Interesting but disappointing

Revisado: 11-14-18

The secrets chosen were interesting to hear about, the acting and sound effects brought it to life, but when it came to the commentaries explaining why the secrets were...secret, I found that their foundational basis appeared to be from a Marxist/communist bias. Whenever antiestablishment, rebelling, colonialism, or suppression is used as a vehicle to describe negative history (beyond the actual documentation)...I hesitate to accept the persons view due to it appearing to be contaminated with Marxist/communistic propaganda instead of historical truth. I want to see history as it was, blemishes and all, not as someone’s propaganda wants me to see it. Thanks though

A marathon for the ears, but one worth the journey

A masterpiece. Hats off to the narrator for his perseverance in recording. Such a story is worth the effort.

One I would listen too over and over. The narrator was flawless in her storytelling and made it very enjoyable.

Disappointing

Revisado: 10-19-17

Sadly the story was not what I had hoped for. The story felt one dimensional. The main character came off as the whiny brat you come across at the mall or while shopping, except this one had some serious issues with handling the real world. Not a character I even wanted to relate to.
I wondered if it’d be different if I had read it....because the narrator didn’t help. He paused a lot and when it came to character dialogue his inflection was distracting if not bad.
Overall, I endured the whole story hoping it would get better as it went on....unfortunately it didn’t. I like what I’ve heard from Peter Lerangis before, but I didn’t expect this one. Who knows, this may be a great read....but I wouldn’t call it a great listen.

Dull

Revisado: 07-06-17

A long story with a lot of describing. Virtually no character growth and a lot of forgettable characters. Little dialogue, and when it's there it is either cynical or contaminated with cussing. It was a long burdensome book that I endured, hoping it would pay off in the end....it didn't. The performance was good and the sound effects added to the experience, but I will not be recommending this to anyone...anytime.

Mind blowing!

I purchased a copy of the book halfway through listening because it is jam packed with amazing research. A must read/listen for anyone interested on the origins and influences of western civilization and/or the effects Christianity had on the world from the Roman Empire to today. You won't be disappointed.

Tasteless and disappointing dialogue

Revisado: 06-16-17

I've come to enjoy the Star Wars audiobooks, especially when Marc Thompson is narrating. The voice talent and sound effects really add to the experience. Unfortunately "Thrawn" was different for me. The excessive flow of curse words was a surprising departure from the usual Star Wars stories. I found the language distracting and a turn off. I endured the story far more than I enjoyed it. I will sadly be warning folks of this book rather than recommending it.
