Well written as usual.

It is dark, as the author said in his intro. But dark is what all encompassing disasters are, whether natural or man made. He brings out the inmate will to survive that has always been part of the human psyche, which I hope will survive modernity.

Too one sided.

Revisado: 09-28-22

Too many lies of omission and outright bias to go into detail with. Suffice it to say, that it sounds like something one would expect in leftovers from WWII Nazis with the antisemitism bias, innuendo and flagrant abuse of truth. I’ve tried twice to listen to it, but each time have grown so disgusted that I couldn’t finish it. 10:49 seconds left but I’m done with it.

A book every citizen should get.

The last paragraph sums up so very much about then and now. A warning all need to heed.

This adaptation slaughtered the book & characters. Don’t waste your money.

Revisado: 07-09-22

If the mispronunciations weren’t bad enough, most of the female characters sounded worse than 12 year old valley girls from the 80’s. Even though the background sound effects transport one’s mind into the story, they don’t overcome the basic fact that the other narrations are truer to the books and better all around. I got all three adaptations with mixed feelings, hoping for better…didn’t happen. Adaptations are poor with the exception of the narrator who did a fair job in spite of slaughtering many pronunciations. A basic knowledge of Irish and French languages would have helped before fumbling so badly. Hard to enjoy a book when you’re cringing with so many mispronunciations & voices too childish to be believable in the age group they’re trying to portray.

Very inaccurate background.

Revisado: 04-19-22

I was raised in Anaconda, MT. The history of the area given is completely wrong while the cultural history is somewhat correct. The author is describing Butte, a neighboring city. So you have to wonder how much more did the author get wrong or not research thoroughly? The story itself is entertaining, narration good. But if there’s misrepresentation of one part, is the rest accurate? Judge for yourselves.

The narrator ruins a good story.

Revisado: 12-23-21

Please get back to the original narrator. When the “voices” of the different people are used, versus straight narration, I want to shut off the book. Whomever is doing the other voices ruined the book.

Too much pornography

Revisado: 04-09-21

Good plot, but the sexual descriptions take away any joy of the mystery. A real shame.

Narrator over dramatic

Revisado: 02-10-21

Wonderful story that answers multiple questions. But the narration almost kills the book. Her voice is lovely, but tone down the drama, please! I wasn’t impressed by the over the top hysterics. It made listening difficult. Otherwise perfect voice for narration.

It’s already just short of here.

Not sure I agree with the logic of how he got there, but could not agree more with most of his conclusions. The left want to force feed us their progressively bad ideas of putting the world and small groups ahead of the whole, the very people whose taxes they want for everyone but those who’ve earned the wages. (If THAT is not slavery, I don’t know what else you’d call it.) I suspect the force feeding we’ve received since this book was written is the preamble to more intense actions to come...with its inevitable result of violence. This is my greatest fear. But with the degree of irreconcilable differences between the 2 main groups of Americans, I don’t see how it can continue. A spark is inevitable.

Major error

Revisado: 02-05-21

This stated that Richard did not have any skeletal deformity. Not true. His skeleton was discovered in the last century with what is referred to as a “Dowager’s Hump.” It’s a more “modern” term for hunchback.
