Heath Anderson

Great Story but Narrator is God-Awful

Revisado: 11-30-21

Narrator’s voice is high pitched and his feminine tone greatly takes away from the otherwise phenomenal work of Heinlein. It’s like listening to a pre pubescent boy try and talk tough for several hours.

Intriguing tho disappointing at times

Revisado: 11-09-21

I’m impressed for the most part for this book. The subject material is very interesting and although there is research and creativity I must sadly point out that the author doesn’t think his theory’s completely through.
He makes both simple and complex mistakes in his facts (at one point he states “no army enjoyed a complete mechanized advantage”) not thinking of the American forces who didn’t take a single horse with them to Europe or Asia, they in fact DID go to war with mechanized forces.
The author states that the Nazis could have won if only they’d sharpened their negotiating skills in having Imperial Japan attack into Siberia and Finland take Leningrad.
I must disagree. His book goes into the realms of pure fantasy.

Informative Yet Tedious

Revisado: 05-10-21

I’ve enjoyed Peter Heather’s work and have read his works on the Fall of Rome. The man clearly knows his history and his attention to detail is remarkable. So remarkable that he goes on tangents upon tangents and soon we’re descending into a vortex of knowledge so deep that you’re left spinning and sinking into a Peter Heather aderrol fueled abyss of information that will have you hypnotized and numb once you pull through.

A complete letdown

Revisado: 03-31-21

I wanted to enjoy this but it’s full of lies and complete distortions of reality.
The author makes a few good observations but his assessment that America won the Vietnam war and many other falsehoods made me realize he’s insane

Healthy info but failed by presentation

Revisado: 03-14-21

Faith Harper has a good grip on people. I appreciate how she communicates in a manner that is both vulgar and practical. She doesn’t hold back with her opinions and that is appreciated.
Sadly, I couldn’t focus on her Fuc&$@# advice because she chose to record her audio in a bathroom. The acoustics distracts from this potty mouth counselor and it’s sad, because I know she has some advice to offer.

Painfully boring yet decent information

Revisado: 01-14-21

Story had so much promise but ended up being extremely droll. I couldn’t keep my interest - didn’t help that the narrator has a bland, monotone voice that hardly ever changes inflection. I think the voice actor is being forced to do this as a kind of community service. Like listening to Ben Stein read the back of medicine bottles for hours on end.

A Disappointing Experience

Revisado: 12-16-20

What I anticipated as a great collection of stories and analysis of the Roman age came as a tragic case of old, antiquated speak which doesn’t flow very well in today’s vocabulary. Disagree as you may, this is my opinion. Gibbon also doesn’t see the empire from enough angles, tending to hold other cultures and tribes with disdain.
