Could not finish the book

Revisado: 06-27-24

The American accents in this narration are unbearable, over the top caricatures. I had to stop before finishing chapter 3.

Very well explained without higher math

Revisado: 03-26-23

The author/professor explains the topics very well with resorting to higher math, making these topics more accessible to a larger non-math audience. The presentations are engaging and clear.

Good theory descriptions for lay person

Revisado: 01-10-23

I appreciate the simplified explanation of these theories.
But, the attempts at humor are distracting as are the footnotes.
I'd also like to see this content updated with more recent discoveries (Highs Boson, for example).
There are also a few times were I sense the performance is being done on auto-pilot, without really engaging with the content.

Still a classic story

Revisado: 10-24-13

This is still a classic story. Fantastic action and espionage sequences.
The only complaint is the number of 'Southern U.S.' accents in the performance: they all sound like Forrest Gump.
I definitely recommend giving this audiobook a listen.

Great story, very good performance

Revisado: 11-26-12

This is a classic story that stands the test of time. This is an adventure and a story about the courage to do what's right in the face of overwhelming odds. But, it is also definitely a story about strength of friendship.

If you like political thrillers,this is a good one

Revisado: 06-08-12

If you like political thrillers, this is a good one. The series continues from where Imperium left off and leaves me excited for the next installment in the series.

The author provides a lot of detail from historical names and places in the later days of Roman history. Much better than the average historical fiction novels.

Good spy hunt story, a little dated

Revisado: 06-08-12

If you are a fan of spy-hunt novels, this is definitely a good one. Keep in mind it was written a few decades ago, so some of the content is going to be dated. That should not keep you from enjoying this novel.

Compelling, humorous story and great performance

Revisado: 05-17-12

This is a great story about the evolution of the English language. The author clearly loves the language and revels in its adaptability and flexibility.

He reviews major players that have influenced the language: Tyndale, Wycliffe, King James, Shakespeare.

If you are interested in understanding the English Language, then this is definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Compelling Story, Excellent Performance

Revisado: 05-17-12

An excellent story of a 'reluctant' lawyer-politician in ancient Rome, similar to John Adams from American History.

The main character seems to be continually on the verge of defeat only to pull off a masterful recovery.

We are given foreshadowing hints that these victories are leading to a dark, and possibly destructive, path.

Don't bother unless you want to be angry

Revisado: 04-21-12

Don't bother unless you want to be angry. I listened to the first five minutes and the only content was profanity-laced tirades against everyone around the author.

Perhaps there are some redeemding moments later in the book, but I could not make it through the self-loathing and seething hate evinced in the first few minutes.

This isn't a book about the CIA as much as it is a book about the things that make the author angry.
