Not what I expected

Revisado: 08-09-18

I have read a few works by this author and have enjoyed them. This one however seemed like a personal endulgedment that I quickly became bored with. I slogged my way to the end and there were some interesting sections but over all I was disappointed.

Dawkins at his best

Revisado: 01-23-15

a really good walk through of the very compelling evidence for evolution. I have listened to it several times and enjoyed each pass.

Interesting but a little whiny

Would you try another book from Lee Smolin and/or Walter Dixon?

I will try another book by Lee Smolin but I wasn't very impressed with this one

Any additional comments?

Although the point of this book (We should spend more time and money on other physics ideas) is well taken I don't think it should have taken 15 hours to make it. I expected more out of this then I got from it.

Irreverent treatise of logical fallacies

What did you love best about You Are Now Less Dumb?

David McRaney has a fun and engaging writing style that will keep a smile on your face while you question your own world view. Don Hagen has a pleasant voice and a conversational style that wont wear you out during long listening sessions. Great stories coupled interesting descriptions of experiments that drive home the point the author is making. A very enjoyable listen.

Goofy world that made me roll my eyes

Revisado: 04-04-13

Would you try another book from Neal Stephenson and/or Jonathan Davis?

Although this was a mildly entertaining story the author got bogged down in plot details that were silly in the first place and in several spots I just kept thinking "come on, enough already" So, no, I don't think I will be picking up another Stephenson/Jonathan book.

If you’ve listened to books by Neal Stephenson before, how does this one compare?

Have not

Which scene was your favorite?

Some of the battle scenes were good and the attack on the island was the best of them.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Incredulity

Any additional comments?

Listened to this in the car on a road trip with my wife and she asked several times to change to something else because of the world design

A likeable hero

Revisado: 04-04-13

Where does Live Free or Die rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would put this book somewhere in the top 75 percentile for entertainment purposes. It hooked you in pretty fast and keeps up the interest till the end

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

It was obviously setup to be a series from the very beginning and left off in a satisfying spot. This book stands on its own but I look forward to the next chapter in the story.

What about Mark Boyett’s performance did you like?

Great reader, the story had a theatrical feel and Mr. Boyett brought all the characters to life.

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

The first half hour was a great hook and I loved the first contact scenario..

Any additional comments?

Well worth a credit

Another good book by Dawkins

Revisado: 01-12-12

If you could sum up The Magic of Reality in three words, what would they be?

Although this is well troden teritory and there are many other good books that cover this ground Richard Dawkins is always worth listening to.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Richard Dawkins and Lalla Ward ?

Yes, I have them all

Great place to start

Revisado: 06-04-10

I found this book to be a great starting place for anyone who is interested in both getting up to date with current understandings and for those of use who have strugled with more specific scientific explinations. This book provides a great foundation for almost any branch of science interest.
