Setting the record straight

Revisado: 04-13-24

Only 2 hours and 11 minutes. I think a 20-hour detailed laundry list of all of this creature's crimes against humanity would be too short. My biggest regret when I listen to a book like this is that we can't dig her up, reanimate her, and hold her accountable for her crimes. These crimes and hypocrisies should have been addressed to her face with criminal consequences. She should have been forced to reveal her truth ... forced to stop talking in quips and platitudes... forced to reveal to the world the complete evil behind her veneer. BTW, EXCELLENT BOOK!

Total hogwash

Revisado: 11-17-23

Claims coincidence of events has mystical significance. Claims research and study results that cannot be found or if found are not peer-reviewed double-blind studies. Like so many things being hawked in the business world you need faith/god/religiosity. I am fed up with people peddling religious claptrap as cure-alls. If you didn't hear the godliness in this book reread it and ask yourself "does this sound like a Sunday school lesson for 3rd graders?" Even if the words 'god' and 'faith' are missing the book is pushing concepts that require christian beliefs or morality. Use this book in a diverse office and wait for the complaints from non-christians.

I returned it... most difficult book to listen to

Revisado: 06-30-22

This book is read in a rambling and disjointed manner that makes it painful to listen to. Absolutely not what I was expecting from Eddie Izzard.

Stream of consciousness is interesting and sometimes wildly funny, but even the most violent stream has a starting point, a general direction, and an ending. There may be the incidental whirlpool that misdirects you or a slow-moving wide spot that drags on for a bit but this book was more like the explosion of a skyrocket... every thought seemed to move at break-neck speeds in all directions with no order. There might be 8 or 9 words that started a sentence and then branched to a "footnote." Before trying to come back to finish the sentence one footnote might have a footnote of its own or a subplot to the main storyline. Truly painful to listen to.

There's a lot missing. Total garbage!

Revisado: 04-05-20

This is one of those "I'd give it zero stars if it was possible" books. I listened to the entire 72 hours and 58 minutes and don't get the sense that I've heard the bible. Without a doubt, I'm NOT a biblical scholar but my recollection of the older versions of the bilbe that the Methodists used in the 60s and 70s this version of the bible is missing substance. I never knew that a bible could be published with such a lack of depth.

Love this series

Revisado: 12-10-19

Excellent books! I have one left and can't wait to start it. There is a lot of twisted history and folklore in the stories.

Great Theory

Revisado: 07-23-18

The theory was good but it might be better as a face-to-face presentation. I feel like this was the lecture and now I'm ready for the lab work. I want Q&A, specific examples with photos and video... something to reenforce the concept.

Excellent book

This is an excellent book. I loved the national history that coincides with my family's history.

Very good book -

Revisado: 01-09-18

I liked the accessibility of the content. The author was able to keep technical content simple enough to not need a paper and pencil that calculate along with him.

Interesting

Revisado: 06-29-17

I found this book interesting. The whole WWII/Hitler history is something that I grew up studying in school and hearing about from family who fought in it.

This book provided a thorough analysis of the rise of Hitler. The idea that it was ALL Hitler's design and fault, but that there were dozens of "movements" or "philosophies" that were already building foundations, for what became Nazi Germany, long before Hitler was known was an interesting thought. For me it re-enforced the idea that Germans were responsible for not just letting Hitler happen but they actually had parallel ideas and encouraged Hitler.

One was... Eugenics wasn't a Hitler-only concept forced on the German people... there had been discussions in political and medical arenas for years prior to the first Nazi political vote.

Also, listen for similarities to modern world politics. There are glaring similarities to a current leader who is a known megalomaniac.

Very disappointing... Too many discliamers.

Revisado: 05-26-16

Too many disclaimers and repeats of "I'm a famous cartoonist"... Listening became tedious. Don't give up your day job.
