Slow til the End

Revisado: 10-17-18

The worst part about this book was the constant change of the voices characters sometimes within the current dialogue. I cant understand why they would do this, but it made for a terrible listening experience.

As far as the story, it was my first time reading DUNE, it was very slow. Obviously he had to take his time building the foundation of this fictional world and in the end it is worth it. I am very intrigued to see where this is going now that the characters have been built up so well. It seems at the end of this book Herbert was just getting to the actual stories he wanted to write, but had to write this first to get there. We will see!

Not What I Was Expecting

Revisado: 10-04-18

I had just finished Dracula as I move through the classic genre of Horror and moved into Frankenstein. Ouch, it was painful! Dracula had an art and story line that was blissful, unique and fun. This was a heavy mire of exhaustive linguistic gymnastics. I'm proud of Mary for being so smart, but ugh. The story is ok, in the end I feel like its just Dr. Frankenstein's fault for using human ingenuity to create and abandon his creation only to attempt to thwart the wrath to come.

Basic

Revisado: 08-15-18

This is a very basic study of the Pentateuch. If you are well versed and studied in this area this will not add much to your understanding. If you know little to nothing about the Pentateuch this is where you should begin.

Pleasantly Surprised

Revisado: 08-15-18

I can't believe I waited half of my life to read Dracula I was so surprised in it's ingenious, wittiness and level of cleverness. The all star cast made this read unbelievably enjoyable! So impressed!

good basis

this was a great over view for Catholicism. the best part as usual with these types of texts was the review and insight of the Eucharist, that made it all worth it.

interesting

Revisado: 06-14-18

the stories were interesting from a Christian perspective. Oden is Jesus and the father in one and Loki is Lucifer. it's like hearing the full story of the heavenly court and what it may or may not have been like when Lucifer hung around as the adversary much like Lokis character. i wasn't expecting so much correlation between the two stories but the over arching themes are definitely there.

ok

the idea that love is everything resonates in this work but sadly there isn't much else said. scientifically I think there is no other answer than what he says happened but with all ndes the most valuable insight is seeing a sibling one never knew and then finding that validated. i wish he had of elaborated more on what knowledge he gained from this but as he says he can't put it into words.

excellent scholarship

I have a master's in biblical studies so i can say this was a well presented argument academically and on a layman scale for interpretation of ot scriptures and their true meanings or original purposes. his conclusions are reasonable and his honesty on literal interpretations of scripture are a breath of fresh air.

Superb

Revisado: 05-09-18

What an excellent tale of dystopia the likes of which I hope to never see. A great story that is paired so well with 1984. They could be two characters from the same era, but in different cities experiencing just a tad difference of authoritarian will. Really enjoyed this.

She's Amazing

A world you wish was real and not only in your head. Characters, story-line, plot, themes, magic no one does it better than J.K.
