Some really interesting but overall lacks tension

Revisado: 10-27-23

I really appreciated the native centric story- finally a ghost where native mythology isn’t some trope. There are many good kernels in this story but I think they overall construction leaves them muddled and not clearly developed. When tensions hits it took me 2,,3,4 listens to try and figure out the chain of events. And the narrator fails to realize that this is a performance not just a reading - when the tensions hits perform tensions instead he monotones across every climatic scene. But overall I enjoyed it and it’s uniqueness

Probably the best great course I’ve listened to

Revisado: 06-16-23

This is the first great course about any history that I’ve listened to where the lecturer actually presents a different take on history than what every western history book bothers to teach. I appreciated the new insights provided by his fresh perspective and his ability to give voice to the Native American viewpoint.

Opportunity missed

Revisado: 06-04-23

The setting and setup promised a good take that didn’t come. All setting no story- a good premise that the author failed to do much with

Native Alaska storytelling

Revisado: 11-12-21

Not the most interesting crime novella but it’s still a fascinating view into Native Alaska and rural Alaska’s ways of life

Nice easy evaluation of the concept of monsters

Revisado: 11-07-21

I find the negative reviews surprising. This course in monsters is a pretty typical dime a dozen analysis of its topic. But to see so many snowflake audible reviews get triggered over the idea that King Kong has racist undertones or that early filmmaking presented only negative views of black people - ideas that are so universally accepted as true that I can’t believe someone hearing it today gets so triggered into a phony hurt ego panic. No one gets triggered when the thing and invasion of the body snatchers are explained as Cold War metaphors - which again are common and dime a dozen observations. Perhaps debunking monster conspiracy theories is not what fragile Americans want to hear or accept.

Mediocre sequel

Revisado: 09-03-21

Not much of a story and Doesn’t expand the fantastic world Nnedi created in the original. It seemed like a filler story with not much character growth or new development. It barely held my attention, which is a shame because I loved the first book

Unoriginal collection of new age conspiracy theory

Revisado: 08-14-21

It’s a detailed list of esoteric philosophy filled with the typical list of DaVinci code-esque conspiracy theories. Same old same old new age nonsense with nothing original to say. And the book states disproven quack theories again and again has if they were proven facts. The book acts as if the made up duval stones prove Atlantis and actually said that Indian independence was the the most peaceful in history forgetting to mention the millions who died in the partition.
