Review of Love of Life and Other Stories
Revisado: 05-25-16
I knew of Jack London but never read his material except that required in school and I can't recall anything specific from that. I decided to get this audio collection of short stories by Jack London to sample his work as a mature adult with life experiences behind me. I throughly enjoyed this short story collection. I'm not sure if I would have been able to enjoy the deeper meanings within the stories at a younger age because Jack London speaks on two levels. The narrator was excellent! His deep masculine and resonant voice embodied the characters and rugged environment in which they lived.

Historia
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plainold "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

Worst to date!

The reviews I read were highly overrated this marginal piece of fiction. I got the audio because of the reviews. The truth is the story is not only boring but not even reasonably credible if you've been associated with the military or NASA. The language and vulgarity is a little over the top and adds nothing to the story. The fact story got excellent says much about our society as a whole.

Historia
This powerful meditation illuminates the parable of the prodigal son found in Luke's Gospel. Nouwen discovers anew the reality that God's love is unconditional and shares his own spiritual journey with us. In this audiobook, Nouwen shares his own experience as the wayward son as well as the vengeful older brother and the compassionate father.

Reviews Overrated
Revisado: 05-28-15
I was disappointed not only by the reviews but the performance. I actually like story of the prodigal son and was expecting a masterpiece no pun intended. The reviews usually very reliable didn't filter out this mediocre book . Oftentimes the material was repetitious covering the same point over and over again at only slightly different angles. Absolutely too much emphasis was placed on the hands in attempt to covey more than was really there. It did have me studying the painting but that wasn't enough to convince me that what was seen by this author is what the artist intended to portray. Finally, Nouwen spent too much time on his going ons. I was beginning to think this was an autobiography; where is the story of The Prodigal Son? I liked the novel idea presented here about one person being all three persons: prodigal son, father and brother at various stages of life and the personal examples used by Nouwen in his own life in dealing the various stages. The performance was also below par with the monotonous tone of the speaker often putting me to sleep. There are some good things to take away but overall I would rate this book average. A good book is something that you will take up again to seek gold nuggets you might have missed. For me, that won't happen with this book.
