Unexpectedly good. Should be a movie...

Revisado: 12-07-24

I started to listen to this and immediately disliked it, something about the narration or the way it was written put me off, but after the slow start things started to pick up once Ryn was introduced. Amazing is too short a word to describe this original story concept. Someone needs to make it into a movie... don't change anything, don't try to give it your own spin, just change it into script format, act it, tape it, and ship it! In a time where idiots are trying to do remakes; HERE is an original thing.

Pride comes before the fall...

Revisado: 11-24-24

My whole life I have witnessed friends, family, and the famous really make some boneheaded decisions based on pride. I've seen the consequences, and they largely tend to not be positive. This book puts words into the feelings or thoughts about how I feel about people's pride and priorities. Additionally it adds insight into other aspects of life where pride (or ego) is the enemy. Very thoughtful and well written. Thank you!

It was ok...

Revisado: 09-24-24

Take my opinion lightly. This was a book I picked up to learn a little more about logistics, some of the challenges one can face in it, and highlights of recent successes. This book did just that. Maybe it was because I was unfamiliar or unpassionate about the subject, but it was definitely boring to me. As far as the reader, he was understable and very concise, but something about his Attenborough voice just didn't seem to jive with this book. Overall not bad.

Insight into the cost of fixing a big problem...

Revisado: 07-07-24

and the moral quandrum that one must face in its execution. As I have listened to this book I've looked up YouTube articles about Duterte and the Philippines. People there still largely love the man for what he did. It's crazy to think that over reach and abuse of power is still more tolerable than the rot and decay drug and drug dealers bring to a society.

Felt like sexual studies in Utopian models...

Revisado: 06-16-24

Some times... some times it felt that way. I think more important themes could have been discussed in the Utopian-Dystopian models, but other than that this course serves as a great introduction to the topic. The author and speaker did an overall great job.

Story remains as exciting as the previous 3..

Revisado: 05-29-24

So far I have been enjoying the Expeditionary Force series. The story is seems fresh and I often wonder how it would easily adapt to a TV series. Then I realize that it would just get messed up by producers trying to give it their own spin. At times Skippy's attitude does get grating, but a measly AI can only do as it is programmed to do...

Great Series!

Loved the series. it got better as it went. Had a distinct feeling, to other sci-fi series as this remained inside the Sol system.

Crescendo of a Sci-Fi Opera Epic

Revisado: 03-13-24

An excellent story similar to Hunger Games. At first I loved the Irish accent of the narrator as I thought it was pretty awesome of the first culture introduced, and nothing cooler than the feeling of fantasy dwarfs miners in space. But as you get introduced to the different castes you realize now you are stuck listening to it the whole time. Started slow, but builds over time until you can't wait to listen to more. Highly recommend!

A book about passion, crime, and penance!

Revisado: 02-28-24

Such a great book. The movies don't do it justice. I've known about Frankenstein for a long time and finally got around to going over Mary Shelley's book. It amazes me how similar this is to Moby Dick in that every word written makes the scene and feelings incredibly vivid and painful. Something that just can't be captured in even the best adaptations. The narrator did an amazing job conveying feelings through inflection of his voice. Highly recommend.

First step to Financial Freedom

Revisado: 02-16-24

The contents of this book can probably be found in many other publications (and the author says so himself). Where this class shines is that I breaks things down for easy listening and gets you interested in why YOU want financial freedom.
