Russian literature just became a little more approachable

i’m not sure I’m going to go out and get books by Tolstoy, Turgenev or others in this course, but to hear really talented readers present the short stories, and hear George Saunders review them, at least gives me a foot –in–the-door to understanding what we are supposed to be getting from them.

Wonderfully done; would be better in video.

Revisado: 01-21-22

dr. Michael Wysession is so well-in ormed in his subject (and just about everything related to it) that he is able to pull off an audio recording of his course without leaving the listener feeling completely shortchanged. I enjoyed these recordings during my treadmill workouts, and they made the time fly! The audio was great, but it’s very clear that this was originally recorded as a video presentation. Although I really learned a lot, it would have been better in video. If you are torn between the audio and the video courses, my suggestion is you go with the video. However, if it’s audio or nothing, your time will still be really, really well spent. Highly recommend it.

first class story; first class performance!

Revisado: 11-20-21

I am a fan of Nickolas Butler’s writing, so I knew this novel was going to be good. It was! However, I think I’m going to reserve this review to praise the performance by John Orsini. we have four primary characters and at least half a dozen secondary ones, all voiced so distinctively and convincingly that there is no difficulty telling them apart. The use of his vocal stylings to render the experience of a methamphetamine “high“ also deserves to be admired in and of itself.
An excellent performance of an excellent novel. Highly recommended. I am keeping it in my iPad so I can let other people listen to it.

well researched, but too many plot lines left unresolved.

Revisado: 10-10-21

this is my third novel by Jodi Picoult. As with the previous two, she has researched her subject meticulously. She is extremely knowledgeable about autism and Asperger syndrome. In that regard, there is much to admire in her work. However, she has several significant plot lines left dangling, which - by comparison with previous works - is out of character. However, it was a fascinating lesson, and well worth the time and trouble.

Ironic: those who most need to read this, are the least likely to want to.

it is delightful and instructive to hear the book narrated by its author. To hear Native American teachings spoken by a Native American gives a deeper appreciation for their message.
I liked the book, and gave it five stars in general. The chapters tend to jump around somewhat, but the overall theme was well reinforced. The author is a very, very skilled writer and speaks with a forceful, poetic language.
I think copies of this book should be required reading in a lot of business schools. I would love to see it as core curriculum to computer-code writers and other folks who probably need a little better exposure to nature rather than computer screens.
