Good performance, bad politics and philosophy

Revisado: 07-25-24

The author obviously spent time researching the science, but takes a very myopic view of political and spiritual philosophy.

The only acceptable philosophy presented in the book is highly steeped in post-modernism, and absurdist existentialism. Investing additional time understanding Jung or even Dostoyevsky and reflecting that in the book would have really rounded out the spectrum of beliefs that ought to exist.

Review

Really good. Good narrator, solid story, cliffhanger ending. Can’t say enough good things. Over and out. Check it out.

Pick an accent

Revisado: 10-08-20

It was very difficult to concentrate on what was being read because the narrator kept changing accents. I’ve found the audible originals of Poe’s work are better read and wish there were more free ones. I can see why this one is free

The narrator matches the author!

Revisado: 12-10-19

This was an amazing experience to listen to! The background sounds make it ominous and the rolling of the bell especially. I loved all of the characters Tom Baker narrated. Fantastic job! This is my first time getting through the whole book and Tom Baker definitely helped in that department. I haven’t listened to other versions but I don’t think I’ll have to because this was marvelous. Will for sure read annually!

Not super romantic

Revisado: 11-27-19

First off, I love historical fiction books and how raw this story is. Josi Kiplack is great at putting together supposed relationships and filling in the blanks. The writing is great but the story itself is what made the rating overall lower. I was envisioning something more captivating when I struggled to get through the book. I’m sure Fanny and Wllliam’s relationship was great but Fanny was mostly annoying me the whole book, which definitely showed how much she matured over the years. I’d probably only read this the one time. The performance was awesome and kept me reading on. I love Cassandra’s work!

Amy is hilarious

Revisado: 09-15-18

If you don’t get anything else from this book, a good laugh is what you’ll leave with. There were some really REAL mom moments and thoughts about this generation, society, anxieties most people face, etc. I’m totally recommending this to my bookclub! I hope I can find a good book to follow after this but this is tough to follow! Get it on audible too so you can hear her voice!

Where is the excitement?

Revisado: 09-15-16

I have read the other Robert Langdon books and toward the end they usually start getting exciting and have you on the edge of your seat but this book did not have the same type of thrill. Everything had already happened so the end seemed like it abruptly ended and was promptly thrown together leaving the reader's high behind.
