Not Getting Any Younger

Yet another totally unnecessary political diatribe

Revisado: 10-26-24

The main stories are good but the overall book is sullied by yet another political rant adding nothing. Stick to storytelling and leave your personal bias out.

So much better than Confederacy!

Revisado: 11-07-23

This book was so much better than the better known one despite being written at such a young age.

Great story!

If you’re a fan of Gregory Maguire or Christina Henry, this is for you. I’ve already added the rest of these “fairly true tales” to my wish list.

Somewhat hypocritical

Revisado: 05-01-23

Part of the author’s rant against this fraudulent “nonfiction” book is the inclusion of personal political slant, yet that’s exactly what is found in huge helpings in this “nonfiction” book. The book is rife with anti-religion, anti-conservative vitriol which add nothing to the story. “Hello, Kettle, this is Pot calling…”

Enough with the political rhetorical already!

Revisado: 12-15-21

Typically good story spoiled by endless propaganda. Stick to the stories - your political rhetoric adds NOTHING and in fact, detracts. Although not quite as egregious as The Law of Innocence, it was still annoying.

Unnecessary political rhetoric

Revisado: 11-21-20

Decent story but loaded with unnecessary political rhetoric. Stick to story telling, leave the politics alone.

Pass on this "performance"

Revisado: 11-27-19

I need to explain why I rated Story as 4 stars, I mean it's the bible so it should be an automatic 5 stars, right? The problem is this is a non-standard translation, based on but not identical to NIV. They should have stuck to the standard NIV translation.

The performance on the other hand is terrible! There is a lot of background sound that makes much of the reading very hard to hear, particularly in the Old Testament. Many of the narrators are awful, especially the ones who try to "sing" the Psalms and those who don't bother to learn proper pronunciation. Overall the Old Testament and the Gospels (including Acts) are tolerable but then come the epistolary books and everything goes downhill. The biblical books are randomly interrupted by tracks of caterwauling. I guess it's supposed to be music but it just sounds like noise and detracts from the scripture. And if that weren't annoying enough, there are chunks of text in the wrong order - the second half of a book comes before the first half of the book so you have to keep jumping around using the chapter controls. I was using this in conjunction with reading so I could see those errors but if you were only listening, you would be out of luck.

Next year I plan to use the NKJV that features an all star cast. I'm hoping it won't have similar technical glitches but I know the narration will be much higher quality.
