Amazingly well written! Not Dry!

Revisado: 06-07-24

Before I get an actual text itself, I’d like to address that the performer needs a new microphone or training and how to remove his harsh S sound! Or perhaps he needs a new sound engineer.
For this reason alone, I gave him only three stars. Which is really sad felt like I was being talked to by a snake. However, how he tells the story and the amazing nature of the story itself maybe keep listening.

The discovery of Sodom is told from the perspective of the archaeologist and his search. The writer makes sure you understand how archaeologist think about what they’re looking for and looking at. My family has three nuclear engineers, one who worked at Los Alamos national laboratories. That made this search ultimately more fascinating in the investigative realm.

This is a must read for scientists, would be archaeologists, anyone interested in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah! Amazingly well written! Well done.

Scott Brick’s Emotion is Terrible

Revisado: 03-06-23

For many years I’ve listen to Scott Brick. He has navigated through many books. I love his voice, However his emotional performance here is awful. It actually makes it hard to hear the writers context. And I don’t like him making emotional choices for me. Sorry, Scott but this one failed.

Just started listening

The engineering of this reading did not do a good job cutting out the harsh “Sssss”.

It is so interesting that I am hoping I will stop being bothered by it.

Not the readers fault and there is no line to rate the technical recording.

To hard to follow the historical plot with so little character development in the first two hours.

Love's Labour's was Labor

Revisado: 07-02-13

What did you like best about Love's Labour's Lost? What did you like least?

Shakespeare of course. The recording is shrill and hard to discern at times. It needs some audio re-engineering.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Love's Labour's Lost?

The lords catching each other in their failures...quite funny. I need more Shakespeare in my life.

Would you be willing to try another one of the narrators’s performances?

I do not know.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

yes

Any additional comments?

I do not think I will listen to this recording again as it was so difficult to listen to.

Great and grave insight!

Revisado: 07-02-13

Would you consider the audio edition of A Time to Betray to be better than the print version?

Did not read the print.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Time to Betray?

Reza finding his friends in prison and the woman who told him her story of exploitation.

Which character – as performed by Richard Allen – was your favorite?

Reza of course. He gives the audience perspective and understanding of his slice of Iranian life. I cringed at the brutality, cried at the injustice and fear the replication
of the ideals of the Iranian government over their people. Reza is a human and heroic man!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I was the one I DID listen to in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

I am old enough to remember these events from the news. I am old enough to be concerned that the same words that Iatola Komani used to gain election are the same words that US leaders used in 2008 and 2012. I pray we are not headed down the same path. Are we going to repeat this history in our nation or learn from it? You decide.

Hiroshima Uncovered

Revisado: 07-02-13

What made the experience of listening to The Last Train from Hiroshima the most enjoyable?

I usually listen to audiobooks while gardening. I started Last Train to Hiroshima on a day when I had a massive amount to do. This book was so compelling that I got it all done and then some! I could not stop listening. I am a child of the Nuclear age. I worked for a woman who lived through the second blast. She was one of the children how hid in a cave and she was young enough to be so scared she stayed in there for a while after the blast. But I honestly did not comprehend what she walked out of that cave in to until now.Last Train to Hiroshima is well written and well read. It gave me a long needed perspective on the destructive capability of the bombs and the lives of those who were in it.

What other book might you compare The Last Train from Hiroshima to and why?

This book has no comparison. The author's marriage of understanding and compassion with honesty and hindsight is unique. He leaves you to the experience without his opinion making me live more intensely in the moment of their lives. Thus I will never be the same.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book took me aback, stopped my heart in several places. I did not want to cry but could not help myself. It left me with the question which of these people would I most resemble if it happened again?

Any additional comments?

This should be standard reading for all college modern History, International Relations majors and all in the nuclear industry.
