Irreverent, human and funny!

Masterfully told, as always.

One of the Significant Novels of Mankind

Revisado: 03-16-23

I was going to write: One of the most significant novels of our time, but then again, it was published in 66 years ago in 1957.

As relevant today, as it was then, Atlas Shrugged is a refreshing answer to communism, socialism, collectivism or any other form of involuntary government that hampers the entrepreneurial spirit.

Expertly told by Scott Brick.

Am looking forward to listening to it again next year. And every year after that.

Amazing when applied ruthlessly!

Revisado: 03-21-21

This has been a powerful game changer for me.

Is it simple - Yes!
Is it self-evident - Evidently!
Its power lies in how it shows you how to simply make those changes.

When you ruthlessly apply these four rules, and consistently hold yourself accountable, then it is:
a) Tough, and
b) Highly effective

Once you apply those standards consistently to yourself, your life will necessarily change significantly.

Contracts
The section that describes how everything in life is contract-based made it very easy for me as a visual person to tear up old agreements and write new ones.

To the ones who are ready to make big changes in their life in a simple way: A massively powerful book.

I keep re-reading it to hold myself accountable.

Enjoy!

Breath of Fresh Air

Revisado: 08-28-20

After a series of somewhat shallow books developing mostly known characters and little in terms of overall story development, at last the author gave us a breath of fresh air!

A new world, fresh characters and a vibrant story come together in a refreshing new book.

All masterfully told and brought to life by Peter Joyce.

Good Story, but does not reach the Greatness of the Riftwar Saga

Revisado: 08-22-20

This is a good story, expanding on the stories of the Conclave of Shadows. But I keep hoping for the greatness of the Riftwar Saga to return. There is just not the same sense of complexity and adventure as there was in the beginning, and the characters lack depth and colour.
Still, a good listen.

Masterfully told by Peter Joyce! Always an amazing performance.

Another beautiful Feist Novel

Revisado: 04-19-20

I really enjoyed this addition to the Riftwar Saga. While not as monumental and epic as the initial three books, I love the characters, their wicked sense of humour, and the most exotic and beautifully drawn Palace of Intrigues that is the Royal Court of Kesh, full of ruses, betrayal, political maneuvering.

I love Peter Joyce’s narration, and how he gives each character their own unique personality, their own voice, and instils a sense of warmth and humour into the story.

I am really looking forward to listening to the second volume of this book.

Rough, Raw & Ready

Revisado: 10-15-18

This book gave me a glimpse into a life I had never experienced before. Beautifully drawn characters who enjoy their short-lived hedonistic pleasures.
Great for anyone wanting a spell-binding drug-fuelled Miami-style assault on the senses.

For a five-star rating, I would have liked a much deeper story-line.
Just downloaded book 2, though. Am looking forward to what else Miami has in store for us.

The pure, honest and undiluted Face of War

Revisado: 03-26-17

With the Old Breed has to rank as one of the all-time best war stories. A true and touching account of war, undiluted by false bravado or phony heroics, the story chronicles the author's wartime experience of simple duty, heroism, pain, destruction and ultimate survival in equal measures.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an honest view of war and its real face, much like Remarque's "All quiet on the Western Front".

I am looking forward to listening to it again in a couple of years.
