To long and to current

Revisado: 11-03-23

Not that much happening for such a long story. The imposition of modern social issues upon 14th century characters is a little strained.

17th century "Gone With the Wind"

Revisado: 04-19-23

I like historical fiction and was curious about this confusing era. However, the story was way to long and the main character's obsession with her "bad boy" grew tedious after the first 10 or 15 hours. The British aristocracy became pretty tedious as well. What a bunch of fops. I don't know who or what to blame for my dissatisfaction with the book. The characters in the story were disgusting, but maybe that is just a very good portrayal by the author. After all those hours listening to the story, I'm still confused about the era.

No real story

Just hours of gross and disgusting descriptions. Some folks like that so I gave it 2 stars.

Pointless

Revisado: 05-08-22

Just chapter after chapter of the main character being grossly tortured and killed. Can’t think of a redeeming quality.

A good history of how we’ve gotten to where we are

Revisado: 01-29-22

I had hoped I could find a little wisdom and guidance in this biography, but it seems Smedley was as perplexed as the rest of us about living in the belly of the monster. The author does a good job of tracing the events Smedley was involved in down to the predicaments we find ourselves in today.

Timely and Illuminatingly

Revisado: 09-20-18

My father was one of the weathermen that worked out tracking tornados on radar and later worked on the team that developed computer models for the weather. It was an international effort encompassing decades and billions of dollars in public funds. Attempts to privatize things like this can only lead to disaster and must be exposed.

waste of time and money

Revisado: 08-29-16

Starts out like a prequel, providing historical background for some of the characters in the other books, but the rest is just repeats from parts of the previous books. I can't imagine why anyone would want to listen to this.

Uncannily accurate

Revisado: 06-07-15

This story is quite possibly our future. The author seems to of done his homework on this one and it doesn't bode well for those of us living living it.

Good story flawed delivery

Revisado: 04-28-15

Good alien invasion story with a lot action and suspense. The narrator has a hard time with men's voices which made the story hard to listen to at times

Weak story

Revisado: 03-02-13

The performances were excellent. There were lots of interesting characters, good dialogue, and graphic descriptions. A bit to much of the latter. Christians against Mongols was the main theme and it was interesting but, we already know how that turned out. The other stuff, Popes and cardinals, witches and urchins, and warrior nuns, seemed pointless and unrelated. History wise, I come away wondering what to believe. That may be a good thing.
