Forgiven

good but too repetitive

Revisado: 07-24-23

i do not usually want anything to do with abridged versions but his one would be improved by abridgment. The content is really important stuff but it’s buried in excessive word count. I think a lot of readers/listeners would be tempted to give up on it halfway through which is a shame.
If you are one of those readers thinking about giving up on this book in the goddess section, keep reading: it gets better and very worth completing.

Get this book if you are worried about being good enough or if you’re not

Revisado: 01-31-23

this is the ultimate self-help book because it shows that you can’t help yourself and you can’t tell that you can’t help yourself. You need to humbly ask God for His help. Like i do. Like everyone does.

not understandable to a nonSpanish speaker

Revisado: 08-20-22

not helpful. The pdf is just a vocabulary list. there is no written version of the dialogs and even tho the speaker says he’s saying the dialogs slowly, it is not slow enough. not worth the effort. Returning the book and will try another one.

Torture listening to the female narrator

Revisado: 01-16-18

the story was good, tho not as good as IDC, and Luke Daniels was usually quite good but the female narrator made this a very difficult book to get thru. Someone musical needs to compose the music for the singing of the poetry or it should be chanted rather than sung. That was the only time when Luke Daniels was difficult to listen to. Good voice and lyrics but lousy tunes. I miss Oberon. I’ll still probably get the sequel but would not recommend this book to anyone but diehard IDC fans.

THE most important book 2 listen 2 b4 election!

Revisado: 08-26-12

i had to buy the kindle version too so i could check the references. Very authoritative! Scary! What have we gotten ourselves into? I hope the electorate will get themselves informed rather than voting from emotions as happened last time. And I hope he is stopped from the massive voter fraud that he is trying to use to help hold on to power. I still agree with Martin Luther King Jr's dream that people should be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. That works both ways. This president is not our friend. He hates America and wants to destroy it. He's gotten lots of help in that and has made a good start. We have to stop him before it's too late.

Not 4 kids

Revisado: 12-01-07

I love kids' stories, I guess for their escapism. I thought this would be a childs adventure, but it wasn't. Not one that most children or preteens would find interesting, I think. And maybe not teens or adults. There were some moments of brilliant imagery. But, all told, it's one of my least favorite Audible stories so far.

Not a book for Gammas, Deltas or Epsilons

Revisado: 11-25-06

The story is brilliant; the language is unsettling at times but beautiful; the performance is inspired; the audio is flawless.
I grudgingly read this book in high school, but am sure I didn't understand it. It's almost impossible for a highschool student to have the cynicism necessary to understand this story; at least, I'm certain that I did not have it then.
Some highlights:
"What fun it would be if one didn't have to think about happiness."
"One of the principle functions of a friend is to suffer, in a mild and symbolic form, the punishment that we should like, but are unable, to inflict upon our enemies."

2 thumbs up, 1 thumb down

Revisado: 01-08-06

As always, Geraldine James is incredible, the best reader there is, as far as I'm concerned. Even better than Patrick Tull, and that's saying something. You know each character intimately from her portrayal.

I'm sure the story is excellent, though I'll have to wait until I find time to read the book to know. The abridgement was a hatchet job. With Gabaldon being as big of a seller as she is, she should stop letting idiots cut up her books. I've never understood the point of abridgment. If an author is worth reading, every word of every digression or background explanation adds to the story. Longer is better.
Please Diana, don't let them cut up your books anymore.

Every American should read/hear this book!

Revisado: 10-14-04

I love Europe and I thought I loved my country (America), but I never realized how much anti-Americanism I had internalized.

If you have any interest in challenging your thinking on the issue of America's place in the world, read this book!

If you want a refresher course in critical thinking, this is also an excellent book.
