Masterclass in Storytelling

Revisado: 09-28-23

It's so rare that I come across a book that is gripping from the very first word, up until the very last word. But maybe I'm biased; the last time that I remember that happening was reading GoT, where I spent an entire weekend devouring the first two books. With A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, George R.R. Martin once again demonstrates why he is perhaps the greatest storyteller of our time.

Sublime

This story is equally exciting, inspiring, and educational. It is a remarkable adventure recounted by a remarkable author whose elegant and thoughtful prose makes for a remarkable audiobook experience.

Fascinating, Inspiring, and Insightful

Revisado: 01-30-22

This scholarly review of both the history and process of Tantra has been a game changer for me. Of particular value is the author's keen ability to deliver precise meaning to concepts that are difficult to describe in general and are often shrouded in a cultural and/or spiritual vernacular entirely foreign to Westerners.

Prior to purchasing I read a review about the author being the narrator and how the reviewer didn't particularly enjoy the narrator. It's complete nonsense. Unadulterated horse-puckey! The author should be commended for his reading of his book. He has done a superb job and is quite pleasant to listen to.If your gripe is about the narration of the book, perhaps consider spending more time on the meditation cushion.

There is so much in this book to be thankful for; it is truly a treasure that I will listen to again and again.

Mind Blown

Revisado: 07-09-21

In chapters five, six and ten B Alan Wallace writes some of the most profound, succinct, and skilful articulations of the nature of mind and reality that I have ever read. This was an unimaginably good read, and I can't wait to start it all over again... like, now.

Truly inspirational

Revisado: 06-01-21

In one of the very last slogans Traleg Rinpoche asserts that there is no difference between the Eastern mind and the Western mind. True, but not all Eastern teachers have the penchant for making Eastern teachings as accessible to the Western mind like Traleg Rinpoche does. Trungpa Rinpoche comes to mind, and just like Trungpa Rinpoche's writings this book is an absolute joy to hear, over, and over, and over again

A Unique, Delightful Characterization of AI

Revisado: 12-26-20

What really struck me about this book was how imaginative, yet entirely plausible, is Ann Leckie's vision of the evolution of AI. And plainly, this is a fantastic story told by a master story teller. Furthermore, the performance is stellar. Specifically, I appreciate the way Adjoa Andoh is able to seamlessly weave together accents, both familiar and unfamiliar, that themselves illustrate a tale of status and class. Superb, just superb!!
