What is Ship of Theseus, and who is its mysterious author V.M. Straka? Conceived by filmmaker J.J. Abrams and written by acclaimed novelist Doug Dorst, Ship of Theseus is the central novel within the experience that is S., a multi-faceted narrative of love and mystery. Ship of Theseus is at its core and is the final book written by a man shrouded in deception and violence. It tells the mystical adventure of an equally mysterious figure, who is struggling to discover his own identity.

What did I just read????
Revisado: 08-06-16
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
If the story had any plot with continuity. I kept listening, thinking there had to be a story tying all the chapters together. Nah.
What was most disappointing about V.M. Straka’s story?
It had no cohesive story to it. It made absolutely no sense to me. I even went back and listened to the first Audible part of the download, and it still gave me a "So what?" feeling at the end. Very tiresome. I have only asked for a refund twice in over 25 years of Books-0n-Tapes. This will make the third.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
No. Trying to be way too cosmic to be an enjoyable listen.

The year 2010 marks the 100th anniversary of Twain’s death. In celebration of this important milestone, here, for the first time, is Mark Twain’s uncensored autobiography, in its entirety, exactly as he left it. This major literary event offers the first of three volumes and presents Mark Twain’s authentic and unsuppressed voice, brimming with humor, ideas, and opinions, and speaking clearly from the grave, as he intended.

I now know why Clemens waited.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Glimpses of life from the 1870's till Twain's death are scattered throughout which will probably delight historians.
What could Mark Twain have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Cut out some of his petty tales of spite. Whoever it is that was riling him up is also DEAD. I gave up after the first Audible segment but will try to finish--when my library is empty...
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Clemens is as honest as a person can be but some of his petty grievances should have been laid to rest permanently 100 years ago. When he didn't like someone, he REALLY didn't like him. And his use of adjectives to describe the reasons for his dislike wore thin after only a few stories. However, I'm now anxious to learn more about U.S. Grant because of what a great a human being he was, according to his friend Mark Twain. I guess that shows Twain's flip side and just how effusiive his praise could be when he actually admired a person.

Why we think it’s a great listen: Never before has an author’s narration of his fiction been so important to fully grasping the book’s impact and global implications. Taking us from Afghanistan in the final days of its monarchy to the present, The Kite Runner is the unforgettable story of the friendship between two boys growing up in Kabul. Their intertwined lives, and their fates, reflect the eventual tragedy of the world around them.

Reevaluate the way you look at immigrants
Revisado: 09-28-05
What a beautiful country it must have been once upon a time! And he made his culture familiar to me rather than seeming foreign. I was so overwhelmed by empathy when he described the life in Afghanistan before all the wars began--a culture that's all but lost.
