Required reading for Bible Scholars.

Great history, great narration. Amazing some of the stark realities that people in other times have faced.

Certainly a persuasive argument.

Revisado: 02-07-23

Certainly a persuasive and revolutionary argument; should not be missed by students of Roman History and/or the Bible. From the comments it appears that the narration was hit or miss for some, but I thought the narrator did an excellent job.

Indispensable!

Revisado: 04-16-20

This book is indispensable for understanding the ideas and the personalities that were in play in first-century Palestine. The book is over forty hours long, but is so densely packed with information that you always have to pay attention. However, this is not difficult as the narrator is truly excellent and the information is fascinating. Yes, as one reviewer said, I think a section or two of the book is repeated, but I didn't mind this at all, as it only served to help me absorb the material. This is certainly one to listen to more than once, as I have not seen any Bible scholar who's been able to dive so deeply into the subject matter. In my opinion, extremely brilliant and highly recommended!

Kinda boring, but awesome ending.

Revisado: 08-13-17

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

Not entirely. This book was better than the first one, but except for periodic fist and firefights, it seemed slow. The story was mostly character driven, and that, I must say, was very well done. However, I bought the book as a time travel book, and that aspect of it was neither innovative or primary.

If you’ve listened to books by R. R. Haywood before, how does this one compare?

I really thought I was onto a hot one with the first book, especially given the reviews. However, the second half of that book really took a nose dive, being primarily about Ben's depression about his time displacement.

Which scene was your favorite?

The very ending, without doubt, and it redeems the whole project--even to the extent that I would likely listen to a third book if one should come out.

Do you think Executed needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

It won't kill me if one doesn't. While I loved the ending, it took a lot of perseverance to get there, and would be satisfied if it really was . . . The End.

Any additional comments?

Given all the fantastic comments, I thought I should add a dissenting voice, for the books certainly did not seem to me as good as many of the books I've listened too, and I've listened to over 150 Audible books. I'd give these two a six out of ten. But dang, that was a really good ending!!

Great History, Great Men, and Great Adventures.

Where does The Invention of Nature rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Very highly. This book has everything!

What did you like best about this story?

The swath of important history, but also the insight into all the famous personalities involved, from Goethe to Jefferson to Napoleon to Darwin and more!

What does David Drummond bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Very good, fitting narration.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Meet the most influential man that you've never heard of!

Any additional comments?

Humboldt was perhaps the most famous man of his day, and his ideas hold a central place in our modern culture.
