depressing stuff!!

Revisado: 07-14-24

if youre just trying to get through the classics as a bucket list thing, this is one way to do it. maggie gyllenhaal's narration is superb. but while i enjoyed a lot of war and peace, i found this book to be mostly about why humanity is pathetic and everybody sucks. guessing tolstoy was in a pretty dark place when he wrote this. and its not dark in a "life is hard but its also beautiful/ theres hope!" kind of way, in spite of some philosophical silver linings at the end (id recommend just reading the last few chapters and ignoring everything else if you want a taste of A.K.). its dark in the "you are all idiots are your desires are all evil" kind of way. of all the famous books ive listened to pre 1900 or so, such as don quixote, middlemarch, count of monte cristo, crime and punishment, and moby dick, this was by far my least favorite. but hey, that might just be me. recommend listening to basically anything else if you arent just checking this one off your list like i was-

always a pleasure enjoying shustermans work, he keeps this series alive and thought provoking even with the third book. liked it more than book 2, which was also fantastic. thank you thank you-

some weird stuff, but interesting and surprisingly entertaining for being so old. some stories better than others, but i cant be too picky, its 700 yrs old. enjoyed the narration, thanks to all who made this available

well written, incredible characters, voice actors perfect. fun start to a fantasy series. only reason for 4 rather than 5 stars is that im still not feeling super engaged by the plot/ setting (even though I love the unique and entertaining characters. prob best written characters in any book I've ever read. And certain aspects of the world building- like the ban on eating human flesh and the house of the maker- are definitely interesting/ cool). would recommend to any scifi/ fantasy lovers.

if you don't like first chapter you won't like it

great narration. found nietszche's truth claims repetitive and uncompelling, although ill admit they were poetic at times ;). for a first time nietzche reader id recommend beyond good and evil over this.

interesting words from one of the greatest intellectuals of the 20th century. only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is I was expecting a philosophy book masquerading as erotic art history and actually it's mostly erotic art history. still amazing and insightful, just maybe don't get this if you are expecting one of paglia's lectures primarily on western culture, bc (as the title perhaps might suggest) this book is basically about sex :). however would recommend first few chapters to anyone, her thoughts there are far reaching on not primarily focused on literary criticism. I also personally really enjoyed the part on Wilde. happy reading all-
