Interesting point of view

I am enjoying the series for its perspective on different sentient beings. Murderbot deals with common and unique problems of community.

For a narrow niche audience

Revisado: 01-24-24

I appreciate the honest discussion of critical issues for liberal /"Liahona"/ open/questioning members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ( Mormons).

This book may be helpful for folk of the fringe and borderland dissidents & rationalists trying to resolve cognitive dissonance over Church culture (groupthink), history, and policy. The chapter essays present common problems & ways some individuals have managed to cope with those issues. None of the writers claims to offer a simple / single answer whether to maintain affiliation or leave the LDS Church.

I found all of the essays interesting, sympathetic, and thought provoking.
I recommend this (audio)book to any Church member who has experienced discomfort, sorrow, or indignation over official Church policies or disappointment / pain from LDS cultural norms which may have marginalized them or loved ones.

I guardedly recommend this book for local Church leaders who want to better understand members who have concerns / doubts about retaining their Church membership. Any Mormon bishop or stake president who reads or listens to this book should have "thick skin" and not be easily offended by honest discussion of different viewpoints & difficult issues.

Reconsider with a open mind

Revisado: 01-04-23

A clear explanation of the pervasive probem of binary ( black & white) thinking and related cognitive biases / fallacies.

An important book that can benefit most readers by encouraging careful, critical, divergent, thinking and cognitive flexibility.

Well narrated by the author. I recommend this book highly for all readers.

Ought to required reading & discussed by all high school and college students.

Another satisfying adventure

Revisado: 09-01-22

I have enjoyed every book in this series. This story is another example of a well crafted mystery featuring an ensemble cast of characters led by Sam Acquillo, former engineer, former executive, and part time investigator trying to live a quiet life.

Remarkably engaging

Revisado: 01-04-22

I got this book as a deal of the day. My wife and I have been listening to it when we're in the car together and for a few minutes each evening. This is an amazing memoir reflecting on so many aspects of American culture, education, family dynamics, and race relations. I am glad that I took a chance on this audiobook. It's terrifically enjoyable and edifying.
