An immensely personal memoir

Revisado: 08-16-24

One of our true treasures of literature opens a window into his personal journey with the unjustifiable violence that comes with lunatic ideology and does so with such grace, humility and humor, it is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Thank you, Mr. Rushdie. I can’t wait to purchase your next book!

Elegance and Excellence

Revisado: 12-14-22

I’ve enjoyed Santana since I was a kid. Watching Carlos play inspired my journey on the guitar and the quest for a tome that connects the head through the heart to the soul. Hearing Carlos talk about his journey is an example of seeking a grateful life and living fully.

A dream of an audio experience

Revisado: 12-14-22

Gaiman really never disappoints me, but the production of The Sandman series on Audible is unique to storytelling. I’m a little too young to remember huddling around the radio waiting for War of the Worlds or the Jack Benny Show. I expect this is and will be as close as it gets to that feeling. It is the gold standard. Good on you all if you enjoy the triumvirate of Graphic Novel, Audible presentation and Netflix adaptation. Frustratingly good.

I'm constantly amazed

Revisado: 11-03-21

Over the years, I have developed a healthy appreciation for the razor sharp, creative, impish mind of Neil Gaiman. I try to enjoy a broad range of authors, but a new work by Mr. Gaiman never ceases to peak my interest and very, very rarely disappoints. That said, I can't imagine what it must be to propose converting a graphic concept piece, like The Sandman, into a spoken word work of art. That's just what has happened in this offering. Thankfully for all of us who chose to spend our 13 hours in thie variety of worlds created by these talented people. I have to imagine that each and every one of these A list actors chuckled softly to themselves, quietly acknowledging that this is why they chose to do what they do. Gaiman is likely the pinnacle of creative minds to me, who has, once again, crafted a timeless gem. The actors were masterful. It kind of makes me think what it must have felt like for my relatives, before tv, huddling around the radio for a new installment of their favorite show. It's just so good! I want to bottle Neil Gaiman's psyche and love of mythology and sprikle it in my morning coffee. I couldn't have liked it more. Now, I want them to craft a graphic novel so I can see how my dream gets interpreted again and again. This might rival American Gods and that's saying a whole lot!

A decent listen

Revisado: 06-21-05

This was a decent distraction and a brief glimpse into the mindset of dedicated martial arts training. The story is a bit predictable and the reader's use of accents is laughable at times. Even though, the story has a pretty good pace and is worth a listen if you are a martial artist or have some interest in basic martial philosophy.
