King seemed a bit distracted

Revisado: 08-25-22

While this story had some supernatural horror and gore, I think it was missing some of the rationale, why was this monster there in the first place and how did it fit into the history of the mind. I was missing that explanation. Good character development but got kind of lost in the details after a while. The ending was somewhat unsatisfactory and lacking some of the tying up of loose ends about the characters.

The end is unworthy of the rest of the story

Revisado: 11-21-21

Great characters, dialogue, points of view.
The end was unnecessarily abrupt and unsatisfactory. It was like my essays in the sixth grade. When I got tired of writing, I quit with no real ending. There was so much potential. Unless there’s a sequel. Hint. Hint.

So unprofessional

Revisado: 03-10-17

This "book" is more of a poorly-written brochure. The syntax suggests it was written in another language and poorly translated into English or that it was written by a non-native speaker in English. There were many examples of using a singular noun instead of a plural and without an article such as "a" or "the."

The narrator was good except for bursting into laughter at one point and mispronouncing words. When referring to lead ("led") poisoning, he pronounced it lead ("leed"). Yes, these things really happened.

The content of this book was repetitive and cited outdated references and didn't include anything that you couldn't find in a pamphlet in your doctor's waiting room but if lower quality.

Thanks for the refund, Audible. I'm only out the time on my morning commute.

manifesto of independence through selfcenteredness

Revisado: 01-11-16

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No. I'm sure it's helpful, but most helpful to the author who wrote it.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Least interesting was her frequent name-dropping. That's not a sign of true greatness. She has good insight into her inferiority complex, but should stick to fictional characters.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

no

Any additional comments?

Shonda is a successful TV writer, but her story isn't compelling or exemplary.

Old man lives.

Can't really compare this to any book I've read.

Any additional comments?

As an older man, I could relate to this curmudgeon. Scandinavian style, redeeming ending.

Simon is always good at narration

intriguing, but not that scary

Revisado: 01-11-16

Any additional comments?

The antagonist/villain in this book wasn't all-out evil and, in the end, was a victim of the dark side. Not so scary, but great character development.

could be cut by 2/3

Revisado: 01-11-16

Would you try another book from Eric Greitens and/or Eric Greitens?

probably not

What about Eric Greitens’s performance did you like?

His feeling and meaning come through perfectly because he wrote it.

Did Resilience inspire you to do anything?

to wish it would be over soon

Any additional comments?

This book began to get repetitive. If it were pared down to 1/3 the length, it would be just right.

Bryson is missing in action

Revisado: 11-10-15

I was looking for the old Bryson, the humorist and thought I would see humor coming through in his explanation of scientific history. Not so. While he has clearly done his research and has an interest in the subject, I found that his treatment was rather dry and detailed. The title is the most humorous thing about it.
