Only a few years ago, it seemed that the fight for gay rights was won in the UK: legal equality was achieved, prejudice rapidly dying out. Mission accomplished, right? Wrong, argues Gareth Roberts. Homophobia is making a major comeback under the guise of the ideology of 'gender identity'. In this passionate, witty polemic, Gareth Roberts answers these questions and argues that we need a new gay liberation movement.

Excellent, well argued defence of sex realism
Revisado: 06-26-24
The review title says it all. The author delivers an important message for society to return to sanity. A must listen/read and call to action on so many fronts.

Bigfoot is an instantly recognizable figure. Through the decades, this elusive primate has been featured in movies and books, and on coffee mugs, beer koozies, car polish, and CBD oil. Which begs the question: what is it about Bigfoot that's caught hold of our imaginations? Journalist and self-diagnosed skeptic John O'Connor is fascinated by Sasquatch. Curious to learn more, he embarks on a quest through the North American wilds in search of Bigfoot, its myth and meaning.

Trump, Trump, Trump
Revisado: 04-03-24
I thought this was going to be a Bigfoot narrative, not a tedious anti-Trump diatribe.

Cities and countries engulfed by panic and death, desperate for vaccines but fearful of what inoculation may bring. This is what the world has just gone through with Covid-19. But as Simon Schama shows in his epic history of vulnerable humanity caught between the terror of contagion and the ingenuity of science, it has happened before.

Mostly irrelevant narrative
Revisado: 01-05-24
A very disappointing book. Most of the narrative has nothing to do with the supposed topic.

We are living in the most moral period of our species’ history. Best-selling author Michael Shermer’s most accomplished and ambitious book to date demonstrates how the scientific way of thinking has made people, and society as a whole, more moral. Ever since the Age of Reason and the Enlightenment thinkers consciously applied the methods of science to solve social and moral problems.

Thoughtful but with some flaws
Revisado: 11-01-16
Shermer presents a survey of moral attitudes over time arguing, quite convincingly, that morals are improving with time and scientific advancement. There are chapters focusing on different topic areas tied together under the theme of a moral arc. While generally convincing to this listener, there are some flaws in his conclusions. For example, in the chapter on animal rights, the value of these magnificent sentient beings is laid out and the horror of factory farms pointed out. His conclusion, buy meat from local farms. As if that makes much of a difference to the exploited and killed animals. Shermer is behind the moral arc in that case.

His romantic weekend in ruins, shy 20-something artist Perry Foster learns that things can always get worse when he returns home from San Francisco to find a dead body in his bathtub. A dead body in a very ugly sportscoat - and matching socks. The dead man is a stranger to Perry, but that's not much of a comfort; how did a strange dead man get in a locked flat at the isolated Alton Estate in the wilds of the 'Northeast Kingdom' of Vermont? Perry turns to help from 'tall, dark and hostile' former navy SEAL Nick Reno.

Great murder mystery
Revisado: 03-19-13
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would totally recommend this book to friends as it is a good, old-fashioned (with a twist or two) murder mystery set in a crumbling mansion. The action (of all sorts!) proceeds at a nice pace, tension building to a great finish. The supporting characters add local color and this listener could really imagine himself at the scene of the action.
Which character – as performed by Max Miller – was your favorite?
I really liked Nick- everything you expect in a Navy Seal and more. Miller's acting (it's really more than just reading) is fantastic, accents and all. He captured the characters so well.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I would have loved to listen to this book in one sitting. However, I mostly listened during my public transit/walking commute to work. The story/performance made my daily commute fly by for a few days!
Any additional comments?
I will definitely look up more books by Josh Layton!
