Superb Analysis

Revisado: 02-03-24

Excellent analysis by Howard, as expected, given his subject expertise. This must be a mandatory reading for all students of Clausewitz. Discussion on Clausewitz’s intellectual pathway to his early theorization, and on interplay of his thought with later ideologies, is also quite wonderful. As for technical matters, the narrator performs quite strongly. 10/10, in all regards.

Masterly performance

Revisado: 12-27-22

Superb performance by both the author and the narrator. It is sometimes difficult to imagine the series without Planer.

Fascinating story; extremely poor narration.

Revisado: 03-11-21

Pursue another narration of this grand story. The narration is almost nauseating. Poor in the very extreme sense of the word.

A monumental achievement of literature.

Revisado: 01-16-21

All positive aspects aside, the narrator is often too fast and in a strange haste. This particular flaw overall reduces the appeal of the final product.

The Worst Narration Possible

Revisado: 05-05-20

The storyline is generally overinflated and conceited. Twight had never been an important climber, but he suffers, like most other American climbers, from an accurate form of inferiority complex in exposure to the achievements of European alpinists. It is an underwhelming story, but what makes it truly abhorrent and intolerable is the utterly dreadful, repugnant, and nauseating narration. There are many awful narrators in the world of audiobooks, but this one is the indisputable king of all these agents of horror.

Excellent Content, Terrible Presentation

Revisado: 01-23-20

Newton's 'Builders' is a classic text in the circles of American Freemasonry, especially as a profoundly insightful account of the primordial philosophical origins of the Craft. However, Hummel's insistence to be the narrator has catastrophically reduced the book's appeal. The performance is monotonous, tedious, utterly deprived of passion, and torments one's ears and mind. The book deserves a much better narration, but a proper audio narrator. Content: 9/10. Performance: 0/10.

Masterpiece of Performance and Presentation

Revisado: 01-23-20

Undoubtedly the greatest audio performance of the epic, supplanted with Fitzgerald's fluid and melodic translation. Steven's performance is enchanting.

A demystified methodical Analysis

Revisado: 01-23-20

With the exception of certain leaps in conclusion, Nicholson's analysis of the Poor Knights is a comprehensive, methodical, and methodologically-sound analysis of the origins and socio-economic life of the Order. There are few lapses and meaningless statements (such as "ordinary people are interesting", etc.), and the analysis is strictly non-military (for instance, iconic battles are reduced to statements such as "Saladin destroyed the army of the Kingdom of Jerusalem", or "after the defeat of..."), but the book is really about presenting the Order in a plain and non-mystified manner. The trials are well-presented, although some leaps in conclusion are again present. Overall, a very good introduction.

Extremely awful narration

Revisado: 01-10-20

The narration is perhaps one of the worst performances anywhere conducted to bring vocal life to a book, or as in this case, not only take life away from it but also stamp down on any remaining flame of life with wicked vengeance. The performance itself is adequate to render this great drama of betrayal and vengeance and dismay an utter torment to listen to. Find a better version to listen to, which considering how absolutely catastrophic this is, would be any other version available.
