This is a beautifully told story of redemption, forgiveness, kindness, love, and the amazing, freeing gift of remorse, the essential first part of what we who are Christians call repentance. It's not a Christian book - the quoted line is from a 70 year old grave marker - but the virtues Jesus commended are commended here, and for those of us who believe there can't be any truly happy ending without "the Lord", the grave marker line is a precious crumb: it indicates that the people whose ongoing, courageous love to Julian's grandmother, saving her life and making his possible, were not just believers, but believers indeed. This is a work of fiction, but the author poured a lot of truth into this book.

I haven't finished it yet, but I don't understand why McCullough is taking so long to get to Edith. I believe from other accounts that she was far more a part of Teddy's childhood than McCullough seems to want us to know. What's going on here? Was he prejudiced against her for some reason? I wish he were alive so I could take issue with him over this.

I applaud Walker-Brown's compassion and research, but the story is sad in its own right; no creepy, doleful music needed! Please! It wasn't just in the background; there were several pauses when it was JUST the music. I have no idea how I stayed with it. And since the description did give a heads-up on the content, perhaps it's not fair to mention this, but I found the title misleading. There are many wonderful and fascinating things to know and learn about the human brain, but this book isn't about them: it is about a horrible, preventable enemy of the beautiful brain.

Missing The Blessings and the Curses

Deuteronomy 28 is not between chapters twenty seven and twenty nine. I haven't listened to all 74 hours of this work yet, so I may run across it as randomly as I missed it, but it appears to be missing. To real Bible scholars, a different chapter of Deuteronomy might be considered more theologically indispensable, but to the average Bible-reading Christian Deuteronomy 28 is huge; skipping it would be something like leaving chapter 2 out of Luke or 23 out of the Psalms. I'm wondering, in fact, if the narrators were giving it special attention, i.e. with music or something, and inadvertently lost the very chapter they were trying to embellish. The good news is, almost everyone now knows that any given chapter can be found and listened to on any number of Bible apps; the bad news is, Audible (generally) keeps your place and lets you back up 30 seconds at a time. And while one's app may allow for notes and highlighting, they will obviously not be with the notes and clips from the rest of this important listen.

By the way, if y'all happen to fix that, can you let us know?

His language and presentation are just too coarse for me. If I'm to learn anything about brain surgery it will be from others; I don't plan to finish this.

Great reader. Amazing content. And I was never charged for it but don't know whom to thank.

I was afraid this book would scare me, but it's actually quite encouraging! Also, the reader is perhaps the best of all the Audible readers I've heard, and I've listened to over 70 titles.

I think I could have followed his outlines better with a print copy, but we listen to increase our mental capabilities, not pander them, right?

The title suggests an overview - a two hour class for adults who haven't been in a classroom for decades - covering the basic types of dinosaurs, when they lived and in what environment. Instead the above knowledge is assumed and several different specifics are discussed. It is interesting but disappointing in that respect.
