amazing story

Revisado: 09-05-19

It's amazing to learn where Heddy Lamaar came from and what she contributed to our lives. Her invention of the hopping frequencies with specially coded sender and reciever sounds similar to the enigma machine the allies couldn't crack for a long time. Imagine if Germany had faced the same handicap with torpedoes.

puts me to sleep, not in a good way

Revisado: 04-07-18

While this book has some interesting anecdotes, it gets tiresome because there are thousands of them, and they are given quickly. The book becomes a blur and there doesn't seem to be a connecting story line, at least not one that you can follow. Perhaps it is enjoyable if you only listen to a couple chapters at a time, but I like listening to books end to end. The author talks about his wife and how they live in a place full of famous people, but I'm not sure he actually knows the famous people. It seems like he spied on them from afar rather than interacted with them. I'll be returning this book.

Too much research, too little practice

Revisado: 04-02-18

What disappointed you about The Heart of Centering Prayer?

The book sounds like someone reading a doctoral thesis in a hurry. The concepts presented are referred to as if they were part of a physics or philosophy lecture, making them dry and uninteresting.

Has The Heart of Centering Prayer turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, just turned me off from this author.

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator should slow down and use inflection at the right location. Even slowing the speed down to .85 it sounds fast. Slowing the speed more than that makes it sound like they're on drugs.

Any additional comments?

Read Teresa of Avila or Brother Lawrence, throw this book away.

Difficult listen

Revisado: 03-21-18

The narration for the book is tedious, and the book itself is very dry on a subject that should have more emotion. It sounds like a shopping list.

Decent book, horrible narration

Revisado: 06-20-14

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I tried to listen to this book but the narration was so awful I had to stop. I will read the book, but am returning the audiobook portion.

Would you be willing to try another one of Grover Gardner’s performances?

No.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes.

Good story but mildly annoying narrator

Revisado: 12-04-12

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I enjoyed this book. The storyline is very interesting, though it was a little difficult to keep the characters straight when the narrator is talking about Che's parents and grandparents.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Che Guevara?

The early years of Che on his motorcycle and the scams he pulls in the towns he visits.

Did Armando Durán do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

He has a pleasant voice but often mispronounces words, which is annoying since he seems to be a Spanish speaker.
