Insightful and Well Performed

Sitting Bull’s weaknesses and strengths are equally addressed. I came away with a deepened appreciation for the struggles of the Indian peoples. Nicely narrated.

Disappointed at narration.

Revisado: 03-19-25

The narrator’s inflections are as if he is reading to elementary school students. Storyline is strong and historically beneficial to the reader.

Expectations of a regent family.

Revisado: 11-01-24

Dan Jones presents the story of Henry V with succinct reality. He brings to light negative consequences of Henry’s ambitions as well as his victories. More than anything, I came away with more appreciation of the expectations that comes with living in a regent family. Being 16 and shot in the face by a longbow, Henry survived to become a battle King, who thought of those who aided his rule from his death bed.

Resonates with human experience

Revisado: 08-18-24

Once again, Dickens presents characters in a fictional story whose experiences seem to depict real life
circumstances even for the 21st century. Antagonists project what the detest and fear in themselves onto noble characters. The reader will discover beauty in the briars of injustice. Female characters demonstrate strength. The characters demonstrate the value of making decisions by individual instinct, which is sometimes balanced by the value of soliciting sound guidance from others.

Rich in Character Development

Revisado: 07-30-24

This work of Dickins is the most spectacular in terms of character development and surprising plot twists. Dickins has a way of introducing characters with a hit of predictability that plays out in their behaviors. Still, he manages to surprise the reader as the characters either mature and grow or deteriorate into moral decline. Though the story takes place in the 19th century, readers will relate to the human dynamics.

Depth in the Human Condition

Revisado: 07-16-24

Shelley reveals in this story the results of human drive for greatness. What happens when we reach our goals? The readers will question their own motives. Further, the depth of love and beauty in even the most outcast of creatures, as genuine they may br, can become distorted by mans’s drive to extend our potential.

Family and Friends

Revisado: 07-13-24

Character development in this work of Dickins incites curiosity and surprise. Fidelity in human attachments is upheld and honored. Dickens explores family dynamics in a manner that introduces a variety of implications. Authenticity and noble character won’t always be rewarded with bliss, but earn the respect of fellow humans in this early journey.

Human Dynamics and Big Picture to Details

Revisado: 06-09-24

The characters reveal the realities of projection in relationships. Light shines through on awareness and the consciousness of these figures. Some fall as a result while others rise to their potential. Note also that when Dickens describes the big picture scenes of sunrises, sunsets, and transition of the seasons, he is offering a hint of what’s to come in the details of his narrative.

Stay with it

Revisado: 03-23-24

It’s quickly obvious from the outset that is is different from other Dickens stories. Character development seemed pedestrian at first. I’m glad I stayed with the book to the finish. I disagree with the negative reviews. It’s difficult to find one protagonist. Redemptive qualities appear in several characters. Unveiling underlying bitter motives of shallow religious convictions, this book invites the reader to consider a better understanding of self and religious movements in our world.
