Poor history decent propaganda

Revisado: 02-24-25

While an admirable statesman, nonfactual pseudohistory has no place in nonfiction. Quintessential post-truth political dribble in the vein of Trumpism and Neonaziism. hard pass.

Please re-record with a different narrator.

Revisado: 04-28-23

Goes to show how much a bad narrator can really ruin a good 40K novel. Really just....bad. The accents, the "different voices" which are impossible to distinguish. Honestly, would have been wayyyyy better if there were 0 attempts at accents or voices.

The final original dune

Revisado: 11-24-20

Look, you either loved, hated or were ambivalent to Frank Herbert's conclusion to Dune. You may feel the same about Brian Herbert and Anderson's continuation. All of those points-of-view are subjective and thus equally valid. However, I for one feel it's incontrovertible that Frank Herbert wrote *the* geopolitical sci-fi novel grounded within his first trilogy. From there? He engaged in a work of world building unseen since the Foundation series and those same glide paths were seemingly followed by Andrrson/Herbert. Will they ever replace the original trilogy? No. But neither will Episodes 1-3 of Star Wars. The fact is, the ground work of an insightful series was laid in 3 of the best works of science fiction ever assembled; and, even with Frank's death, we are still blessed by the world building upon which Brian and Anderson continue to attempt to keep alive.

Howard Zinn is an American treasure

Revisado: 06-25-20

I can say, without qualification, that this book should be taught in every HS throughout the US. I'd call it one of the definitive American Histories.

Sickening. Amazing.

Revisado: 11-07-19

Matt Taibbi does an amazing job telling a horrifying truth about American. This book envoked anger enough in me as a former JP Morgan employee to lessen my already negative opinion of the company and of our system which has become a corporate kleptocracy.

Folksy hokum

Revisado: 09-12-19

Suze Orman goes around peddling a few common sense tips with some wildly unsupported or tested assertions and codified it a financial self help book.

The best book I've read this year.

Revisado: 03-10-19

Ive spent 3 years at a major international bank as a manager and am currently a Government employee. When I tell you this book is as well researched as it is entertaining, I hope you'll believe me.

Neil Gaiman

Revisado: 07-10-18

The fact that this was read by the author makes it all the more worthwhile to purchase. It added a depth that I don't even recall in the book and the addition of the short story at the end was a pleasant surprise.

Loved it

Revisado: 05-07-18

The definitive Sherlock Holmes expertly read by Stephen Fry. Hours of entertainment and insight into the author of, and the fictional antagonist whom is, Sherlock Holmes.

Amazing Short Story

Revisado: 01-23-18

I wish it was longer, but a great Douglas Adams story none the less. The TV series should have just used this book as it's first season.
