Some still profit from Nazi inhumanity

Revisado: 04-22-25

Incredible story, well researched and written, about indelible corruption from Nazis profits that continue to tarnish our society today. How can perfidy go unpunished, un-repaid, and even unacknowledged after all these years, save but a few who have inherited massive wealth? If a grandparent who died long ago truly doesn’t matter and everyone should simply move on, then those, with inherited wealth who say that, should give it away and move on. See if it a grandparent’s existence truly has no lingering effect today.

Rich portrayal of the human experience

Revisado: 02-08-25

Mesmerizing characters. I felt like Mr. Okri was leading me through plots and cities I’d never before experienced. I knew I’d be safe and that the journey would be worth taking.

Gripping plot

Revisado: 08-01-24

Narrator got the character personalities great. The plot and characters were a bit like Agatha Christie. As did this book, I like when books portray a range of relationships including healthy relationships, nuanced perspectives and underlying motivations, using theory of mind.

Gets better with every listen

Revisado: 09-16-23

Insightful and poignant portrayal of a childhood influenced by the creative depictions of Miss Brodie’s worldview in between the world wars. The layers of irony, humor and humanity are exposed with each listen. A Spark of brilliance.

Great content and narration

Revisado: 06-06-23

Comprehensive, well researched and well written book. I almost didn’t get it because someone else said they didn’t like the narration, but I appreciated the narrator’s tone, cadence and assumption of appropriate characterizations when reading quotes. I tend to listen to nonfiction at 1.2 speed, maybe that made a difference. I learned that open communication with sometimes small or questionable concerns between different people and groups, with someone tracking and putting all the info together, could develop a more accurate portrayal of someone’s threat risk.

Exceptional work collecting and analyzing current knowledge on this tragic topic.

Revisado: 06-05-23

I appreciate your ability to sort out and present such an incomprehensible topic thus providing a framework with which to be able to conceptualize, discuss and hopefully one day to prevent. Your website is brilliant. Thank you for raising awareness and providing evidence.

Excellent explanation of totalitarianism and attachment

Revisado: 05-28-22

I love the personal stories interwoven with attachment theory, for a comprehensive and understandable explanation of how attachment theory and assessment can create trauma bonds and reveal continued unresolved traumas. Being able to recognize the underlying mechanics of totalitarian/coercive dynamics is crucial to having that ‘Ah-ha’ realization and running the other way, and protecting/ advocating for the safety of possible vulnerable children within.

I love the book and narrator

Revisado: 04-23-22

I could not stop “Dostoevsky in Love” until it was over. Significant experiences and relationships throughout Dostoevsky’s life are presented so that they are both interesting on their own as well as interwoven to create a rich portrayal of Dostoevsky. My awareness of the man, his life and works have been gratefully and immeasurably enhanced. The narrator is wonderful.
