No thanks

Revisado: 05-27-24

Downloaded this book because I enjoyed "good clean fun". if you're looking for more of that, turn around. The segment I listened to (2hrs) is Offerman bashing religion and dogma while perpetuating the classic Hollywood liberal arts dogma himself and talking about all the chicks he's had sex with. Lol.

He gives religion heat for trying to sway the way people think and vote and then uses his platform as a celebrity to do just that.

The whole thing is just a monologue of his inner thoughts.

Just barely fermentation related if at all

Revisado: 10-26-20

I'm thoroughly disappointed by this book. I'll look for a refund after I'm done writing this review.

I LOVED Wild fermentation and was excited to see more from Sandor Katz. This was not more of the same.
This book uses the facade of one's passion for fermented foods and shoe horns political and social justice issues by very thin metaphor.

I don't know by which hoops one jumps to join their socio philosophical beliefs and food preservation.

Excellent listening! Has held up beautifully.

Reads (and listens) beautifully. Smooth book with an excellent plot. The grandfather to a lot of sci Fi tales we know and love and still holds it's own to this day. Well worth it!

I really enjoyed this book. Classic Stephen King.

Revisado: 09-13-19

Typical Stephen King. Excellently written. Small town monsters and vivid characters. Some you love and some you hate intensely. Paranormal phenomenon takes second to the conflicts of a small town in a vacuum.

informative and eye opening to certain issues

Revisado: 12-05-17

The book is overall good and the narrator does a great job. BUT


The author is contradictory, and political ("liberal") in his opinions. Praises Walt Disney and Bambi multiple times. He seems more like an animal rights activist trying to convince others of the value of Coyotes through a rose colored filter. I think mass murder and poisoning of Coyotes is wrong too, but this goes past that a little.

He (the author) tries very hard to anthropomorphize and romanticize coyotes. He stretches comparisons between humans and coyotes to a nauseating degree.

Where there is one fact regarding coyotes, there are five anecdotes, stories or description of a Walt Disney movie that inspired him to animal rights.

Having said that, I did appreciate learning of the poisons campaigns of our forefathers and their errors. I understand the need to learn from the past. I didn't estimate the amount of fluff and feel pieces that would be included I suppose.

It's a good book. Decently narrated. Shallow.

Revisado: 07-08-17

I think Ryan has good intentions and does a good job of narrating this book. The concepts and thought is there but the overall book feels shallow. The concepts and examples are not fleshed out and don't have enough substance to be enlightening. This reads (or listens) like a long essay or bullet points and falls short.

An excellent Stoic introduction

Revisado: 06-19-17

This is an excellent introduction to Stoicism and the Stoic greats. A great modernization of stocism as well as a superb telling and comparison of the philosophical ancients.

The narrator is perfect.
