Surprise!!!... It's a political piece.

Revisado: 01-05-25

While I was really into the historical information, I didn't come to this book/lecture looking for something to shape my modern day political views. Regardless if I do agree with them, or not, it's a pretty slimy tactic to take.

I have really enjoyed a lot of these series, but this is a major turn off for me. I do not care which "side" of the political spectrum you are trying to push, but neither are welcome.

This was presented as a series of lectures on the plague, not your opinions on COVID-19, vaccines, etc. I do not care about your opinions on those topics, even if I do agree with them.

Now I know to avoid this speaker and approach all of the lectures in "Great Courses" series with suspicion. What a disappointment.

Great memories.

Revisado: 11-26-24

Really enjoyed this one. The way in which the story was told felt almost conversational.

The performance was well done, but nearly every name you used to mispronounce before the internet is mispronounced here. I don't blame the guy reading, that blame fall to whoever was producing.

Regardless, I came way from this feeling very nostalgic with a smile on my face.

Great stuff!

Revisado: 08-12-24

Really enjoyed this book. I made the mistake of reading the negative reviews and let them color my perspective at the beginning, but, I'm here to say that I couldn't disagree more.

Enjoyed the different voices, my only issue is the mispronunciations of the different names. I don't really blame the preformer, I blame who ever was producing him.

So much information!

Revisado: 07-23-24

So much information... I can't imagine the amount of research and time that went in to just this book, let alone the rest!

Can't wait to start on the next.

A wealth of information on a horrific human...

Revisado: 07-02-24

An amazing wealth of information and research is presented on a truly horrific human.

I feel that these stories are important so that we don't let it happen again.

Lots of information! Tragic story.

Revisado: 07-02-24

There is a wealth of information provided in this book and the amount of research that went in to it must have been staggering.

Truly a tragic story of what horrors humans can be driven to. It's important of learn about it so we do not left it happen again.

Great source of information; inconsistent audio production.

Revisado: 06-13-24

If you're interested in the history of wrestling, from the founding pioneer days, till it begins to take the shape of what we know now, this is the book for you.

My only complaint, and it's really minor compared to the abundance of information and research provided, is the inconsistency of the audio production. It is very obvious when the audio was recorded during different sessions. It can be extremely jarring when it happens mid sentence.

Otherwise, I can't recommend this book enough.

Powerful... I know that's cliche.

Revisado: 04-19-24

What a powerful story. I know that is a cliche to say, but this story really makes you appreciate what you had growing up. Even it it was terrible... Chances are, as bad as it was(and my youth was really bad,) this story will shine a light on some little things that you missed and didn't appreciate at the time. Some things that you took for granted and never realized that some people were raised without.

Really looking forward to the next book!

Shorter, but fun!

Revisado: 04-10-24

This audiobook is quite a bit shorter than what I typically listen to, but it was a great listen! It hits all the high points and doesn't overstay it's welcome.

For some reason, I had put off listening to it for a while, but it was well worth my time. Speaking of time, it just flew by... Something about the narrator's voice is calming and completely non offensive.

It's a great listen, full of lots of game info. It managed to make me nostalgic for the simpler times of the 8 & 16 bit era. So much so that I ended up looking for a retro themed Indy game to play. You can't ask for much more than that!

It's bite size!

Revisado: 04-10-24

I'm not 100% on if these facts are accurate, but I appreciate the work that went in to it.

I don't mind these machine read audiobooks. It's definitely better than nothing, for me!
