Superficial

Revisado: 11-27-24

I echo the sentiments of other reviewers with regard to the book being read by the author. Although it might be appropriate for an author to read his own work, a professional reader with a clearer voice and engaging delivery would have made this more enjoyable.
The story itself is superficial and choppy and does not delve into deeper character development. I almost felt like I was hearing an abridged version, but of course this was completely unabridged. Many obvious questions are left unanswered as the story unfolds, leaving the reader unfulfilled.

one of the best

Revisado: 01-02-24

very little needs to said about this book since it's place as an iconic 20th century novel is secure. one of the most enjoyable books I've ever read.

dark, depressing and thought-provoking

Revisado: 01-02-24

I used a credit for this version instead of the free audible version since the narration is better. Emily Bronte is a great writer and this book should be required reading for anyone interested in writing as a hobby or career. That said, the characters are all dysfunctional and unappealing. Heathcliff needed a good beat-down.

Something for everyone

Revisado: 01-02-24

This was an enjoyable book and my only criticism would be that any book discussing science is bound to eventually become dated it no updates are done. This book is nearly 20 years old and thus many areas don't reflect the most recent changes in the various disciplines covered in the book. Nevertheless, there is much to gain either as a review of information previously learned or uncovering new information from a branch of science not well-known to the reader. Since this book provides an overview of many different fields, it may provide the reader with enough incentive to explore another area in more depth, in my case with anthropology.

What happened to the editor?

Revisado: 11-02-23

The story of cotton could have been easily and interestingly told in about 4-6 hours but this 20 hour borefest was full of redundancy and dull content. The problem with the author is that he does not know who his audience is. Who does he think wants to hear the minutia that he dishes out? I stuck with it to the bitter end, but I don’t recommend it for others.

Dry but fascinating

Revisado: 11-02-23

This book reads like a dry technical manual, which is basically what it is, but it gives very good details about the whole process of getting to the moon and getting back to earth. Because it is so technically oriented however, it is not an easy read and if listening on audible, you need to have the book available to refer to the photographs for clarity.

Pure logic

Revisado: 11-02-23

This book is so good that my only regret is that the Audible presentation is abridged and thus we don’t get all of the stellar presentation unless you read it. Still what you do get is comprehensive, logical, and unequivocally persuasive.
No one with a rational mind, can read this tome, and think anything other than Oswald was a lone misanthrope with delusions of grandeur, and not somebody stable enough to be involved in a conspiracy.

Average

Revisado: 06-17-23

Nearly everyone reading this book, likely did so because they enjoy Kat on Gutfeld. So it was somewhat of a letdown completing this book because it wasn’t particularly insightful nor did it introduce any new revelations during these years of tumult and uncertainty. Chapter 5 was the notable exception.

Great writer and reader

Revisado: 05-24-23

Thoroughly enjoyable story, but I can see how he was somewhat tormented, and I have gained better insight as to why he might’ve ultimately committed suicide.

A pleasant read

Revisado: 04-29-23

This is a light read, and not really a biography but a collection of mini narratives covering the show or Alex’s life. He is the epitome of a gentleman, and I wanted to honor him and know a little bit more about him by choosing this book.
Ken does a nice job reading most of this book but I occasionally had to remind myself that the story was about Alex and not Ken since they are both equally familiar to me.
