Interesting Incite into Samurai

Revisado: 09-11-23

Code of the samurai revealed in a unique story of early 18th century Japan. Great depth of characters, revealing their thoughts, feelings and motivations. Story bogs down a bit but but quickly excels to an exciting climax. Superior performance by the narrator. Overall, good fast moving story.

Insightful Perspective on the Civil War

Revisado: 02-16-23

Book provides a unique narrative on the war. Each chapter stands on its own with a different aspect of the people and other topics concerning the conflict. Narrative reads like series of lectures which provides many ways to look at the war that I never thought about or previous believed differently. The narrator is excellent making for an easy listen. The book allows for listening to a few chapters at a time and picking up where you left off with no difficulty as each chapter is a story in itself. Thoroughly enjoyable to listen to and revealed things about the war or provided a new way for me perceive the people involved in it or events that I never thought about before. Overall, those interested in the war will enjoy the book and may learn something new or make you look at the war in a different way.

Comparison to Book

Revisado: 09-10-21

1st. person narrative main difference. No police investigation which does add to the movie. Interesting parallels to today's political climate. More violent than movie except for original crime that motivates protagonist (not in book). Good but a little slow at beginning. Most intriguing part psychologist profile in magazine article. Liked book and recommend if you saw the movie or not. Quick read. Narration very good but main character does not bring to mind Charles Bronson.

Nostalgic for the Film

Revisado: 02-04-21

Enjoyable rendition of the classic movie. Mostly a verbal description of the movie itself. It just made me wish I was watching the movie.
A few sequences that differ from the film were interesting. Narration made it an enjoyable listen, giving characters a unique voice.
Some of the narrative seemed forced to give it the sound of a novel, which having seen the movie, makes it a little awkward.
Overall, if you liked the film or loved it, as I do, it's worth a listen. However, it's an impossible task capture the raw power of the film, "King Kong".
