An ok but not amazing time

Revisado: 12-01-24

There's some fun stories about the making of Parks and Rec. There's also stories of Jim O'Heir's life - fair enough. There's an almost unhealthy amount of praise bestowed upon Chris Pratt. It's also weird that the guest sections are voiced by different people trying to sound like Mike Schur and the gang.

A wonderful story and perspective

Revisado: 04-12-24

If you are even thinking about giving this a listen, then you should. It's definitely worth it.

A satisfying conclusion

Revisado: 11-21-23

After reading the first two books several years ago thought I would finally get around to finishing the series. I'm very happy I did!

Best in the series yet!

Revisado: 10-11-23

I've listened to all four in the series so far and they are all wonderful. Each book introduces new characters that I want to hear more and more about. Can't wait for the next one!

I recommend discworld, but not this

Revisado: 05-13-23

I've read a few discworld novels previously and I've enjoyed them. This book is a bit of a fever dream. There is zero plot. Two characters walk around and the world tries to kill them. Every little bit the danger changes, but there is no real reason why anything happens. It's not terribly funny, but there is plenty of world building. Eventually it mercifully ends.
The narrator does a very good job with all of the parts.
Do yourself a favor and go read Postal instead, even if you've already read it. It's better than this.

why change voice actors?

Revisado: 04-16-23

this guy is fine. he's American and while not bad it's not as enjoyable as the previous voice actor.

A bit of a mixed bag

Revisado: 03-12-23

First off, the narration is quite good, but the audio mixing is horrible. Don't listen with headphones as it will jump back and forth between ears. The actual story is good if a bit long and redundant at times. It's 20+ hours and after 15 I was desperately looking to the end. I enjoyed the characters and the overall message(s) of the book. Professor Lovell is a wonderful villain/example of British academia. Yet I doubt it will be very memorable in 6 months or so. There's the good and the bad and at the end it maybe evens out.

The middle ages were complex apparently

Revisado: 05-12-22

The Bright Ages argues that the middle ages weren't dark. Plenty of things happened between the 4th and 16th centuries. People traveled and were aware of different peoples and their cultures. It wasn't all good; it wasn't all bad. It certainly wasn't the anglo dream white supremacists believe it to be. The story of the middle ages can't be told without contributions from those that spoke Latin, Arabic, Turkish, and many other languages. Just like today, the middle ages were complex.
