Well done with one flaw

Revisado: 08-11-24

This is a significant biography of probably the most important statesman of our age, Russia's president Putin.

The author does well avoiding most opportunities for open bias throughout discussion of Putin's youth and rise to power. But the closer the narrative got to the present, the more biases began popping in. On topics of Covid and the Ukraine, among others, the author injects his bias in favor of the neo-liberal establishment's position. if he could have left that out it would have been an even more improvessive work.

Not that Good and Full of Politics

Revisado: 06-22-24

The author pushes his politics throughout the story. if you are a neoliberal hawk this will likely excite you. It checks all the boxes for them. It is pro-Deep State, anti-Russia, anti-China, pro-Ukraine and pro-war. It is like NBC News wrote the story. lol Naturally, I can't stand neoliberal warmongers. So, for me, the story wasn't very good. But I'm sure about half of this country would love it.

Entertaining & Emotional But...

Revisado: 05-30-23

The story is compelling and gives an interesting description of the horrors of hell and wonders of heaven. Unfortunately, it also mixes in some confused theology on the Trinity. The writer depicts Jesus as a creation of God the Father rather than an eternal person of the Trinity, equal to the Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is depicted as not all knowing or all powerful. Needless to say, this is not a Biblical or traditional view of the Trinity. We are told in John 1:1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

Despite this problem, the story is still worth listening to. I do wish a professional narrator had been used to read it though.

Not bad except for...

Revisado: 04-22-23

I have enjoyed these books for the most part. This last one had a graphic and unnecessary interracial sex scene that was disgusting. Except for that and the heavy focus on sex I enjoyed the story.

Really enjoyed this novel

Revisado: 03-18-23

I thought this novel about the normally unseen spiritual war going on around us on a daily basis was fantastic.

Perfect Blend of SciFi & Rural Southern

Revisado: 09-24-22

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The narrator was perfect for the story. The Sci Fi aspects of the story were interesting. And the rural Southern aspect of the story was captivating and so well done. As someone who grew up and lives in the rural South I found that it is one of those rare books about the South that doesn't try to push an agenda or patronize readers.

Rubbish

Revisado: 09-17-22

I went into this with an open mind. But even fantasy has to have some symblance of plausibility to it. This story was awful and when it tied into super heroes it just lost me completely. I am going to return it. the production was good. The story was just awful.

Perfect

A perfect short story. Didn't need to be longer. And it could not have been shorter. Expertly crafted.

Depressing

Revisado: 04-03-22

Not sure what I was looking for in this book but what I found was a well written but depressing book about an alien place to me - NYC. The author beats the reader over the head with the race issue while describing a place I would never want to live or even visit. The reader can sympathize with the main character, but he is still a terrible, corrupt man caught up in a corrupt system in an alien city of violence, anger, despair and faithlessness. Ulimately, I came away wishing the main character had never been born and that this awful Gotham had never been built.

Peak Gray Man

Revisado: 02-20-21

Greaney returns to form after probably the worst book (One Minute Out) in a brilliant series with one of his best yet. Loved really everything about Relentless and am already eager to find out what happens to Hanley, Zoya, Zack and Court.
