The End

Meh

Revisado: 06-10-21

Just OK, nothing that deep, interesring, or especially thought-provoking. Not worth a credit, ok as a free listen sped up to at least 1.5x or so.

Superficial dismissal of a fishy murder

Revisado: 05-26-21

A quick, superficial little dismissal of a very fishy murder (one of many surrounding JFK). Takes the time to smear JFK, while defending CIA agent Jesus James Angleton as some honorable, trustworthy guy, but doesn't really delve deeply into anything below the surface.

Lots of good facts

Revisado: 05-21-21

Lots of good facts, info & reasoning here, even if you've read a bunch of other JFK books---this organizes the topics, lays them out well, and covers a very good amount of ground. A solid, worthwhile listen.

A warning, or the Huxley family's game-plan?

Revisado: 12-17-20

Ignore the comments criticizing York's narration; he does a great job. His different voices are well-performed, and if he didn't use them, it would be too difficult to know which characters are speaking (especially in the beginning). As far as him whispering & then screaming, that's a big exaggeration.

Everyone should be familiar with this classic. The real question is whether Huxley meant this book as a warning or as a blueprint; after reading/hearing this book and how it discusses drugs & "hypnopedic" jingles, go and read Huxley's private letters to Dr. Humphry Osmond, where the two of them discuss catchy names & rhyming jingles to rebrand scary "scizophrenogenic" drugs into seductive "psychedelics." Now why would Huxley have done that if he was worried about society using drugs to distract & hypnotize citizens?

Research the Huxley family's beliefs, work, and connections---Aldous's uncle Thomas Henry Huxley wrote the 1890 essay, "On the Natural Inequality of Men"; Aldous's brother Julian was the first director of UNESCO and an admitted eugenicist. So was Aldous Huxley just trying to prevent this "brave new world" or was he actually trying to bring it about? Listen to Aldous's 1962 Berkeley speech on "the Final Revolution" and ask yourself that question.

Masterful narration of a terrifying classic.

Revisado: 12-14-20

Superb narration in every respect. A chilling, timeless classic. Everyone needs to read this, and if you already have, reacquaint yourself with it in the form of this wonderfully-narrated audiobook---while you still can...

Deep investigation; well-written & narrated.

Revisado: 11-22-20

Great narration. Tom O'Neill conducted about 20 years of meticulous research & investigation into this mind-blowing book. The infamous story of the Manson Family murders had been assumed by many casual observers to be all settled & fully explained, but O'Neill has proven otherwise by peeling back layer after layer of assumptions, contradictions, obfuscations, and outright lies. After O'Neill collapses the official narrative of the purported motives behind the murders, he re-orients the puzzle pieces and connects them with the newly uncovered facts. He refrains from speculating much on things that he can't prove; but all of his solid, demonstrable evidence is more than enough to paint a big picture that's much wider, deeper, and actually more disturbing than the official story ever was. O'Neill does not defend Manson, nor apologize for him---but he does prove that Manson was entangled in a deeper, darker web of a story than the public ever realized, and that it involved master manipulators even more immoral & hypnotizing than Charles Manson himself.
