A Must-Read

Revisado: 01-12-24

This book is an essential and elegant take on the history of our country that we are never taught. If our educational system strives to teach our children the truth (about anything), then books like this must be required reading to help balance the lies and deceit that our history books sell to our children without a word of apology or even a hint that there is a different view that is valid.

I would recommend this book to anyone who has an open mind and can take the truth!

This book lays a beautiful and solid foundation for discussion at the middle and high school levels. Let your students read this book and engage in a discussion on how the information in this book can or can't be reconciled with the main-stream history books. Let's stop lying to our children.

Silly and Useless Information

Revisado: 01-12-24

I assume that the author knows that the information in this book is silly and useless, or better stated as the subtitle says in part "Absurd Hypothetical Questions"

Although some might say this book is entertaining, in a "Myth-busters" sort of way, it is primarily boring and uninteresting.

I wouldn't waste my time finishing this book.

Very Interesting Take on Science

Revisado: 01-12-24

This book starts out at a very basic level, but not so basic as to be boring or uninteresting. Many of the initial concepts should be taught to our children at an early age as this author has a magical way of explaining science and how it applies to everyone's lives. The author very adeptly draws you into the realm of scientific evidence and methods and then delves into how the evidence and methods support (or not) the science of our existence. I especially like the author's caring and understanding way of explaining science as opposed to religion and myths of common belief.

One take-away from this book is that there are scientists out there who are not judgmental but rather spend their time investigating our universe and explaining it to us non-scientists in a very understandable way.

I would recommend this book to anyone and would invite educators, especially those who specialize in elementary education, to adapt the early chapters of this book to a required curriculum for their students.

In-depth Biblical Reference

Revisado: 01-12-24

This book is a good review of the Bible as it pertains to the rapture, very detailed and lots of repetition as if the author believes that if he says something enough times, it must be true. On the other hand, I do not fault the author for his viewpoint and his explanations based on Bible passages as this is his deep belief and understanding. I also enjoyed the way the author explained (again using Bible references) why he believes the way he does.

I would recommend this book to anyone with an open mind, religious or not. It is always worth reading the opinion of others.

Not Really About FBI Profiling - don't be fooled!

Revisado: 06-21-22

I thought this book would be more about the infancy of FBI profiling but it was more lip-service than coverage. I also felt that the excessive details were included to pad the story so it would be longer than it needed to be.

Other than that, I did listen to the entire book.

Fantasy or not?

Revisado: 02-17-22

I can't buy into this account. Although the trip and the actual bear attack might have taken place, the details are fantastical and unbelievable, especially when under the stress of a bear attack. I commend the author for his prose, but can't buy into the details as related by him.

I would read a novel written by Mr Messenger, but not non-fiction.

Thank you Mr Messenger for an enjoyable "read" (Listen).

A So-So Book with Some Interesting Ideas

Revisado: 02-17-22

As a person who truly believes as the author does that we can all benefit by and from understanding and performing simple math in our minds, I found this book to be interesting. Anyone who wants to learn how to do math in their head needs to get the print version and practice, practice, practice.

I believe that the author has a great thing going, and is targeting the general population, but I also believe that a person needs a simple and basic understanding of numbers before this book is of much value.

EDIT -- as time goes on, I find myself using the author's left to right approach with much success!

A Must-Read for all Attorneys

Revisado: 02-17-22

Very interesting and well told story of the legal system as it existed in Lincoln's time. Any attorney who thinks they know how the legal system works today needs to understand where it came from and how it evolved. This book tells that story.

Very Boring

Revisado: 12-16-21

Poorly written and poorly narrated. Too much unnecessary detail that appeared to on be included to fill pages. Waste of time.
