The best science fiction book in a while

Revisado: 07-06-24

Wow, just wow. It's been a while I've loved a book so much that I did not want it to come to an end.

This book is that good, and the performance by Ray Porter on the audible version is at the top 3 audible performances I've come across. You really could not guess how this plays out from the beginning, unlike many other fiction books. This is an all-round 5-star performance from Andy Weir.

Highly recommended.

AMAZE!

Beautiful book, beautiful narration

Revisado: 05-02-23

Having read the full version, I decided to have a go at the abridged version by Simon Vance. With this version, you get all the flesh of the story with little loss of facts. This is a very impressive piece of literal work. Dostoyevsky was really good.

Another brilliant take by Lewis

Revisado: 02-06-23

I admit I had to reread this to get the real message in it. It is one of the few C.S. Lewis books that requires some effort in concentration to get through. But once you do, it becomes a great book. I believe I'll have to read this again. Especially the abolition of man.

Brilliant work of history once again

Revisado: 08-31-22

The book pretty much covers the history of rates and the impact of setting this price at a divergence from what markets are offering. Most of the writings feel so obvious and agreeable that one would wonder how we traveled much far from these assertions. Highly recommended

It makes sense

Revisado: 01-17-22

After reading quite a lot on global trade and macro, this finally makes sense. Once you can move past the reader's robotic flow (I highly recommend the physical book), the case presented by the authors are difficult to fault. This is a must read to understand how the world really works. So, rather than blame other regions for local imbalances and deficits, look to the elites that suppress wage growth and financially repress savers to maintain their status.

An incredibly well detailed write up.

It's difficult to ignore the message conveyed here by Mark. I have re-read this severally and still pick up new information each time.
