Modern Day Intro to Hecate

Revisado: 03-13-24

Whereas I found the information very useful, the narrator's style is grating on the nerves, and the narrow range of expression through the entire book at times is maddening, since no matter the subject the treatment is the same. That said, the information in here is comprehensive for all levels of experience and I do recommend it for anyone who wants to work with or know about this Goddess.

Lots of background, stunning clarity

Revisado: 05-09-23

Trying to understand why our country has lost its mind, I listened to this book. The author seemingly gives anecdotes that are extraneous, but stick with it, she's laying groundwork and explaining her conclusions, it's well worth the wait. I'm buying the physical book so I can refer to it and use it to counter the arguments of those who don't bother informing themselves about the direction that our country is headed in.

Nero's competition for worst emperor

Revisado: 01-17-23

No American politician in this book is spared the cold eye of history. But then no American politician has been Trump before. In this book Painter compares Trump to Nero and all the other politicos who have abused their power. But one thing is clear: Trump is the worst offender. Unless he is stopped he will ruin us all.

Very personal with global importance

In our time of rising authoritarianism how do you stand up to the lies fueling power that wants only to control the narrative and thereby control *you?* Maria Ressa shows us how because she's already done it. At times fast Forwarded but never bypassing her message and her methods. This book stays in my library and gives me hope

good story but technical issue

Revisado: 08-04-22

This is the usual Pratchett humor as 3 witches try to save a kingdom. Worth listening to, but the volume of the recording varies so much that I went from turning the volume down to turning it up and holding it against my ear! The narrator does a wonderful job but somehow this problem was overlooked.

Most enjoyable of the series

Revisado: 07-28-22

I love the Falco novels but this one has the funniest bits, partly because it takes place during Saturnalia. It has its grim parts, but overall Chris Rodska's narration makes the story come to life. Watch out for 6-foot turnips!

gloomier than the others

Revisado: 06-08-22

This one wraps up some persistent loose ends in a very satisfactory way, but is possibly only matched by the first book for violence. Then again, what else can you expect from a serial killer?

hilarious and serious

Revisado: 03-02-22

I have listened to this twice now and it's still captivating. The beginning of Tiffany Aching's journey as a Witch of the Chalk, the Wee Free Men at times assist and at others make a nuisance of themselves, but always make me want to yell "crivens!" and root for Tiffany's success.

not judgemental but explanatory, an excellent overview of the entire history of the slave trade including how slaves were obtained, from where and by whom

A Way to understand Evangelical Misogyny

Revisado: 01-21-22

Takes too long to get to its point. but in doing so gives us a window into the lives of Southern Baptist women, and by extension into many other denominations. Very enlightening and worth the patience.
