One of the best books I have read this year

Revisado: 09-09-21

Obviously, the stories in this book vary in quality, but they are mostly gripping and beautiful. I felt about four of the stories were true masterpieces and I enjoyed them tremendously. The most gripping and beautiful story is the title name sake, 'the paper menagerie' which in my opinion is one of the best stories I have EVER read. It took my breath away and my mind froze for a good while. It left an imprint on my mind that I will not forget. Beautifully done. Thank you.

An old man bragging about his good life

Revisado: 09-09-21

I found this book to be mostly a combination of crime porn mixed with an old man bragging about his good work, good family, and good life. I did this and I did that, and my son is this and my daughter is that, and my wife is smart, and we had a great life, blah blah.
To be fair, it was my own fault, picking up this book. I should have known this by the way the title of the book is phrased. "I will find you". i.e. I am good, I do good work and I can do this and I can do that... a lot of bragging, but little to learn from the stories.
If you like hearing old people telling you stories about their glorious past life, this is for you. Otherwise, skip it and read something more educational.

Narrator could be better.

Revisado: 07-15-21

The narrator narrates as if he is doing a TV commercial. So much commercial enthusiasm goes into the work. All that's missing is the dramatic music. :D

Good contents, poor performance

Revisado: 01-08-21

This an excellent book by Mr. Hitchens. Unfortunately, the author made the mistake of reading the book himself for the audible. His voice has ups and downs, and it is virtually impossible to listen to it and immerse in the book, specially when you are in your car driving, as I often am. I wish they would have a professional narrator read the book and re-record it. Although I feel this is a must read for everyone, but not in the audible format.

good book, but a lot of unnecessary rant.

Revisado: 03-05-18

This would have been a better book if it was devoid of nonstop ranting against everyone the author does not agree with, and that is pretty much everyone in the academia and scientific community. Rant rant rant.... it gets boring. Overall, the message of the book is, however, clearly valid.

History relived, good account of what happened.

Revisado: 09-26-16

I felt this was a reasonably good account of what historically happened. Overall a good book. But, the imitation of people's accent by the narrator was over the top and distracting. I would have much preferred it if it was read normally without the accent imitations.
