Solid start but pace a bit slow
Revisado: 09-29-24
Very clever writing just a tad dragging as the story is formed. I liked but didn't love due to pace.

Historia
As one of the few black students in his philosophy program at Columbia University years ago, Coleman Hughes wondered why his peers seemed more pessimistic about the state of American race relations than his own grandparents–who lived through segregation. The End of Race Politics is the culmination of his years-long search for an answer.

Historia
Leading a cultural revolution driven by identity politics and so-called 'social justice', the new puritanism movement is best understood as a religion - one that makes grand claims to moral purity and tolerates no dissent. In The New Puritans, Andrew Doyle powerfully examines the underlying belief-systems of this ideology and how it has risen so rapidly to dominate all major political, cultural and corporate institutions. He reasons that, to move forward, we need to understand where these New Puritans came from and what they hope to achieve.

Framework to view our current social landscape
Revisado: 04-08-23
Clear logical and concise breakdown of a frequently confusing topic. Critical social justice might add insight into liberal social justice but an uncritical adoption of a worldview through the CSJ lens would be devastating for society.

Historia
At the end of The Last Kingdom, The Danes had been defeated at Cynuit, but the triumph of the English is not fated to last long. The Danish Vikings quickly invade and occupy three of England's four kingdoms - and all that remains of the once proud country is a small piece of marshland, where Alfred and his family live with a few soldiers and retainers, including Uhtred, the dispossessed English nobleman who was raised by Danes.

Historia
Anna does boring things for terrible people because even criminals need office help and she needs a job. Working for a monster lurking beneath the surface of the world isn’t glamorous. But is it really worse than working for an oil conglomerate or an insurance company? In this economy? A sharp, witty, modern debut, Hench explores the individual cost of justice through a fascinating mix of millennial office politics, heroism measured through data science, body horror, and a profound misunderstanding of quantum mechanics.

Midwit mindset of today's popular thought
Revisado: 09-06-22
Back story neither strong nor bad but inlaid with a not-so-clever good guys are just as bad (or worse) than the bad guys framework and a "how to use social media to destroy lives" playbook.
Same vapid thought process that leads to disastrous defund the police views despite a protagonist that supposedly thrives on data analysis. Layered upon that is all that is bad about how today's media is manipulated to ruin peoples lives.

Historia
A coup has thrown the kingdom of Farshores into turmoil, and one of the pretender’s first moves was to order mercenaries to invade the Mage District and put all its inhabitants - men, women, and children - to the sword. There is one survivor: Horace Stonecutter, the youngest son of the Stonecutter family. Consumed with anger and a hunger for retribution, he journeys out to find who ordered the murder of his family. Along his bloody journey, he meets kings, princes, princesses, noblemen - and not so noble men. May God have mercy on his enemies - because he won’t.

Fun, somewhat shallow, romp
Revisado: 06-14-22
I really liked listening to this one. It's a fast-paced coming of age/revenge story where the good guy always wins. He wins mostly because his rapidly expanding "mage" powers are almost always overwhelmingly better than his opposition thereby reducing any fight drama/tension. However, don't look for much depth or expect much more than the above. The plot device twists at the end hold minor interest but they also disrupted the flow and did not add much to the plot.

Slow pace
Revisado: 11-14-21
Both writing and reader contribute to a painfully slow pace. The underlying story holds interest but could only be tolerated at increased reading speed.

Historia
Set in a lethal pro football league 700 years in the future, The Rookie is a story that combines the intense gridiron action of Any Given Sunday with the space opera style of Star Wars and the criminal underworld of The Godfather. Aliens and humans alike play positions based on physiology, creating receivers that jump 25 feet into the air, linemen that bench-press 1,200 pounds, and linebackers that literally want to eat you. Organized crime runs every franchise, games are fixed, and rival players are assassinated.

Straightforward coming of age story
Revisado: 09-30-21
A gifted athlete realizes that his immense talents are no longer sufficient to win. He must overcome his prejudice and work as a team in order to succeed at the next level. The progression is linear, saltatory, and predictable without particular tension or rationale. In the end the story barely keeps one interest and is probably more appropriate for young adult genre. Too simple and predictable.

Too many directions, flawed reader
Revisado: 07-22-21
Interesting enough characters as with book 1 but storylines were multiple and did not mesh well.
Reader has different voices for many characters but also an inability to read a sentence that's not on a single line leading to many distracting and unintended pauses.

Meandering and preachy
Revisado: 06-06-21
Liked the first book but this one is disjointed and meandering. Political narrative increasingly dominates as the book progresses.
