Historia
Some lines should never be crossed. Police corruption, an investigation that ends in tragedy and the mystery of a little girl’s silence – three unconnected events that will prove to be linked by one small town. While detective Cormac Reilly faces enemies at work and trouble in his personal life, garda Peter Fisher is relocated out of Galway with the threat of prosecution hanging over his head. But even that is not as terrible as having to work for his overbearing father, the local copper for the pretty seaside town of Roundstone.

Best Cormac Reilly book yet
Revisado: 12-18-23
McTiernan is a masterful crime author, and can crafr complex characters with history and lives, complex situations to put them in, suspense, empathy, and more. This book only leaves me wanting another with these great characters.

Historia
After his adventures in The Tower of Fools and Warriors of God, Reynevan is on the run again, harried by enemies—some human, and some mystical—at every turn. These are cruel and dangerous times for a man such as Reynevan, and to survive, he must set aside his history as a peaceful healer and idealist and play the brutal role of Hussite spy as crusades sweep through Silesia and the Czech Republic, and the world around him is forever changed.

A Fantasy Masterpiece

Peter Kenny's narration is astounding as always, and the Hussite Trilogy is Sapkowski's master work. It's enjoyable, entertaining, and well-written throughout. The world and characters feel deep and vibrant.

A fun detective story
Revisado: 03-31-23
This was an engaging mystery throughout most of the story. I did feel that some parts handed the reader too many details out of the blue instead of placing them within the narrative better. The narration was solid.

Historia
A century ago, mountain lions were vilified as a threat to livestock and hunted to the verge of extinction. Its recovery has led to an unexpected conundrum: Do more mountain lions mean they're a threat to humans and domestic animals? Or, are mountain lions still in need of our help and protection as their habitat dwindles? Mountain lion biologist and expert Mark Elbroch welcomes these tough questions. He dismisses long-held myths about mountain lions and uses groundbreaking science to uncover important new information about their social habits.

Informative and interesting, but obviously biased
Revisado: 08-04-22
Overall, an enjoyable, informative audiobook. However, the author does seem to use se misleading language and provide information out of full context when talking about state wildlife agencies management of cougars (ie restitution benefits given to ranchers for livestock loss). The author also makes heavy assumptions about the motivations and intentions of various interest groups in Chapter 8 (ie stating that "naturalistic hunters" could not logically see hunting as recreational). To be fair Chapter 8 has a great call to action and call out foe making wildlife management more well-rounded and inclusive.
The narrator also makes several obvious errors (ie "Pittman-Roberts Act" and "US Geological Society").

Last summer, The New Yorker published chef Anthony Bourdain's shocking, "Don't Eat Before Reading This." Now, the author uses the same "take-no-prisoners" attitude in his deliciously funny and shockingly delectable audiobook, sure to delight gourmands and philistines alike.

A great, light-hearted listen
Revisado: 07-22-20
This book is enjoyable if you have ever worked in a restaurant or just eat out some times. Anthony Bourdain was an illustrative and verbose writer and no one else would've been appropriate for narrating this book.

solid performance, dull story
Revisado: 07-08-20
The story is overall dull and unoriginal. The author focuses heavily on details and repeats details they think to be important to make sure the reader understand them instead of leaving it to the reader.

Historia
Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.

Interesting ideas; too speculative and pessimistic
Revisado: 11-19-19
Sapiens seems like a philosophy book that wants really badly to be a scientific text. It shifts from being pretentious and wildly speculative to at best making more or less strongly backed claims. It does posit some interesting ideas, theories, and viewpoints with really vivid and entertaining language. However, overall it seems pessimistic, pompous, and kind of dogmatic. The narrator and his pleasant British accent do a pretty good job though. I got this book expecting more of a scientific exploration of ancient humans and a broad overview of civilizations, and I didn't get that.

Historia
This definitive audio collection, read by Stacy Keach, traces the development and maturation of Hemingway's distinct and revolutionary storytelling style - from the plain bald language of his first story to his mastery of seamless prose that contained a spare, eloquent pathos, as well as a sense of expansive solitude. These stories showcase the singular talent of a master, the most important American writer of the 20th century.

Good narratives but with an incoherent structure
Revisado: 10-21-19
I really enjoyed the stories themselves but the outline structure of the book doesnt get matched well with the audiobook format and some times it gets confusing and incomprehensible.

Both a captivating narrative and a book of environmental and historical significance, American Buffalo tells us as much about ourselves as Americans as it does about the creature who perhaps best of all embodies the American ethos.
