Historia
Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

Great Book
Revisado: 02-25-20
This is a good combination of a really interesting story line and perfect performance. John Scalzi knows how to conceptualize a world that does not exist. At the same time, he is able to retain characters who are human. He makes you think about big questions that are relevant to society without telling you what to think. He has become one of my favorite authors.

Historia
This quintessential coming-of-age novel describes the early life of Stephen Dedalus. It is set in Ireland during the 19th century, which was a time of emerging Irish nationalism and conservative Catholicism. Highly autobiographical in nature, the work is also notable for its being the first one in which Joyce uses innovative “stream of consciousness” writing style. A Portrait... follows Stephen Dedalus from his babyhood into early adulthood.

Fantastic themes but a Disappointing Ending
Revisado: 02-25-20
Colin Farrell gives a great performance. James Joyce goes deep into the Soul. It is the Soul of his character but really it could be any of us. He really captures the fight that all of us encounter every day to do good. I loved the story all the way to the end. It doesn’t match the beginning of the book. He is so in-depth and then he just seems to wrap it up without the depth of the beginning of the book. I do recommend reading it. It is good to be reminded that we should all think on the big questions of life. Does God exist? Heaven? Hell? Consequents of our actions. Read the book and open your mind but come to your own conclusions.

Historia
In a time when technology penetrates our lives in so many ways and materialism exerts such a powerful influence over us, Robert Cardinal Sarah presents a bold book about the strength of silence. The modern world generates so much noise, he says, that seeking moments of silence has become both harder and more necessary than ever before. Silence is the indispensable doorway to the divine, explains the cardinal in this profound conversation with Nicolas Diat, and he seeks to restore to silence its place of honor and importance.

Excellent but should be read not heard
Revisado: 02-25-20
Cardinal Sarah fascinates me. I was so excited to see this book on audible. It is a bit of a paradox to listen to a book on Silence. The book’s format is really a collection of thoughts and meditations. His thoughts and meditations are clearly inspired. I would recommend that you get the physical book instead and read it during holy hours of adoration. You should read the book in silence in the presence of our Lord. Only then, will you truly get the full benefit of what Robert Cardinal Sarah is trying to inspire in you.

Historia
Samantha is a professional seductress and con artist with a heart of gold. If she talked about her work, she’d tell you she only pilfers organs for medical research and that she only takes one kidney, and she only steals those kidneys from dishonest people. It’s hell on her social life. Abe is the doctor and Sam's partner in crime. He isn’t much of a criminal. Except for the kidney stealing. But he’s using that money to fund his research that he anticipates will be able to cure diabetes. So, all for a good cause...? You decide. Of course, it's hell on his social life.

Cute Story
Revisado: 02-25-20
This has a cute story despite the setting and placement of the characters. It is all about relationships which happen to take place in a shocking setting. One of the characters is an author. I don’t find her to be believable. The performance is great by the actors.

Historia
After the Final War, after the appearance of the Bug aliens and their enforced peace, Shining Smith is still alive, still doing business from the old scrapyard bequeathed to her by her father. But Shining is now something more than human. And the scrapyard is no longer just a scrapyard, but a place full of secrets. This life she has built, while empty, is predictable and safe. Until the only friend left from her previous life shows up, dead, in the back of a scrapped Tesla warplane. Clutched in her cold fingers is a note to Shining - warning her of a coming attack.

This story jumps right in and hits the ground running. This is a book you won’t want to put down. Secrets continue to unfold as a battle rages around the main character.

Is this generational?
Revisado: 01-14-20
I work with a lot of younger. I want to be able to understand them better. The book is helpful in presenting the obstacles of this generation. Some of the obstacles, I don’t think are generational. I think that they are a some things that obstacles for everyone who lives in these times. It is worth listening to. Decide for yourself.

Clever Storyline

This is a cute mystery. It is not too predictable. It allows you to enjoy the clue hunting with the character. It is a kid story but can be enjoyed by all.

I love that this is loosely based on a true story. It is not easy standing up for yourself especially when others rely on you. How far can one person be pushed to continue to stand and not be pushed? Read and find out.
