Great!

Revisado: 01-08-18

A fine, insightful and substantial work of far-reaching significance and seismic resonance. This book encourages a much-needed national discourse on who we are and where we are going.

this is a great little play especially for those who are interested in learning German and to those who like the detective novels of Inspector Maigret by Georges Simenon

great collection

Revisado: 12-17-15

this is a fine set of stories, and, of all the similar collections, the best in the series. No boring Canterville Ghost here, and not a Spur of the nauseating Cathy Dobson

almost but not quite

Revisado: 11-25-15

what would be an excellent collection or at least a very good collection is ruined by the longest, main story the Windigo where the narration is interspersed with voices that are so annoying and so rivaling and inappropriate that there is no way to listen to the story the wind to go to not even be tried. As for the other stories 5 repeats of very commonly anthologized stories once again reduce the appeal of this collection where are the narration is generally quite good though even when it doesn't have the weird psychotic voice as in the wind ago it still does become quite boring as if the reader is not really paying attention to what he is reading

history as entertainment

Revisado: 11-16-15

I would like the dramatization more if the propaganda was muted slightly, the presentation less chauvinistic and facts respected. For instance, to say there were no English casualties is to ignore the huge mortality rate of the English soldiers, of whom half died of disease made worse by poor supplies and little food, during the mobilization. So many sailors perished during 1688 that England would have been incapable of further defense had it been necessary. Certainly, there were no sailors to man over half the vessels the crown requisitioned.

Sad Clown

Revisado: 11-11-15

This poor uncharismatic women comes across as a squawkingly brainless air-head with her vapid, annoying American housewife voice and superficial, disqualifying nonsense of humor. No matter how solid her scholarly authority is (and to me it is only satisfactory, on a high school level), she undermines any academic legitimacy or popular appeal with butterfly frivolity, incoherence and stupid, insecure attempts at being cute. The first eight lessons are enough to stifle anyone's interest (there is some improvement after), she repeats herself, including painful jokes, and presents examples and illustration with clumsy ineptness. There should be more and better spoken clips, and they need more vivid analysis. Though she is qualified in her field, she murders the subject. Slow down, don't try to be funny, stop giggling, and go into greater depth in at least a few aspects of sociolinguistics.
