What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research. Humorous, surprising, and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.

Stealth. Gorgon. Regenerator. Cerberus. Zzzap. The Mighty Dragon. They were heroes. Vigilantes. Crusaders for justice, using their superhuman abilites to make Los Angeles a better place. Then the plague of living death spread around the globe. Despite the best efforts of the superheroes, the police, and the military, the hungry corpses rose up and overwhelmed the country. The population was decimated, heroes fell, and the city of angels was left a desolate zombie wasteland like so many others.

Didn't love, but at least it was short
Revisado: 09-15-15
A forced mashup concept that felt forced the whole time. Cringe-worthy dialog and a fair bit of sexism. for superhero novels, I enjoyed Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson a lot more, despite it. bring a YA novel

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

Loved it!
Revisado: 05-04-11
I think Robert Jordan would be very pleased by Sanderson's work in both this book and the Gathering Storm. That's really all the praise that is needed!
BUT...could someone PLEASE tell Kate Reading that there are only three 'a''s in "Mesaana", not 50? I cringed every time she said the name...."Mesaaaaaaaanaaaaa" I don't remember her doing this in past books.

The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in 25 years than the Romans did in 400. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization.

Best Book I've Listened To All Year
Revisado: 05-04-11
Wow. This could be complete fiction and be just as fascinating. The fact that it happened is just icing on the cake. Weatherford paints a great picture of Mongol society that doesn't have any of the staleness of most history books. Loved the reader.

Here is a comprehensive account of the rise of bin Laden. In meticulous detail, world-renowned terrorism expert Yossef Bodansky uncovers the events in bin Laden's life that turned the once-promising engineering student into a cold-blooded leader of radical Islam. In the process, Bodansky reveals a chilling story that is as current as today's headlines but as ancient as the Crusades, a story that transcends bin Laden and any other single man. This book is a sobering wake-up call.

Wasn't what I expected
Revisado: 05-04-11
I was looking for a biography of Bin Laden. This is not one. It's more of a history of militant Islamism over the last 20 years or so. Bin Laden is hardly even a central figure, and it doesn't go at all into his personality, family life, or anything you'd expect from a biography. Very detailed, and informative, but the title is misleading.
Also I didn't like the reader very much. I don't know if she just read too fast or what, but I had trouble keeping up.

In a scrap heap within an abandoned factory, the greatest invention in history lies dormant and unused. By what fatal error of judgment has its value gone unrecognized, its brilliant inventor punished rather than rewarded for his efforts? In defense of those greatest of human qualities that have made civilization possible, one man sets out to show what would happen to the world if all the heroes of innovation and industry went on strike.

This is not a good book
Revisado: 05-19-10
I decided to listen to this book because I've heard so much about it, and wanted to better understand more conservative idealologies. I found I agree with much of what she says, but she takes it way to far.
It is much too long. I'm okay with long books generally, but no new content or thoughts are introduced. It's the same sermon over and over. Also, I HATE Hank Rearden. What a dull, uninteresting character. Dangy isn't much better. I haven't finished yet, but I hope they die horrible deaths.
And trains don't bring lasting fulfillment. They just don't, okay?
