Relatable

Revisado: 02-15-21

Helpful, relatable overview. Learned a lot and enjoyed doing it. Anecdotes made this stickier. Would recommend.

Disappointing

Revisado: 05-02-20

I appreciate that Audible is bringing out more productions with full cast, score, and sound design. Some are good, but this is a miss.

Strong reasoning, smooth narration

Revisado: 01-16-20

This uses sound logic. Also, I like this narrator (I have another book with him).

Buy it.

Revisado: 08-15-19

Just get this book. You’ll appreciate it. You probably need it; most people do. Don’t be a doomer. Be a stoic instead. You’ll never spend a credit better.

Low-energy narration, questionable pronunciation

Revisado: 11-20-18

The narrator is far more lethargic than would seem best for an action novel. Having heard all the Grey Man novels, I find the contrast marked and unfortunate, as the source material is stylish. This book's narrator is British, which is, of course, desirable, but may be the cause of at least one pronunciation that seems curious. I am only a novice with guns, but I've always heard .40 caliber (calibre in the book, naturally) simply pronounced "forty caliber" or "forty cal;" the narrator says "point-four-oh calibre." Maybe the narrator's pronunciation is the right one for England (I live in the USA), but if not it seems like a glaring error for a book where guns are so important as to almost be characters. This is especially true for the iconic Walthers, notwithstanding that in Carte Blanche, for the first time, Bond carries a .40 Walther PPS instead of the PPK helped to fame by its appearance in most of the Bond films.

Changed my life

Revisado: 09-02-18

Partly because of this book I chose a molecular and cellular grad program. I am inspired. Via sync, I’ve gone through the print and audio versions several times and will do more. It’s a favorite. Get it, or get the Kindle version for just 99 cents and then add the audio, as you’ll often want to jump on a device, see passages, and search to see more for yourself. IV is the bleeding edge; the first clean meat conference was just two weeks ago. Get this.

Imperfect but provocative

Revisado: 08-06-18

A lot of potentially great ideas. A few errors somewhat undermine the authors' credibility, but overall it's fantastic.

Turned out to be virtuosic.

Revisado: 07-06-18

It’s a bold story, but what puts it among the best is the performance. Get it.

Disappointing, but with potential.

Revisado: 05-24-18

The narrator reads entire urls and tables (and he also often reads elements by their abbreviations instead of just saying their names), although he has a listenable voice and perfect delivery. Reading tables and urls fluffs the already-minimal content; beyond the fluff, there is probably only about 3 hours of content, which isn't enough to merit paying a credit. However, that content is incisive and helpful. The author has good insight, so I would love it if she updated and expanded this book and/or created more chemistry audiobooks (such as on biochemistry), and I would probably buy them.

One of the best credits I've spent!

Revisado: 01-28-18

I have no connection to this person; I just love his stuff. I hate that I've heard almost all of this, but after I've finished I'm going to listen to it again. Each part is immersive, like movie scenes, but also illustrative of various larger points. And I see that the same person has three other titles on Audible, so I'll probably check out some or all of those. The only reason I didn't give this five overall stars is that it doesn't promote the political positions I do, but for what it aims to do it couldn't be much better.
