior to listening to it.

Perfect For Me

Revisado: 05-06-17

I'd recommend this book to people who want a basic understanding of the cosmos and maybe as a base to move into more complex books.

I enjoyed this book very much.
