Great story but...

Revisado: 10-03-24

This otherwise great story is crippled by a superficial social analysis that incorporates silly modern day conspiracy theories. There are other details that don't make sense, like why future soldiers are fighting with essentially reskinned versions of current day balistic weapons. However, the narrator is excellent and helps one overlook the story's flaws

Decent story, silly human drama

Revisado: 06-11-24

The story would be better without the contrived human drama involving marital infidelity on both sides of the 2000 year reanimation

This tale hits close to home in a lot of ways. Had me tearing up. Good catharsis

Great story & narrator

King is in the zone for this book, and thankfully he has a narrator able to convey the magic

Not as powerful as the first

Revisado: 09-04-23

I thought the first book was excellent, but this sequel was just OK...it felt lacking at times. I don't plan on continuing the series.

Objective comparison

Revisado: 05-29-19

This was a very informative, unbiased comparison of capitalism & socialism. Presented in a historical context with meaningful statistics. I really enjoyed it.

One of my all-time favorite books

Revisado: 01-14-19

This book hits that rare high note. It's a wonderful story that also can be a catalyst for positive growth. Absolutely superb work by the author, and the narrator is excellent too.

Narration is really bad

Revisado: 05-14-18

The narrator (Larry McKeever) is one of the worst I've encountered on Audible. My son happened to hear this book while I was exercising, and he joked by saying the guy was really going for a robot sound. But that's how Larry narrates nearly the entire book, with precious little bits of feeling/passion infusing his work with life. Thankfully Scott Brick has the narrative reigns again until the last chronological book in the series, where oddly enough Larry re-emerges to narrate again (!?). I'm sure Larry's a nice dude, but man his narration is really bad...look at his other narration reviews to see what I mean.

Potentially life changing

Revisado: 02-14-18

One thing I like about his analysis on addictions is he moves beyond the usual suspects like alcohol & gambling addictions, and makes one ponder how any desire that exerts control in our lives that prevents us from achieving our full potential should be looked at carefully.

This approach ties in with one of my favorite meditation principles, which is the idea that we our NOT our thoughts & desires. To extend this idea further, my own thoughts are we are a soul housed in a human shell, and while this human shell provides us a wonderful vehicle for spiritual growth...it can also get in the way with distracting thoughts and powerful desires that can swing us toward unhealthy food, meaningless sex, etc.

Overall Russell provides a pragmatic way to identify & overcome addiction via the 12 Step program, and he sprinkles this method with meaningful spiritual insight he's learned along the way (which he humbly continually gives credit to others for).

One of my new favorite books

Revisado: 09-08-17

This has become one of my new favorite books, which has an extremely important & timeless message for the human family.

As for the narration was...I found it a little dry. I'd like to see George Guidall narrate this work...I think he could infuse it with more of the emotion and passion it deserves.
