only cared for like 2 of the side characters. main characters were okay. the premise is a bit overplayed sometimes but such is life

greatly disagree with the solutions

Revisado: 04-14-24

but the criticisms, at some Pointe, were very well articulated. unfortunately, it is far easier to criticize than it is to offer a sound solution. perhaps I am more critical because of the wisdom reading this nearly half a century later. but a large amount of hslis thoughts and solutions are nonsense demonstrated in the failures of those who have attempted to implement those solutions.

needed in all modern Bible studies

Revisado: 11-04-23

I needed this greatly over the last year as my studies from non secular and Jewish scholars have lead me to l have questions regarding the teachings I have received during my conversion. truly, this father of the church is still a genius of out time

Overall an above average book

Revisado: 07-25-23

Gripping, wonderfully writing, and not too hawty. The author has a clear love of Mexican history and it brings the world to life. Contrasting the supernatural of the plot with the grounded, real depiciton of the world after the Mexican Revolution (and all the social commentary therein) serves the book very well. The voice actors are good. The story was rather mundane in the sense that it was predictable once it got going. There was only one real twist around the middle to 3/4 of the way through. But the consequences of that twist were predictable.

As for the ending, I greatly disliked the ending as I felt that the male love interest threw away too much of who they are in pursuit of "love." Which, I cannot say I would call it love the way that he is approaching the inner conflict within himself about the choices that he is making. Contemporary readers will mostly say that it was love that triumphed in the end. But I read it more as giving into lust at the end and going on a road to neglect the duty that he had to his people, family, and community.

I really wanted to dislike this book

Revisado: 07-22-23

coming from 2023, who views Obama as a complete failure in enacting change and probably the largest reason for conservatives winning in America right now due to his failings.... I must admit that this was fantastic, humanizing, personable, and truly the mark of someone who loves his country. someone who leads first from seeing the other side (as much as I hate how he did that too well) and can see the humanity in others.

definitely a required reading

Revisado: 07-15-23

this should be a required reading as you could fill an entire year worth of educational exercises on how peddling hypocrisy and revisionist history are mainstays of the current republican party. By engaging in the same criticisms he supposedly levels against his opponents, this book can be summed up summarily as "intelligentsia is everything that has resulted in everything bad in all moments in history"

yet, he carves out special reverence for Maynard Keynes, freidman, and others that he would never bother to criticize. ideas promoted by both bushes, Peterson, and trump would fall squarely within his framework yet he would never admit so and says that the intelligentsia of the contemporary right are just restoring some decency to tithe overabundance of liberal intelligentsia.

yet the intelligentsia in both sides, whom i would place Sowell in with that same category since he arbitrarily places people in without ever clearly defining what is the criteria for being included in that category, peddle in the same nonsense of moral aptitudes and appealing to whatever version of justice they submit themselves to while, in his own words, filtering out all information to the contrary.

like I said, this should be a required reading for all those interested in how someone could be so blind to their own hypocrisy and how far they are willing to distort and twist reality and cherry pick historical fact to fit their narrative.

gentle parenting with a Christian outlook

Revisado: 06-25-23

the wife and I listened to this together and she would best describe it as gentle parenting. our main complaint would be replacing the phrase "age appropriate" with "maturity level"

a lot of the Christian aspect is sprinkled throughout but it is more heavily back-loaded. and the author draws heavily from two sources. sister magdelane, and another modern day secular child researcher ( blanking on the name but she is pretty much the premier childhood researcher for the gentle parenting style )

predicted the reaction to covid

Revisado: 06-12-23

I hate to say it but the last chapter was a perfect prediction and rundown od the response to covid and the furthering marriage of neo-cons and neo-libs
