This is one of those life changing books.

Aubrey had already been a very positive force in my life via her podcast Maintenance Phase. This book is very well written and I don't think anyone can read it without being moved to their core.

Adam Kay's books always manage to reaffirm my faith in humanity somehow. Moved to tears.

Love this book, not so much the narration.

Revisado: 11-05-19

I love this book but the narration is too pompous with ridiculous accents. Still enjoyable.

This has always been one of my favorite books.

The translation and narration are great, except for the weird choice to read only Valentine's lines with a ridiculous french accent that makes her sound like an idiot. This was pretty irritating since she's part of one of the better parts of the story.

I wish she hadn't skipped the crucial parts.

Revisado: 01-21-19

I did enjoy the book and was very moved by it. However, Assata made a strange decision to skip telling some main events, such as the actual shoot-out leading to her arrest, the verdict and sentencing, and the eventual escape to Cuba. Whether she wanted to avoid incriminating others, or she assumed we already knew the official story, I feel like the tale's climax was cut out.

The basics.

Revisado: 05-29-18

If this is the very first book you're ever buying about book marketing, then it's the best book you can buy. If you've already advanced into Chris Fox, for example, then this is to basic for you.

Fascinating and useful

Revisado: 04-24-18

A great set of lectures. I found them extremely useful for all the stated reasons, but also as a child of immigrants it helped me understand better the clash of my original and adaptive cultures.

It really is very sweet

I could've enjoyed a much longer story. I really hope they make sequels.

Not exactly what I was looking for

Revisado: 12-20-17

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The professor gets distracted often, and you can feel it. He will start making longer and longer pauses between words, and then just make a mistake (the wrong country name for example), and then correct himself, and eventually you hear him rally and get his line if thought back.

Any additional comments?

This is a very good summary of the period between the French Revolution and WW1, but it assumes that you've already studied all the separate parts. For example, it will not give you the story of the Crimean war, it will tell you of the events and processes lreading to it, and the impact it had, which lead to another thing which you're also supposed to already know about. So if, like me, you're looking to fill an education gap, because your high school education didn't cover the 19-th century properly, then this is not exactly the course that will do it. Although it might give you a good list of the significant things that you need to reserch further.
