Goosebumps!

Revisado: 06-25-23

I loved every second of this book. The discoveries inside that cave bring so much insight into our origins, but the emphasis in this book is the passion. I could feel the excitement and adventure that they were experiencing. I love the opportunities that were offered to young scientists and the open access to data.

Unlistenable

Revisado: 04-14-19

I could not listen to more than 5 minutes. The narration is a digital voice like you get when your car reads a text to you. The words sound fine, but the timing is awkward and too distracting for me. I returned it. I love Audible’s return policy!

Important and inspiring

Revisado: 06-24-16

This book delivers history, law, and the human faces of the most important Supreme Court ruling in my adulthood. The heartbreak that lead to this lawsuit shows the depths of love. I had goosebumps during the final chapters.

Paradigm changing

Revisado: 11-03-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have recommended this book to at least 10 people in the last few weeks. The section on the historical treatment of people with autism was difficult and could be hard for a parent to hear, but the rest of the book provides insight into the gifts of the autistic mind. This book changed the way I view the role of neuro-diversity in our society.

Good listen

Revisado: 08-21-14

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I have read a great deal on this era, and expected this book to bring me a perspective of the women involved, but I felt that the focus was more on the project, and not on the women. Overall, I would say that this is worth a listen, and definitely good if you are just entering this area of history.

Good but not great

Revisado: 08-21-14

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I was expecting a book that I could not wait to listen to each time I got in my car, but I was a bit disappointed. I feel that the book lacked a personal perspective and felt too broad. Moments within it had a personal touch, but overall, it was faceless.

Great info, but horrible narration

Revisado: 09-06-13

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

As always, Mary Roach did her research and provided some very interesting information, but it wasn't her best work. It did not have the humor and bite that are characteristic of her books.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

The narrator gave each scientist interviewed a different accent, and it was distracting at best. I hated the narration so much that I would never recommend the audiobook. Get it in print, or as an ebook, instead.

Sociopaths beware.

Revisado: 06-30-11

This book was informative and funny. Ronson details the sociopath test, and then takes you on a journey as he tests people of notoriety. His journey points out the difficulty and pitfalls of using the test, but leaves you with a new sense of power. More of an entertaining learning experience, than an acedemic study of the topic.
