Listen if you’re a fan of Dante and/or the Blood Angels

Revisado: 10-17-24

This is the third in a trilogy: Dante, The Devastation of Baal, and Darkness in the Blood. This book takes place a few months after the devastation of Baal. While it’s a good book that helps further the story, it is the weakest of the three books. It’s just kind of there, like some kind of filler fluff, but it does a great job of following Dante in the present and showing how he handled struggles early in his career as a captain to Chapter Master. It also shows Mephiston cross the Rubicon.

Need motivation? This is where you’ll find it.

Revisado: 04-19-24

Written and read by a former U.S. Navy SEAL, this books teaches you to disregard negativity, defeatist mindsets, and victim mentalities. It’s a guide for being your best self, through confidence, discipline, and humility. Not only are the fundamentals discussed, but real world examples are given, as well as techniques for improvement you can do yourself in everyday situations. GUTS is a modern day guide on the philosophy of Stoicism, and I would recommend everyone read it and ask themselves if they’re truly living as the best version of themselves.

Great Rendition

Revisado: 04-02-24

Dan Stevens delivers a performance worthy of an epic Greek drama. If you’ve wanted to read the Iliad, I would highly recommend this version.

The best version yet!

Revisado: 01-27-23

There have been so many different versions of this put to film and up until now my favorite version has been the George C Scott one, but nothing beats the original. Charles Dickinson always impresses me with his brilliant wit and comedic timing. To top it off, Tim Curry absolutely nails it! This had me feeling genuinely happy throughout and ready to applaud by the end of it!

This book succinctly describes Buddhism from its formation through its denominations into the current day

Revisado: 01-18-23

This is a very well voice acted, entertaining, and educational book. I was able to learn a lot about not only about the origins and practices of Buddhism, but the many different that follow a slight variation throughout the different countries, belief systems, and time periods. If you’re interested in Buddhism at all, this is a great piece of work to broaden your education on the matter and perhaps to help steer you towards a particular viewpoint, if you were wanting to practice Buddhism

Horror done right! It’s a great read, unsettling, and realistic

Revisado: 01-05-23

It was very well voice acted, suiting the tone perfectly. I actually had to look up whether this was a true story or not, it was so convincing. It made me think of the book the shining, and realize how much better this book is than that one, and I guess that’s saying a lot. This may be the best book I’ve ever seen in the horror genre

Fantastic voice acting!

Revisado: 12-31-22

This story is about twice as long as it needs to be and paradoxically rushes to an ending at the last. A TON of the dialogue is simply the same sentence being repeated slightly different over and over and many appear to be pointless. The story is great however, up until the 1/3rd point. Before David goes back to school for the second time and after he meets his Aunt, I was ready to rate this as my favorite book but after that, the 2/3rds that remained were a real slog that was occasionally broken by some great moments. Don’t get me wrong, Charles’s Dickinson is a very talented writer and it’s a joy to listen to his mastery of the dramatics. It’s just too long. Thankfully Richard Armitage is a joy to listen to. I might have abandoned listening to it, we’re it not for how skilled he was at reading this.

Now this is how an audiobook should be done!

Revisado: 12-19-22

Not only was the story very well done and delivered in a interesting and realistic format, but the voice acting was top notch across-the-board. This was thoroughly entertaining and I really wish we had of gotten this as a movie instead of the one with Brad Pitt. That movie did not do this awesome book justice.

Dropping with style

Revisado: 12-12-22

This is a very captivating book with a voice all of its own. It’s nice to read something utterly unique. The last chapter wasn’t originally published in America and I can kind of see why. The story was a little bit stronger, leaving it out. But it was cool getting to hear the complete unabridged version to decide for myself.

Better than the movie! Felt kinda like Metal Gear Solid 3

Revisado: 12-08-22

This book was surprisingly well done! I don’t know what I was expecting, considering that the movie was a little over the top and kind of unbelievable. But this book took pains to make Rambo a more sympathetic and believable character. It was really cool getting to see him break bad in Vietnam one last time. and, as an added bonus, this book had some very strong Metal Gear Solid 3 vibes, somehow written long before Metal Gear was a thing
