Essential Modernist piece

Revisado: 03-02-24

This is an eloquently narrated novel that challenges traditional structure while commenting on the absurdity of certain parts of culture in the 20th century.

Important modernist novel inhibited by narration.

Revisado: 02-03-24

Like the introduction states, I listened to this novel because I had only knew of its importance. I was unable to engage in the text, largely due to the narration. The narrators voice would be perfect for a documentary, or anything that required a reporting of facts. I found myself listening at 1.5x speed to attempt to stay engaged

Exquisite Narration

Revisado: 01-21-24

This a must-read satire of the issue of race in the United States. Many of the concepts brought forth are still relevant today. The narrator maintains a brilliant performance throughout the novel and maintains engagement throughout.

A Captivating Tale of Systemic Failure

Revisado: 12-19-23

This is one of the most eloquent depictions of history I have ever read/listened to. The book takes an unbiased approach to garner truths of the middle eastern conflict during WWI. Additionally, provides an excellent analysis on the thought process and decisions of many of the key players which shaped history.

A dark and complex journal entry

Revisado: 10-09-23

This story requires attention to detail as it is essentially a repetitive series of journal entries/ a confession of despair. If it is approached within that context, it will be thoroughly enjoyed, but if not, it will seem confusing, repetitive and having no plot.

The performance was spectacular. The narrator’s voice entailed the emotion that was present and emphasis on certain words painted a vivid picture of the world of which the protagonist lived.

Great book to listen to searching for the answers

Revisado: 09-29-23

I think this book should be required reading/listening for every service member/ first responder. As a member of both communities, I have frequently struggled with many of the concepts brought forth in this text. The narrative is incredible, the lessons learned are down to earth and will provide introspection to anyone who has had any amount of adversity in their life.

This is not the typical “war hero, team guy book” this is a live look in to the struggles of a person in a certain profession and how to overcome them.

An even more thrilling sequel

Revisado: 03-30-22

I listened to this shortly after finishing reading Dances with Wolves. The initial story was about a man learning a new way of life and finding purpose. This story is about the death of that way of life.

Great perspective book

Revisado: 07-14-21

As Americans, we constantly fantasize about stories of the old west. This is the book that puts them together. Most people have heard the names of these frontier legends, but do not truly understand the reality of their perilous lives and their role in developing the western frontier in the first half of the 19th century. I would highly recommend this to anyone willing to learn about our development as a nation.
