Not great

Revisado: 03-27-24

There was a little bit, that I could say was insightful, from this book.
I feel the narrator was a terrible pick, they would be fine narrating girls teen fiction maybe, but awful for a self help book...
The "story" has many flaws as it leads by knocking on all the sayings about hard work and being uncomfortable, only to digress the statements in the next chapter. It continues to have this flip flop attitude throughout.

interesting, but difficult to maintain focus.

Revisado: 02-08-24

An interesting book but, the narration is too slow and monotone for my taste. I think the attempt is to sound meditative/relaxing. For me, that makes it difficult to pay attention, when it almost sounds like the narrator is sleepy/bored...

Not what I expected.

Revisado: 11-28-23

The first part of the book was interesting and thought provoking, as to how and why people behave the way they do. However, the second half felt more like the author's personal soap box to argue his political stance, in so much as he spent a lot of time "playing judge" against certain people of power, rather than really digging into the psychology of evil further.

Absolute disappointment

Revisado: 08-04-23

For the most part, from the world of "The Last Unicorn", feels more like a way to lure fans in, only to utterly disappoint. The story in the second part is confusing, boring, and nothing about the way it's even written reminds me of "The Last Unicorn". Nothing more than a money grab... Enjoyed the narrator though.

Inconsistencies

Revisado: 05-31-23

The books are fairly entertaining, for children's books.
However, there are inconsistencies throughout the series, most notably in Princess Ozma's origin.

The largest complaint I have, with this particular collection of the Oz series is, there's at least one book completely out of order.

There are a few times where the narrator confuses character voices, but there are a lot of characters throughout the series. Other than that, I enjoyed the narrator.

I don't like abridged books, this is the exception

Revisado: 11-16-22

Normally, I don't think books should be abridged, however large parts of this book was near aganoy. The author pauses the actual story, continuously, to go on rants about a good many things, that have little to no value to the story. I enjoyed the actual story a lot, but all the unnecessary explanation, and opinions of long gone French politics were unbearable...

Wit and madness

Revisado: 09-09-20

The performance of of the reader was good.
The story was a mixture of enjoyment and boredom.

Don Quixote's madness is so ridiculous that It was a chore to read those parts. Furthermore, a large portion of the book is madness in its own right; as it is riddled full of hypocrisies. On the other hand, The wit within was quite enjoyable.

Well written, disappointment.

Revisado: 08-04-20

The book was well written. However, much of it feels like a history or science of whaling, rather than a story. Where there was story, it was a pleasure to hear, save the end. Without spoiling anything, I would say, it was anticlimactic.
