Some great information, some large extrapolations

Revisado: 06-18-22

This book has some of the finest insights into sleep that I have had the pleasure of reading. Unfortunately, the author does tend
to start extrapolating minor points of data until they represent earth changing events like some academic scientists tend to do. Nonetheless this is an excellent compilation of insights and studies informing the reader of the value and ultimately, the power of a good nights rest.

Crazy in a good way

Revisado: 11-24-20

This is a wild ride of a memoir. Author and narrator Matthew McConaughey runs the gamut from wise sage to public menace. He has a fluidity of word and thought that runs just a little below genius and just a little above manic press of thought. It is thoroughly entertaining.

Diary style writing done well?

Revisado: 12-24-19

This book covers the growth of a teenage climber as told by a helicopter dad (no offense to the dad), but thats about it. It was well enough done but there is no interesting secret or revealed knowledge for the time investment.

Solid spy tome

Depressingly real, interesting because of it. The entire series is worth a listen but don’t look for a happy ending.wink wink

Interesting and engaging

Revisado: 11-08-19

While the overall concepts put forth in the book are standard heroes journey fantasy tropes the twist that the author puts on them are intriguing and the characters well developed. A definite purchase for those looking for a vigorous Sword fantasy just a step outside the norm

Dated but still great

Revisado: 09-29-19

This is how you write a star wars novel, its not perfect but it has the core elements that endure and endear, unlike the more recent galaxies edge which is self indulgent and lacking in epic heroism.

Disappointing

Revisado: 09-27-19

This was a disappointing politically correct entry into the Star Wars universe. While a good effort was made to provide Star Wars first Aerobicfemale minority characterWell some of the characters are interesting bass majority of the book is self-doubt and introspection that Boers even the greatest fan into tears

Nice but Lacking...

Revisado: 09-10-19

Nice,basic storyline. It is well put together but character development is modest and the plot lacks any real suspense. Worth a listen if free through the originals program or if you are into ‘girl power’ stories.

Lackluster and short

Revisado: 05-11-19

Using the standard Sherlock Holmes format Andy Weir writes a couple of short stories with a couple of twists but no real depth. The problem is exacerbated by the narrator who, in an effort to sound sinister, just ends up sounding flat, I am a fan of Mr Weir’s work but maybe he is just better at stories when he has time to develop them more fully. This one is only worth a credit if you’re just too curious to pass it up, like I was.

Very Basic Training

Revisado: 11-27-18

Taken from a commencement speech, the author makes rudimentary comparisons between seal life and real life. Unfortunately for his audience, the grade-school writing and amateur narration kill any inspiration like a sniper.
