Would love to listen, but it won't play.

When I try to play it, I get a message "an error has occured". It is unfortunate.

Hard to believe this work was ever popular.

Revisado: 06-22-21

I thought I would listen to the original since I have seen so many movies. The books story line is more interesting than the movies, but there is so little to this story. The bulk of the novel is written about the feelings of the main characters and are way too descriptive and take away from the narrative. Additionally the author would have us believe that on his deathbed Frankenstein would have spent an entire chapter describing the european sites instead of relating the important facts to the scribe. I had a hard time staying interested in this story.

The naration was decent but the narrator used a very melancholy tone for the entire work, which doesn't match the text.

Interesting

I was hoping it would communicate something a little less abstract. The research and naration are good.

A very good introduction

Revisado: 06-07-21

This work does a good job of explaining the origins of Chinese philosophy, which is based mainly on social norms and traditions more than a mythological belief system. It goes further to explain how Chinese philosophy has changed through several movements in history and how closely it related to Buddhism. I found it interesting how many of the teachings seem to parallel the teachings of Jesus. It makes one wonder how much Judaic thought was influenced by Eastern traditions.

THIS is what needs to be taught in High School

People don't realize just how closely economic policy and philosophy are linked. Our views on economics have probably had the most significant impact on western culture than any other single factor. This was an eye opening experience.

Fun to listen to

I didn't get anything out of the main text, and at times it is hard to visualize what the author is describing. Honestly, the preface/forward was the most interesting part. I liked the history lesson and it makes me more interested to learn Japanese culture and history. The narration was very good.

I don't like the book, but the narration is good.

Always enjoyed the Disney version, which is close to the book. However, I didn't like hearing/reading the book. Scarlet Johansson is a good narrator. She didn't sound like a professional, more like an aunt telling a fairy tale, but that's what I liked about it.

It's what you would expect.

I enjoyed this work, the narration was very good and the content interesting. It is a translation of three early works of religions teachings. I only wish the author/translator had prefaced the work with a history of how these documents came into modern times. He states it is an oral tradition that was finally written down, but who wrote it down? When was this supposed to have been written? How was it found? What was the supposed chain of custody? I know these works belong to the mystics and they love the esoteric, but how do they determine the documents authenticity?

A very interesting read, very technical.

Revisado: 06-07-21

I really enjoyed this book, it is well written and well narrated. In this book the author makes a very strong argument that based on the narrative alone, creationism and evolution cannot stand together. the creation story completely contradicts the evolution story.

Scientific Creationism rightly points out that neither evolution nor creationism can be proven or be considered science. Neither can be considered science simply due to the fact that neither can be observed and neither can be experimented on. Which is the right lens to view any theory through, any theory is only theory unless an experiment can prove the validity of the theory.

The author makes references to many studies, research papers, and scientific findings to make the argument for a young earth. The examples stated by the author seem to provide compelling evidence for the theory.

The amount of information contained in the book is staggering, much referring to the geologic column and the methods used for dating rocks and fossils. When I have more time, I intend to buy this book so that I can go through each claim and check it's veracity myself.

Great book, bad narration

Revisado: 06-07-21

This book does a great job of giving useful tips on developing ideas, protecting them, and marketing them. It references many useful resources and I could really see how an inventor could use this to help them get their product to market. The author is witty, writes very well, and provides insight.

The narrator, however, made listening to it an absolute chore. I would have turned it off if I wasn't determined to hear the content of the book. The narrator has a robotic cadence devoid of any emotion. Every story or joke was told without any inflection or warmth, which ruined the intended effect of the author. Additionally, the narrator's robotic reading was worsened by the moaning or groaning of the last syllable of every sentence. He made the ending syllable of almost every sentence two or three syllables long. I had to keep stopping and switching to music just to make it through.
