Certainly NOT Sir Conan Doyle's writing
Revisado: 12-15-24
Not even mildly interresting story....Whatever happened to the backwards feet.... ??....
Why is the author writing about the Holmes'?.... leave that to Sir Conan Doyle.

Bla, bla, bla...
Revisado: 04-24-24
More so than others of the book serie, this story seems have have a lot of (useless) bla bla bla, side-tracks and in depth "analysis " of what (at this point - chapter 7) seems irrelevant.....I had to speed up the narrator or I would have fallen asleep. still 32 hours to go.... don't know if I'll make it

Among the many books trying to understand the terrifying rise of ISIS, none has given voice to the women in the organization; but women were essential to the establishment of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s caliphate. Responding to promises of female empowerment and social justice, and calls to aid the plight of fellow Muslims in Syria, thousands of women emigrated to join the Islamic State. Guest House for Young Widows charts the different ways women were recruited, inspired, or compelled to join the militants.

a political and religious analysis

...and if that's what you are looking for, I'm sure the book is great. I was looking for a book about the isis women, but all I have gotten, so far, are disjointed stories of women....hopefully something will tie together in the end....

Timothy R. Levine’s Duped: Truth-Default Theory and the Social Science of Lying and Deception recounts a decades-long program of empirical research that culminates in a new theory of deception-truth-default theory. This theory holds that the content of incoming communication is typically and uncritically accepted as true, and most of the time, this is good. Truth-default allows humans to function socially.

story itself is ok, although far fetched....
Narrator is good, but has a lisp on C, S and Z sounds, which - once you hear it, you can't un-hear it....

As a high school sophomore, Aiden Kelly's biggest problems should be his failing grades, his abusive father, being a self-proclaimed loner, or getting pummeled by the football team. Instead, Aiden's number one dilemma is a guy named Tony, a senior who seems to know all sorts of things that should be impossible to know. Oh, and he may also be a sociopath. So, you know: No. Big. Deal.

What a waste of time
Revisado: 09-25-20
Although not great, the first 20 chapters are the typical story about teenage trouble, life, love, school...etc...then the story gets convoluted with Tony's "timetravel" (?) - did not get that....one chapter he gets killed, other chapter Eiden dies, only to be alive in the next chapter, living with his husband and getting ready to adopt children.....- huh?!!....

If you want to read a book, where foreign language is present, do the listener a favor and LEARN TO PRONOUNCE. As a native danish speaker, I have a hard time recognizing names/places from my own country, because the reader have not bothered to learn the pronouncation.....
