hope outlives horror, and love reigns supreme

Revisado: 03-31-24

a spectacular story of hope, determination, survival, and pragmatism. but even more than that, it is a story of deep, deep love in the midst and the aftermath of the greatest horror in the history of mankind.

narration

Revisado: 03-22-24

stories had moments of imagination, but otherwise too predictable. prose was bland and the characters alternated between dull, one, dimensional or just plain unlikable. narration was the most redeeming quality.

what a delightful story

Revisado: 09-17-23

as funl and humble, full of love, faith and family as you could want. and bonus, it's a real story about real people. better than a novel any day! thanks Jenny and msqc just for being.

painful, heart-rending, honest

Revisado: 09-01-23

a brutal story told so personally that you are there, in the mud, cold heat misery, joy, senselessness and horror of wwi. but the story is not just historical. sadly, it's as timeless as ever. a must read for everyone,.

interesting, but pompous and sappy, too

Revisado: 08-12-23

it might just be the era in which it was written, so overlook some of the 'fragile female' remarks. the hero is so full of himself that he alternately needs a trophy and a fainting couch. the villain is a bit too one dimensional, portrayed as a skilled and intelligent sailor, but full of pure malevolence. the sealing and ship handling were interesting peeks into history. what ruined the story for me? the romance was soooo sappy that I just wanted the whole book to be over.

More gruesome than Disney adaptation

Revisado: 08-06-23

if you're expecting a tender children's story experience, think again. the original is much darker in places. narration is good, but can't offset the bleaker moments. overall, a classic, so worth the read, but not my favorite story.

tiresome, mostly pointless and pompous

Revisado: 12-10-22

so many metaphors, so little to say. i found his writing style vascillatibg between muckraking and pontificating to the extent that his theme got lost in the ramblings. depictions of some areas of the supply chain were so grossly inaccurate, (trucking) it made me wonder where else he had gotten it wrong. I enjoyed parts of the book (slawsa) but struggled to identify his overall theme or point. we eat, the supply chain is messy. got it. anything else? ugh. won't be searching for books by this author any time soon.

absolutely delightful!

the genius of jeeves is a bit like a male version of Mrs. piggle wiggle, the children's series. lighthearted, humorous stories for any time or age

Peterson is an inspiration

Revisado: 02-21-22

The book is both deeply philosophical, yet practical and able to be applied now for virtually everyone. Canada, recognize your native son as a national treasure. Peterson addresses the hard truths with humor, compassion, and fierceness, as needed. I thank God for having found his writings and lectures. Read his book and become a better person, perhaps much better than you could even imagine possible.
