Unfocused

Revisado: 06-27-18

The author failed to create a clear, focused narrative. He was regularly sidetracked down unhelpful paths and did not provide a clear picture of the topic.

The kind of book you don't want to end.

Revisado: 11-02-16

Absolutely amazing book. I looked forward to every commute, even hoping the drive would be slower than usual.
The story was original and fun and the narration was excellent.
So made 80s references made it especially fun for someone who grew up then. It would be great even for those who weren't familiar with that decade though.

Simple and Predictable

Revisado: 04-01-16

The Author's black fleet trilogy was so good I thought I'd try this series.
Unfortunately, with shallow and simple characters and a plot line that was completely predictable, it didn't live up to the other books.

Leadership fable

Revisado: 03-19-16

When authors choose to tell a fictional story to illustrate their ideas it's usually because the ideas are pretty thin.
That's the case in this book as well. The central idea is to treat others the way you know you should. Good idea but it could have been presented in a pamphlet.

Rip-roaring Ride!

Revisado: 02-27-16

No augmented humans, no shields on ships - just warp drives and big guns on battleships in space. The story is great with interesting characters and a fast-moving plot. Things make sense and there's little disbelief that you'll have to suspend. Mark Boyett does a great job with the performance as well, differentiating voices and putting the emotion into the dialogue.

It was a great listen and I'm downloading the sequel immediately. The third of the series doesn't appear to be on audible however.

Nye is always great

Nye is always an engaging author and speaker. Very well written and persuasive book. Would recommend to anyone interested in science and/or the environment.

Richard Armitage is awesome

Revisado: 01-01-16

Richard Armitage does an incredible job with narrating this story, differentiating the voices and adding emotion throughout.
The story itself requires attention to follow and is more of a morality tale than a drama. Interesting though.

Amazing narration

Revisado: 06-09-14

When you look forward to your commute each day, you know you've picked up a great audiobook. I listened to this trilogy over the span of two weeks and found the characters interesting and the story engaging.

The writing is a bit simplistic at times but the narration by Victor Bevine is great.

Thoroughly enjoyable and I've moved on to the next series of Drizzt books.

Solid and digestable summary of statistics

Revisado: 11-06-13

Very well written - engaging and interesting. It's a stats class that woudl have been fun to take in school. Covers basic stats from mean and median up to regression analysis and things to watch for when interpreting these statistics.

Due to the content, it's sometimes difficult to follow in the audio version and a visual would have been helpful but otherwise, a useful and worthwhile discussion of important understandings of the use of statistics in the real world.

Good but not the best

Revisado: 10-20-13

Gladwell is a gifted writer and an exceptional narrator. He brings these talents to bear on his newest book and deliveres a great performance as usual. Unfortunately, the content isn't as strong as a couple of his previous books. The connections between the stories and his overall premise is a bit stretched at times and occasionally difficult to see how they relate.

Still a good buy however with some solid takeaways and as usual, a new perspective on the world.
