sobering

Fast-paced, graphic descriptions and dialogue. Narration fits the story perfectly. novel opens up a hidden world of terror that few North Americans ever see.

Wonderful story

Revisado: 01-03-23

I am not a sci-fi fan. Most sci-fi stories are about good guys (us) saving the world from bad guys (aliens), which is boring. But I bought this book on Audible's Daily Deal to see if it might be different.

It is. This story is warm, human, friendly, based on cooperation, not rivalry. The scientific explanations about time and distance and other stuff are way beyond my comprehension, but the personal relationships are easy to understand, genuine, delightful.

I love this story. The narration is excellent. I still don't like sci-fi, so I'm going to call this a inter-species friendship book. And I will start listening to it again right now.

very creatiive

Revisado: 07-17-22

Unusual story. Highly creative. Captivating. The last 10 minutes are a bit too preachy, but the rest of the story is excellent. I bought King's book on writing and then listened to The Dark Tower to compare King's advice to his actual writing. What I concluded was.... Read both books yourself and find out.

Dangerous

Revisado: 03-19-22

This book upsets me. it creates the fantasy that a handsome, rich Prince Charming awaits battered Cinderella as she gets out of a violent marriage. There are no Prince Charmings. All men and women are frogs. it is cruel to create the false hope for battered women that someone will provide an easy life for them and take care of them after they leave an abusive relationship. That is a dangerous lie.

Beautiful

Revisado: 05-04-21

This Pulitzer-prize winning book deserves the recognition it has received. The characters are well-developed, the story is intriguing, the narration is excellent. I cared about the characters, feared that something catastrophic would happen to the main characters, was pleased that hope always accompanied despair. There are few books worth reading a second or third time. This is one of those few.

History repeats itself

Revisado: 12-14-20

This book is a reminder that we unite to attack an external enemy, then after defeating the external enemy, we attack one another. That is happening again right now. We are all biased. none of us are saints. Washington was biased . He was not a saint. This book is a reminder that despite pettiness and jealousy and personal ambitions of those in power, our nation continues to survive. That is good news for this troubling time in our history.

Incredibly sad

Revisado: 10-19-20

I feet sad for Trump after reading this book. "Rage" shows that Trump rarely feels understood, safe, loved. He only trusts people who see him as the Messiah, above criticism. How sad to be so rich and be in such a powerful position and yet believe you have to fight almost everyone, every day, to survive. I don't excuse Trump's reckless and crude behavior, lies, blaming everyone else for his mistakes, or for his refusal to confront his own pain and grow up. He has caused great suffering for millions of people. But the man himself is isolated and miserable. We do need a more competent, more mature leader. However, we elected him as our leader, so we are complicit in his aggressions. Trump's rage reflects the tsunami of pain and rage in our society. He needs to face his own demons and grow up. We need to face our own demons and grow up.
"Rage" is so contemporary that it made me uneasy. It is well-documented and well-written. The narration is excellent.

Distressingly True

Revisado: 04-17-20

Great imagery, good story except that it is not truly fiction. it describes the terror that has traumatized families forever. The only fictional part is where justice is served. That does not happen in real life. Perhaps rarely. Not in my own family for 100 years.
