Ambitious

Revisado: 01-29-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I cannot imagine a more ambitious project than trying to capture the entire history of humankind in a single volume. I enjoyed this book. a great deal not only for its content but because of the excellent narrator. while it is impossible for a book of this breadth to go into great depth in each subject, I'm more eager to explore on my own some of the subjects with which the author dealt

Super good. I disagree with the other with the other reviewers about the lengthy character development. I think it was just perfect. I can't wait for the sequel

The full cast dramatization was fantastic. Far better than the best radio play. Highly recommended.

thought provoking

Mr Bostrom's meticulously thought out analysis of artificial general intelligence is tremendously interesting. Mr Ryan's narration is a treat and makes listenable the books dense prose

Simon Vance's performance is spectacular and the book is a work of genuine genius. As long as it was, I look forward to listening to it again.

Great narration -- not a bad story either!

Would you listen to Emperor Mollusk Versus the Sinister Brain again? Why?

Probably not, but I have recommended it to a friend who enjoyed it as well.

What about Scott Aiello’s performance did you like?

Top notch narration. Really understood the characters. This is one case in which the narration made a good book really excellent.

Excellent and creative story. Decent narration.

If you could sum up Between the Strokes of Night in three words, what would they be?

FIrst a disclaimer: I am a fan of hard science fiction and of Charles Sheffield in particular. Although there are works of his that I have liked more than Between the Strokes of Night, it is an excellent stand-alone story. Sheffield creates an entirely internally consistent universe and I appreciate that he does not feeling an obligation to engage in long expository to explain every last element. The characters are rich. Melissa Edris's narration does not do the novel the justice it deserves but neither does it completely detract from it. It annoyed me that she did not know how to pronounce some fairly mainstream words which were not neologisms of Sheffield's. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it very much and am delighted that Audible has added several of Sheffield titles that they had not offered before.
