Amazing Narration

Revisado: 08-23-24

The voice actor nailed it! Animorphs was my favorite book series as a kid, and it's even better as an adult. I was hesitant to switch to the audiobook format, but I am glad I did!

Good, but a bit nihilistic

Revisado: 12-23-22

The story can be very confusing at times, but has a lot of interesting elements. I don't particularly like the elements that are dark just for the sake of being dark. That said, again, the story has a lot of interesting ideas.

Epstein Brings It Again

Revisado: 06-29-22

As someone with a career in science, I greatly appreciate this work. Epstein has helped me to think of technology in terms of cost-benefit analysis, and to consider all aspects of any given issue. In my experience, most scientists do not think objectively about these issues. We need more practical philosophers to teach people how to apply Philosophy, including logic and epistemology, to the real world.

Wasted Opportunity

Revisado: 11-19-21

Amature writing. Lacks depth and plot. Too far into SJW weeds. Basically the book started off exciting, and the idea of a young and sexy Bruce Wayne had a lot of appeal, especially after the incredible Wonder Woman book in this series. But this particular book just didn't have anything special going for it. It was way too bland and predictable.

One part that really ruined it for me was Bruce Wayne being told that the police didn't shoot him just because he is white... Yet data from black economists show that there is no racial bias in police shootings at the statistical level. Also, why is a police officer drinking tea given to her by a stranger?

But okay, this is Gotham, the city of corruption, greed, apathy and malice. Even then, there was a lack of actual story. It was easy to see everything coming from 20 miles away.

Wonder Woman was objectively well-written even if you disagree with the author's social vision. Batman ... it just didn't have any depth to it at all.

I'm not much of a Wonder Woman kind of guy...

I'm not much of a Wonder Woman kind of guy, but this author knows how to write! Phenomenal story, and amazing execution!

Yes

I highly recommend this book to authors. I've been struggling with writer's block and the advice that Rand gives is very helpful in that regard. She talks about writing purposefully and explains the psychology of writing.

If you want to learn how to write, whether you are a beginner or an expert, I highly recommend this video.

Dated, but good.

There are serious flaws in Darwin’s theory, including in the modern version. He makes a huge leap in logic, claiming that Natural Selection can explain the whole of what we see on Earth. But the onus is on him and his followers to prove such a claim, not on opponents to disprove it. To this day, there are many biologists who debate the validity of this claim.

That said, the way Darwin presents his argument is refreshing. He is usually tentative in his claims, and he urges readers to investigate all sides of this issue. Beyond that, he is very interesting to read as a naturalist. I especially liked his thoughts on migration and on how living things colonize new regions.

This book is an excellent read for anyone.

I was hoping for something better.

Revisado: 06-14-20

Lacked objectivity. Needs a better translation and commentary. Jarring transitions between translation and opinion. I am all for an author giving their view and analysis, but from what I've read the translation used was not faithful to the words of the original text. Give the reader a clear objective translation of the text available, and after each passage then give commentary, instead of in the middle of a sentence. This way I can separate the text from the author's analysis and opinion and decide with my own reason what follows and what does not.

Very Well Written

Revisado: 05-06-18

I am not going to give away the plot or the premise, but this story was amazing! THIS is why we read science fiction. (And BTW, for more sensitive readers, there was a little bit of language, but you could give this book to your pastor and feel comfortable. I am amazed at the talent of this author!)

I have been writing fiction for a bit now, and I can recognize someone who really knows the craft when I see it. Not only did I love this story as a reader, but as an author, I learned a lot my example. The key to a good story is conflict, and this author has conflict in every sentence. Often this conflict is 3, 4, or even 5 way conflict. And the story was written seamlessly!

If you want to read a real masterpiece, this story is it.

Amazing!

Revisado: 02-09-18

Not much to say. The author wrote intricate and interesting stories with pro skills, and the narrator was the perfect man for the job! If you like good science fiction, by the standards of any time period, I recommend you give this book a go!
