Great performance!

Revisado: 12-30-24

Great story. Great performance. It’s an annual tradition to watch various versions of this story (especially the muppet one), but this was the first time I listened to the whole story. What a great delivery of this truly timeless classic. Listening to this will become a new annual tradition.

Inconvenient Truths.

Revisado: 08-13-24

This book forced me to rethink what I thought I knew about Islam. I now understand why so many white girls in America and Europe are being raped by Islamic migrants. What I don’t understand is why the West allows it and why even Russia, the recent historic defender against Islamic aggression, is now allied with Islamic powers.

Wow. So powerful.

Revisado: 06-03-24

An unbelievable blend of history, biography, cultural criticism, and storytelling, authenticated by painstaking research and bound by incredible prose.

The narrator conveys the text with depth of emotion and has a rich, pleasing pace and texture. High recommended.

Excellent presentation. Crappy cover art.

Revisado: 07-01-23

The Rings of Power cover art is garbage and has nothing to do with the book. This audiobook used to have wonderful cover art which matched the book’s story. I have no idea why it was changed to something irrelevant and Non-Tolkien.

Rob Inglis gives a nearly flawless reading. It’s beautiful . The books themselves are of course beyond compare, even if Amazon tried to bastardize it for its own counterfeit purposes.

One of my favorite books

Revisado: 05-28-23

I read or listen to this book once a year or so ever since I first read in several years ago. I love these characters. I love this story. The vocal talent is incredible. Truly helps you step into the experiences of the characters.

Some reviews have complained about repetition, but this is how people actually think, when you consider internal monologues. Everyone has a reasonable agenda and they are focused on it, and act in very normal ways. When people are intransigent or focused on a single goal, they do tend to say the same things over and over. I found the repetition helpful, because it helped me to remember their motivation and also helped with solving the mystery. Excellent work!

Spectacular research and performance.

Revisado: 11-22-20

A needed supplement to Herbert’s and other authors’ biographies, Reynolds immerses us in the culture and overlooked influences in Lincoln, whose progressive views I hadn’t realized and really amazed me. A wonderful book delivered spectacularly by Nixon, who appropriately conveyed nuances of amusement, sorrow, sarcasm, and disdain, as well as regional accents, and made the text come alive. I was so moved and inspired by this, I’m purchasing a copy of this book for my library, and my reading will no doubt be in Nixon’s voice.

Brilliant performance.

Revisado: 10-15-20

A brilliant performance by narrator Tamaryn Payne. I was extremely moved by many of the passages and how they were portrayed. Well done.

Repair what the plutocracy has broken.

Revisado: 08-19-17

The time for plutocracy is over. I came to this book from an editorial in the Wall Street Journal. I was surprised at the position the author was thinking from but decided to continue with an open mind. This book challenged many of my preconceptions about market capitalism and libertarianism in the age of digital overlords. I was stretched and grew from absorbing this material.

Lovers of privacy, freedom, thinking, and artistic creation, please consider this book carefully. Allow it to disturb and motivate you. It certainly did me.

The author's voice is pleasant to listen to as well, although I chose the speed of 1.25x. It's a well mixed production. Good job!

Fun and insightful analysis.

Revisado: 06-05-16

I'm a longtime fan and student of Dr. Olsen. I appreciate his interest in bringing academic thoughts regarding Tolkien to the wider audience.

In this book, which he delivers in his own voice with passion and practiced pace, I felt like I was engaging The Hobbit again for the first time, having new elements of the story brought to light, adding new enjoyment and delight in Tolkien's story.

Riveting.

The delivery and content of this held me spellbound. The colonel must have been a remarkable man.
