Grossly dishonest, delusional, and deranged

Revisado: 08-05-23

The author may once have been intelligent, but anger has made him irrational and hate has, apparently, destroyed his ability to reason. This is not an analysis of history: it’s a rage-filled polemic whose only discernible purpose is to enrage gullible readers and suppress their intellects. To dismantle every dishonest argument would take more space than a review allows, and would not change the minds of any of the already deluded and enraged readers,

So much of this book is delusion and disinformation hiding behind the most basiof rhetorical trickery. Horowitz is not wrong about every single fact. But fifteen percent has never been a passing mark.

Funny and lovely

Revisado: 07-23-23

“What’s the most embarrassing thing we could do to this sweet girl at this point in the story? Ok, let’s do that.”

This is the most fun read I have had in a long while.

A book of its time, but…

Revisado: 08-30-22

Certainly of interest to those deeply interested in the history. It certainly shows its age as a work of literature, but it could have been made listenable. Unfortunately the narration is so wretchedly pompous that, almost from the beginning, it had me rooting for the French. I cannot recommend it.

A classic, and well produced

Revisado: 01-26-22

The book is a classic, and a very good piece of early post-apocalyptic science fiction. It’s well-performed, though I (with no expertise in this at all) would probably have chosen a slightly more literate, educated sounding accent. It definitely has the sound of a reading rather than a storytelling. On the other hand, it’s a memoir written in the first person, and actually works well presented this way.

Definitely Recommended.

Excellent production

Revisado: 07-16-20

The book is very good, but the narration really shines. Maslany has captured the nuance of Katniss’ internal monologue and wry humor beautifully. Her voicing of the characters is consistent and interesting. It’s a brilliant performance.: well-read and well-acted.

A great rendition of a classic

Revisado: 02-19-19

This book was a delight when it was first published, and this reading of it is excellent. Good pacing, accurate pronunciation, and not over-acted as so many audiobooks are. Mr Rudnicki’s performance is great. Highly recommended.
