Mr.

I am life!

Revisado: 11-16-24

This could have been just one more PKD novel, with interesting premise and surprising ending, but somewhere in here Dick inserted a beautiful young girl, and her role in reminding us all of what life is.
This has become one of my favorite PKD novels. I highly recommend it.

Dick’s Gnostic epic continues!

Revisado: 09-23-24

Despite being called Valis 2, the story is very different: while Valis regarded Dick’s spiritual experience describe in hospice Exegesis, Divine Invasion is about God infiltrating Earth in the guise of an unborn baby. It deals with very interesting ideas from Christian Gnosticism, while repurposing some of Dick’s short stories. Looking forward to the “conclusion” in the next book!

Worth a shot thanks to narrator

Revisado: 08-16-24

Loved the narrator, great voice and conveys intense investment in the story being told. I would have preferred a book more focused on actual serial killers than fictitious ones. Worth the listen!

Unpredictable ending!

Revisado: 04-29-24

I understand this book was written in early 1950s, and the space race/atomic mutually assured destruction are the most important aspects in Clark’s mind when he justifies the arrival of the aliens. Interestingly, the aliens Only seem to watch over us like children playing around in a kitchen full of dangerous implements, but when we are finally ready, they truly reveal their intentions. I was greatly surprised by the entire plot within the plot. You may be turned down midway believing this will be just another scifi story from the 50s explaining how we all will have flying cars and work 2 days a week, but it goes way beyond that in the third act. I highly recommend, even though it is a bit dated.

Slow pace and not critic enough of psychic scammers

Revisado: 04-10-24

I suggest listening at least at 1.25x if not 1.5x. The author speaks too slowly with a soporific voice. Main issue for me was that the author goes on and on about the multiple clearly dishonest psychics, and only reports on how they were unmasked in the tail end of the book. Multiple times the stories told by the psychics are clearly made up, and author just reports them without any attempt to debunk them. I expected a more skeptical view of the topic, but this could be a book written by Fox Mulder: “I want to believe”.

New direction in Boxxy’s Saga!

Revisado: 04-06-24

This is a great leap forward in Boxxy’s saga! Less fan service and more mystery and intrigue! The production value is great as always! Glad Stain’s slurping was nerfed! Looking forward to next chapter!

Great story, worth sticking until the end

Revisado: 04-10-23

It took me a couple of false starts to get into this book, as the introduction is a little slow, and it is hard to understand where the author is going. Ultimately, the books establishes the context of end of victorian era when the tablets of Gilgamesh’s Epic were found, then goes on to biographies of the very different men responsible for the discovery. The most interesting part, for me, were the tales of Assyria’s fall, and its last great king, as well as the tale of the Epic itself. Thank you for the great stories!

Another great lecture from Professor Rufus

Revisado: 01-14-23

I have listened to multiple lectures from Professor Rufus, and in this one, like the others, he brings his passion and knowledge to present us with the wisdom of the great works of classic and modern literature. You will certainly enjoy it, you will laugh, you will cry, you will cheer, and above all you will become a better person.
