es-*KA*-tology

how in the WORLD does this man think that it's pronounced "eshhh-atology"? how does that happen?? this man has a PhD in anthropology and he doesn't know how the word "eschatology" is pronounced??? i can't decide if it's driving me crazy enough to stop listening..... it's sort of fine otherwise and half of what everyone else has said is true.

"snotty" reading

Revisado: 03-03-23

Michael Heiser was a damn interesting Biblical scholar with some crucial insights. i'm sad that it's now "was" instead of "is"......... i have no idea why this narrator affects this bizarre, snotty tone throughout. it's *really* off-putting.

this term gets overused,...

Revisado: 08-29-22

...but the narration is simply BIZARRE.

some other things are also bizarre about other aspects of this product. so if you happen to be a pothead with an incredibly long attention span....

the feller reading REALLY lays into it. it's almost more of a one man show than a reading---which i loved.

whew, the OPINIONS

Revisado: 12-22-21

nicely written again from this Paul Strathern character, but WOW (again) is it just way too overly opinionated to be a good overview of Wittgenstein. his gawl damned OPINIONS make it sort of more fun than it would be otherwise, as his snark comes with real wit, ..... but DAMMIT it does NOT make for a great overview of a great mind's being and doings ..... this one's better than his crapping all over Hegel tho.

ka-BOOM

Revisado: 11-21-20

i don't know how to title this dumb review. the book is, obviously, brilliant. nuf said. the reading is good and clear and charming and all that, *BUT* ... just for one thing, when Colin Farrell is speaking for the characters who are (admittedly) not a lot more than foils for our friend Stephen Dedalus, he tends to make them sound like stupider, crass-er, even less-dimensional beings than they should .... and when he's delivering more direct thoughts or lines from Stephen Dedalus himself, Colin Farrell tends to make them sound more ethereal or distant or loftily detached than they need to be .... or something ...... but eh. it eas still an excellent way to take in this book!

another good one from this series

Revisado: 11-07-20

i really liked how you could hear Charlton Heston *inhaling* throughout the reading. they seem to either edit or coach that out of other readers' performances. you might think it would be irritating, but i found it endearing. i also love how they use different actors for the source quotes. this is an excellent series of brief survey books. way better than the '...In 90 Minutes' books!!!
