Truly phenomenal

Revisado: 02-22-25

One of the most fantastic and interesting books I’ve ever listened to. Great narration and story telling. If I could give it more than five stars I would.

Truly fantastic. Gripping and heart-wrenching

Revisado: 02-08-24

Normally I just give five star reviews to any book I like as a thank you to the author, but this is different. This book was equal parts gripping and harrowing. There was so much about the Nakbe and the suffering of the Palestinians that I didn’t know, and at times I had to force myself to continue listening because what I was hearing was so terrible. Thank you so much to Ilan Pappe and the rest of the New Israeli Historians for all of your work. It has truly changes my outlook on life.

Good book, but it’s full of revisionist pro-mongol propaganda

Revisado: 02-01-24

Look I really liked the book and I almost never say anything bad about something I’ve read or listened to. So I’ll say it’s a good time and worth listening to, but boy does it paint the mongols in the best possible light and dance around the true horrors they committed with some very specious logic. Again worth listening to and you’ll learn a lot by doing it, but I don’t know how you write a book about how the mongols changed the world and brush off the insane amounts of systemic murder that huge parts of the world are still recovering from.

Fantastic work by Audible, but I’m convinced Josephus sold out his city and his people to the Romans

Revisado: 01-22-24

While I am very very glad this work of history survived, and while it was incredibly fun to listen to, Josephus is my new favorite person to hate. I won’t spoil anything, but I very much doubt that much of what he said about how he survived and fell into the hands of the Romans is true.

Andy Serkis is Peerless

Revisado: 11-13-23

I am honestly sad and dejected that I am at the end of the LOTR books Andy has narrated. Truly hoping audible signs him up for more.

I would pay 10x as much and still call it a bargain

Revisado: 10-26-23

Andy Serkis is incredible and the perfect narrator for this series. Please Audible if you are reading this review keep hiring him to do more of everything but in particular Tolkien’s work.

14/10 Andy Serkis is Everything

Revisado: 10-11-23

Fantastic performance of a wonderful book. Andy Serkis digs in and slays every word while chewing on every scene and belting out every song with undisguised joy. Absolutely worth your time.

Andy Serkis is a treasure.

Revisado: 10-08-23

This version was a true and unrelenting joy to listen to. I hope Audible hires Andy to do as many projects and spin offs as his heart desires.
