It is the last decade of the 19th century. The Wild West has been tamed and its fierce, independent and often violent larger-than-life figures – gun-toting wanderers, trappers, prospectors, Indian fighters, cowboys, and lawmen –are now victims of their own success. They are heroes who’ve outlived their usefulness.

Better Than Fiction
Revisado: 05-22-12
What made the experience of listening to The Floor of Heaven the most enjoyable?
All three main characters were fully developed. I felt like I knew them, good and bad, and found myself wishing all three could get what they wanted (even the "bad" guy).
What did you like best about this story?
Very detailed and descriptive. I felt like I was there.
Also, the way the three different stories were weaved together. Nicely done.
Which scene was your favorite?
If I told you, it would spoil the whole book. Let's just say that the climactic scene is all the more enjoyable because...it really happened!!!
If you could rename The Floor of Heaven, what would you call it?
Three Men and a Pot of Gold
Any additional comments?
Great read/listen for summer vacations.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 40
In 1907 Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung began what promised to be both a momentous collaboration and the deepest friendship of each man's life. Six years later they were bitter antagonists, locked in a savage struggle that was as much personal and emotional as it was theoretical and professional. In between them stood a young woman named Sabina Spielrein, who had been both patient and lover to Jung and colleague and confidante to Freud before going on to become an innovative psychoanalyst herself.

What disappointed you about A Most Dangerous Method?
The endless recitation of psychological theories. The plot was constantly interrupted and I gave up in frustration.
Has A Most Dangerous Method turned you off from other books in this genre?
No
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
It made me want to learn more about this story. Hope there is a better book out there.
Any additional comments?
This is the kind of non-fiction writing that gives non-fiction a bad name.

Every schoolchild learns about the mutually beneficial dance of honeybees and flowers: The bee collects nectar and pollen to make honey and, in the process, spreads the flowers' genes far and wide. In The Botany of Desire, Michael Pollan ingeniously demonstrates how people and domesticated plants have formed a similarly reciprocal relationship.

Just awful. The author goes off point, repeats himself, and never proves his original hypothesis. Complete waste of time.
