The Little People

Revisado: 03-15-25

It t is hard to get past the politics.The stop over in South Africa was amazing. where the author tells us about the virtues of apartheid and how the kind Afrikaners generously provide jobs for the Africans. To see the native peoples as his children is also over the top. In addition the idea of what it means to be a Christian is a bit much . Aside from the politics the story line is disjointed and does not go deeply into the areas where it would be most interesting. This does not take away from the great service and patriotism of the author whom we should all honor.

It could have been so much more. Instead of dealing with the protagonist in a clear coherent manner the book jumped around trying to fill up space with simplistic historical facts. Prepare to be bored.

Verbosity

Attempting to finish up all of Eliot's writings I listened to this In the public domain book ( which they broadcast after each chapter) . In this book Eliot has nothing to describe and no plot to follow. Her thoughts and mind starts to wonder and never stops. She gets more convoluted as she attempts to follow an idea. The only person that should be exposed to this book should have been Eliot herself in a private domain of one

The song song style of the narrator distracts from the presentation.The book would have been enhanced with more in depth examples instead
of focusing on obscure authors .

like brother Henry the use of language to create a jungle of words that one has to hack through to get at the meaning is distracting..Henry however unlike his brother can create beautiful mental images. Long unwieldy quotes, a narrator who has a sing song style who can not pronounce foreign languages makes this audiobook all but unlistenable.

It is sad that such a compelling story is told so poorly. The Nazi criminals are portrayed as cartoon caricatures. The story often drifts into tangential sidetracks. It is padded and verbose as well as preachy. I counted the minutes until it finally ended!

Another production where Hollywood ”actors” can pretend to be serious and get psychological gratification from the applause of a clueless audience The overacting is distracting. It is embarrassing.

Would make a good middle school text book. The over arching theme could have been more tightly presented. There was no conclusion. It just ended as it had begun, an unending statement of facts. It could have been so much more.

I think Chekhov would have been surprised at how many comic scenes he wrote. The affected laughter, as well as the overacting was annoying and distracting. Only in Hollywood
