Brilliant expose of hidden history

Revisado: 01-29-22

Annie Jacobsen is a great writer and a brilliant narrator with a recognisable voice and cadence.

The books takes a lot of hidden and lost information and crafts it into a brilliant story and narrative.

The crossover between the Nazi wars and immediately afterwards is fascinating.

With a growing and threatening USSR at the time, I can’t say I wouldn’t have at least considered all of this. Just a great book.

We’ve forgotten where we are from

Revisado: 11-09-21

This is well written, well narrated, and entertaining. This information used to be a art of daily life. Now nobody knows any of it. This is a great overview of many parts of our history we either gloss over or have never known.

A wonderful experience

Revisado: 05-16-21

Stephen Fry has written a fantastic lens to view the Greek myths. By laying out the timeline and injecting humour and humanity - these stories leapt to life in my imagination.

Brilliant translation into audio

Revisado: 07-18-20

i am only on chapter 6 right now. however, it is a fantastic adaptation of a great comic book series.

The performance is masterful and unique. It's not an audio book, it's theatre. The 24 hour diner is as terrifying in audio as it was on the page. I will finish this in a day or so.

An outstanding depiction of norse mythology

Revisado: 07-19-19

i'm having a bit of a Gaiman phase right now, and this book kicked it all off. A very humourous and human look into the world of norse mythology. well written, well narated and thoroughly enjoyable.

Excellent concept well executed.

Revisado: 07-19-19

i dont listen to nuch fictiin and Sci fi can easily go off the rails. This book, however, worked very well. they didnt try to jam too much into it, surrounded the Sci-fi elements with a good story, and delivered it with an excellent narrator. I really enjoyed it.

Entertaining and educational

Revisado: 07-19-19

i listened to this in two bursts. it is a good length for me. The narrator was excellent, it was well delivered, with good humour and a good story.

Gave me insights into historical feuds that I had no idea about.

One of the best I've bought

Revisado: 09-17-17

Paglia delivers a tour de force in this reading of her latest book. Her emphasis and intonation of her past essays and articles add life to the written word.

Unable to contain herself she frequently seems to ad lib in order to explain certain points and to discuss events along the evolution of feminism in particular. These were the highlights of book for me.

Her thoughts on art had me mesmerised.

I enjoyed this audio book far more than most I've heard and would recommend it to anyone wishing to challenge their own thinking or enrich their knowledge of modern social gender phenomena.

Why did they stop?

Revisado: 05-12-16

The Gervais / Pilkington books are among the funniest things I've ever heard.

If you've never heard one then start now. You'll love it.

Like having three old mates over to chat about nothing at all.

A brilliant warning to Americans flirting with European ideals

Revisado: 03-16-16

Daniel Hannan is among one of the worlds most refreshing conservative voices.

This book is a well written and timely warning to Americans about the dangers of seeing themselves as "just another country".

A fantastic, honest and intellectual appraisal of US exceptionalism, it's democratic roots, and the extraordinary peril of losing it.

This could not come at a more important moment in history.

Thanks Daniel, I enjoyed it the first time I heard it also.
