Lots of Neanderthals and Humans, Dogs Not So Much

Revisado: 07-23-24

This is a good book. It's full of facts on Neanderthals, Early Modern Humans, predators and prey and invasive species. I picked up this book hoping for more info on the domestication of dogs and early dog/human interaction. Shipman brings the dogs into the narrative in the last ~25% of the book. She has interesting and well reasoned and researched hypothesizes but unprovable at this point in time. Shipman freely admits this and is hopeful that evidence will be unearthed in the future,

All in all, a good read, just not enough info on early dogs

Long but good

Revisado: 03-09-24

Very educational, very detailed, very long. Adam Smith presents a cogent argument against debt and living beyond ones mean either has a country or by an individual. I would suggest an abridged version.

Good overview of brain evolution. Stetka's jokes fall a bit flat. I doubt if some of the statements will stand the test of time.

Short, nice setup to expanding Five Point World

Revisado: 05-23-23

A nice Science Fiction police procedural. More of a novella than a novel but I'll take what I can get from Correia. The narrator has become the voice that my mind calls up for DCI Cade and a number of other Correia characters. Bravo on the narration.

Now Audible sucks for forcing reviews before leaving stars. ONE F'ing STAR AUDIBLE!

A Good Overview of a Good Man

Revisado: 05-12-23

This book is a nice overview of Edwards as a man of his times. Well worth the time for listening.

And on audible procedures: I think it really sucks that I can’t just rate by stars, after listening, and that I must write something. Poor way of doing business…

A Fun Ride with the Gang...

Revisado: 03-10-23

Abbey's descriptions of the landscape of the west is always beautiful even when he is being snarky. This novel brings us up to date on the gang and moves the story forward. It's a fun read but it's not nearly as much fun as the Monkey Wrench Gang.

Great book for an overview to the Inklings. Lots of deep digging into primary sources by the author. A must read for a Lewis or Tolkien lover.

Save your credit

Revisado: 10-29-22

Not a biography of Early or a treatise on the Lost Cause. There are a couple of paragraphs about the 1864 Valley Campaign and then Early is suddenly in Mexico at the end of the war. It seems the Charles River Editors skimmed the Time Life Civil War Series and wrote a C level book report. Not worth the time to listen.

I need more Cade

Revisado: 02-23-22

Good Sci-fi with crime noir trappings. We need a novel length outing. The readers is an old friend from the other Correia worlds so what's not to love.

Title is misleading...

Revisado: 02-21-21

A more accurate title might be Buddhism in Plainish English... Nice calming narration though... Glad the title was included in Plus
