Continuation

Revisado: 10-30-18

Excellent on all accounts including the narration. I only wish the tile from the same author covering the manufacturer Ukrainian famine, which is referenced in this book at least 3 times, were available from audible.

And if it were so I’d recommend the same narrator be used!

For the lay person

Revisado: 03-01-18

I was interested in this due to the subject matter. Given that the author is a physicist, and those sorts of researchers are always searching for “unified theories”, I gave it a shot. I found the story to be a good perspective as an outsiders, e.g. physicist, sojourn into other disciplines. While most researchers do not do so, I am glad that the author shares his candor as to the glaring intellectual holes in other fields which his book seeks to explore and fill. However, where the book dwindled in my eyes was in the writing. While the subject matter was interesting in parts, and it clearly written by a research, as many of my PhD and MD PhD colleagues would talk, the substance of the work drags on at times to the point of tedium in a hopes of conveying a rather basic concept. Simply put, there is belaboring a point, and then there is meandering. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a global perspective into the interconnected nature of what science used to be, before specialization became in vogue...and for that I hold this work and its author in my esteem

To what am I even listening?

Revisado: 02-07-18

I was referred to this book by a contemporary author who espoused that this work was a classic. A title which was widely read in its time, and which discussed a well organized society of intellectualism. After listening the to the entire book, in which the narrator did a great job, I still have no idea the point of this work. It’s a long description of minutia. There is a bare thread plot, and while I’m sure it was quite a work of “adventure “ for its time, I cannot think of a single positive lesson, narrative, nor idea espoused in this work. My apologies that I spent the time!

Intense

Revisado: 09-07-17

Goes into the minutia of European politics and conflict. It's a pity the book which precedes this one doesn't exist on audible. I highly recommend this book!

Well put

Revisado: 08-10-17

Dull topic expressed with a rather extensive examination of the interconnecting issues st play, much the the infrastructure itself. I would highly recommend

Good place to start

Revisado: 07-28-17

This phone is mostly in history with the basic overview of what coding is and is not for this language. I know it is hard to present a coding book it in audio format. I would like to see the next chapter in the series as Facebook alone does not give enough detail for a person to really start coding in one hour

Truly a masterpiece

Revisado: 06-02-17

I have never read a book which I felt should be reread until I found "the forgotten soldier". Once you've read it you will understand too.

Terrible

Revisado: 05-20-17

Stunningly uninteresting story, and I'm used to long dry stories. I'm so disappointed. Story currently said (I'm paraphrasing) "he was a drinking companions but was cocky when it came to politics", about a minor person who said something to someone who has nothing to do with anything. And the entire story goes this way and I'm 3 hours in!

Needs video

Revisado: 03-18-17

I have a PhD in Chemistry with a minor in Math and physics. Although I understand what is said, without seeing the math which is being written, which Feynman is relying on heavily, it's very hard to follow AT ALL what the topic is at many points. I found this lecture on YouTube and will watch it there, with video, and given this limitation I find it shameful audible charges $10-$15 per part...for all 15 parts. This is the first audible product which I have been truly dissatisfied with and I'm a heavy user

Great

Revisado: 02-14-17

The book is very informative and I would highly recommend that you read this book. but my only complaint is that it drags on in certain chapters beating a dead horse which is very obvious after the first three paragraphs of what you're trying to say but I don't feel the teacher and the rest of the chapter to finish the thought.
