one side of the story

Revisado: 03-04-24

I think it is important to hear from this side of the Fault Line. Even after reading this book, I am not convinced that Baucham is achieving the right balance to strike on issues of racial unity. I am convinced that CRT is a dangerous idea with Marxist roots. How to promote (and prioritize) racial unity and reconciliation, but do so while avoiding getting accused of employing CRT by Baucham, Ascot, MacArthur, et al.... that's another question.

too scattered...no offens3

Revisado: 01-13-23

Fine content, just no epicenter. Easy read, but it's all over the place. Apparently a book about being unoffendable is a book about everything.

Read for cultural relevancy

Revisado: 12-19-22

H.G. Wells is not my favorite author, but this dystopia came recommended. It was worth the time I spent on it, but not more. It's pretty forgettable, not the cultural touchstone of other entries in the genre.

Good for a diversion, but that's it

Revisado: 12-12-22

Jack Higgins is to WW2 Europe what Louis L'Amour is to western, churned out a lot of readable, shoot 'em up stories, the differences between which get blurry the more of them you read. This one was okay, but quite predictable. One nice little twist at the very end.

Not narrated by George Guidall

Revisado: 09-19-22

Terrible version. Misrepresented as narrated by George Guidall but it is either sped up or not actually narrated by him.

Excellent!

Revisado: 08-06-22

Masterfully written, and masterfully read and performed! I was getting close to guessing the perp by the end, but it was still a surprise. Just excellent!

A worthwhile listen

Revisado: 01-19-22

I am a fan of the dystopian science fiction genre, so I'm not hard to please. I did enjoy the world that the author created. The conflicts were believable, and the characters were somewhat well-developed. There was a lot of brutalism, a lot of violence, a lot of bruises (it seemed like Tris was almost never free from bruises or soreness), and maybe that's par for the Dauntless course, but it seemed overplayed. Not for the squeamish. But I never lost interest in the story, and it held me all the way to the end.

Great for history and philosophy geeks

Revisado: 06-03-21

Oversold to me, but very insightful. By the end of the book, I felt like I had a much better understanding of the transgender movement and the sexual revolution more broadly. I was never fully informed how the historic ideas of the elites made the jump into the modern cultural imaginary of American street walkers, but okay. I'll buy the argument.
