Dave Wilson

One of the best books ever written

Revisado: 09-09-24

Andrew Wilson’s style and intellectual breadth makes this book one of the most entertaining and informative books I have ever read. I finished it on Audible but now I have to get the hardback copy.

Tough Read But Excellent Material

Revisado: 07-12-24

I’ve both read and listened through this book. It’s a great guide for getting your life in order, especially your work life. I highly recommend it.

Felt like a rough start - deceptively though

Revisado: 07-09-24

The start of this trilogy was deceptively shallow. Keep with it. At the end, you’ll be grateful that you did. My only judgment is that it feels like the book starts in both chapter one and chapter eight. But it kept me plugged in enough that I already bought book two! Clever is the word I’m looking for. I promise you it is worth sticking with it.

Fantastic

Revisado: 02-29-24

Such a long story but I never grew tired of it. One of the best journeys I have ever taken.

Pretty Good

Revisado: 06-29-19

I have enjoyed this course (as I have always enjoyed Johnson’s papers outside of it), but I do feel like the arguments for the existence of the future before we arrive there were weak. But as a survey of views, everything else was well balanced. I would highly recommend it to the philosophically interested individual without formal philosophical training.

An Excellent Performance!

Revisado: 03-19-19

I have read other reviews regarding this performance of The Aeneid, but I disagree with those who did not find this narration wonderful. It is quite possibly the best I have heard in the last year or two now, not that others have not been good.

Additionally, this is the first book in my Graduate studies that has wowed me. I don’t know if I should give credit to Virgil, the translator, Callow, or all three, but I have found a gem in this book. I hope others will come away with the same impression.

Skips a few sections

Revisado: 03-16-19

While I understand why a few of the sections are skipped, it made it difficult to notate in my paperback edition where I needed to place notes. Skipped sections have little to do with tragedy or go off on a tangent on the Greek language, particularly in Book 25. Good narrator voice and pace. Just be aware of these few,m and short skipped sections.

Dry At Times, But Quite Insightful - A Well Formed Case

Revisado: 03-04-19

This book is very thorough and fair in its treatment of theists and non-theists views. I applaud the effort and will likely reference this book in papers. However, being very detailed has the downside of being dry. The authors combat this the best they can by dramatizing the stories (without any intentional fictionalizing) and carefully organizing the work.

A Call For Unity

Revisado: 09-13-18

This book still has the potential to reconcile every area of human knowledge. A source for numerous strands of intellect conversations, it may still do the same for you.

Too Fast

Revisado: 02-04-18

The performance is too fast and sounds unnatural at 75% speed. The start of the book is a little dry too, but gets better as you stick with it.
