Masterful Presentation About Lewis!
Revisado: 11-17-23
I knew the narration by Sørina Higgins would be excellent, as I've heard her speak in-person several times. She does not disappoint in this department, nor in the realm of her content ("story"). In six lectures of 28 minutes or less, she manages to cover all the main points about Lewis's life and give concise (and meaningful) information about his works.
The first two lectures (don't be turned off by the word "lecture," as Sørina has a conversational tone, making it seem like she is talking to just you) provides the key details about Lewis's life and shines the spotlight on Narnia (as this is the most familiar work by Lewis). The remaining four talks primarily addresses his other writings as follows: 1. Christian-themed, 2. Theological Fiction, 3. The Ransom Cycle, and 4. Literary Criticism. Bits of biographical elements are also provided in each of these sections.
Only two very minor criticisms: If it could be longer, then I wish she would cover more of Lewis's shorter works (essays) and having a PDF of the various authors and works she mentioned would have also been nice.

Why we think it’s a great listen: You thought he was a stodgy scientist with funny hair, but Isaacson and Hermann reveal an eloquent, intense, and selfless human being who not only shaped science with his theories, but politics and world events in the 20th century as well. Based on the newly released personal letters of Albert Einstein, Walter Isaacson explores how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerk became the mind reader of the creator of the cosmos.

Ty Cobb is baseball royalty, maybe even the greatest player who ever lived. His lifetime batting average is still the highest of all time, and when he retired in 1928, after twenty-one years with the Detroit Tigers and two with the Philadelphia Athletics, he held more than ninety records. But the numbers don't tell half of Cobb's tale. The Georgia Peach was by far the most thrilling player of the era: "Ty Cobb could cause more excitement with a base on balls than Babe Ruth could with a grand slam," one columnist wrote.

Enjoyable and Insightful
Revisado: 04-24-18
I hadn't followed baseball since I was a kid in the seventies. But I decided to give this book to listen because I always heard about Ty Cobb but didn't know much about him. This audiobook was very insightful and enjoyable.

Imagine answering your cell phone one day to a male voice that gives you three minutes to confess your sin. If you don't, the madman, Slater, will blow your car to smithereens. You barely manage to exit heavy traffic and ditch the car when, precisely three minutes later, your car blows sky high. The media and police descend on the scene; your world has just changed forever.

Magnificent Story
Revisado: 01-23-07
I noticed this story when it was the featured sale audio here. I had never read/listened to anything by Dekker before. But, when I learned this story had been made into a movie I got it that day and spent every possible moment listening to it. I thought the story was magnificent and well crafted. I'm pretty good at figuring things out, but I couldn't figure out who the "bad guy" was until just before it was revealed.
At first I thought this was just another good adventurous story that had some Christian characters in it. But, then by the end of it I felt Dekker had created an even more remarkable story about the sinful nature of all humans that made perfect sense without being preachy.
