Intriguing if it's not fiction

Revisado: 05-16-14

Would you consider the audio edition of Behold a Pale Horse to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print edition, but it would be better than the audible edition, as the author/reader's voice is painful to listen to.

Who was your favorite character and why?

n/a

Would you listen to another book narrated by William Cooper?

No.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Although I'd read some of this information before, I found the whole content fascinating and well put together.

Any additional comments?

This writer has so much information on these matters - secret societies, One World Order and alien encounters - that I wonder why anyone else needs to research these topics. Everything anyone would want to know about our encounters with ETs is here in this book. If his story is true, ETs must be everywhere on Planet Earth by now! Do you really know your neighbour that well?

Overview of early Christian writings and figures

Revisado: 04-18-12

What made the experience of listening to Revelations the most enjoyable?

My interest in the Bible, its writers and interpreters and the author's coverage of the enigmatic Book of Revelation. Also the brief coverage of each of the ancient writings discovered at Nag Hammadi and why the early Church fathers decided to reject them.

What other book might you compare Revelations to and why?

Elaine Pagels' other books, e.g. The Gnostic Gospels and Beyond Belief. However, I think Revelations focuses more on John's writing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, accompanied by the writer's interpretations - a little like a Bible study or a Church sermon. In Revelations, Pagels also spends a good deal of time on early Christian personalities and powerbrokers.

Did Lorna Raver do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

The voice was a little hard to take at first, but I got used to it as the book progressed. Lorna Raver speaks very distinctly and with appropriate intonation and animation. Bit croaky for my liking.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme reactions!

Any additional comments?

The book provides a good, brief coverage of developments in the early Christian Church, and the powerful characters who influenced the composition (canon) of the Bible we read today.

A good listen, thorough but a little repetitive.

Revisado: 01-19-11

At times I thought I'd lost my place and was rehearing material I'd already listened to, but I don't think that was the case. Often the reiteration was helpful, as there were many unfamiliar (to me) terms and acronyms. The author doesn't give acronyms without their meaning, but I find it easy to forget what acronyms stand for. Despite the repetition, usually to reemphasise or add another perspective, I found the book extremely informative, with some sections more interesting than others. It's almost a handbook of sinister developments in the world today and particularly in the USA.

An Aussie Perspective

Revisado: 12-21-05

I enjoy Bill Bryson's sense of humour. This book is informative and thoroughly entertaining. Recommended listening for anyone planning a trip to Australia or just curious about Australia and Aussies.
