It answers all of life’s questions

It is to bad that we are still fighting a belief system you can trace back to ancient Egyptians. The last two hundred years of human intellectual advancement are denied by over half of humanity.

Entirety Different

This book appeared in my Audible Library. I do not remember purchasing it. The story that unfolds in many voices as the book is recited make the listening experience fascinating.

Darker and colder than a Nordic night

Jo Nesbo has written some great books. The Kingdom is. .., I would have enjoyed many other endings. Perhaps that was what Jo Nesbo intended. That we reach come up with an ending that satisfies our own imaginations.

We lost in Afghanistan before we started,

Revisado: 09-10-21

Fighting a war in a country whose culture, traditions, history, religions and multiple languages we do not understand was a foolhardy mistake. Osama bin Laden accomplished his wildest dreams. Osama manage to destroy the democracy of the United States and make the United States on of the least trusted countries in the world. Our politicians and military leaders became accustomed to lying to the citizens of the United States and our former friends and allies around the world.

Everyone in the world should all thank President Biden for withdrawing the United States from Afghanistan. Going into Afghanistan was a mistake. Staying Afghanistan under Bush, Obama and Trump was a mistake. It took 20 tears and thousands of lives and trillion of wasted dollars for us to lean from our mistake. Leaving Afghanistan was inevitable.

Not My Cup of Tea

Revisado: 02-23-13

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

This book is not an historical novel. It is absolute fiction. As fiction it is perhaps excellent. As history it is absolute b....

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

Nope, never read or listened to another Bernard Cornwell book.

What does Jack Hawkins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I would seek more books read by Jack Hawkins, his presentation is excellent.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

OK, I would probably go see the movie as an adventure/ action film. As an accurate portrayal of history it would be a waste of time.

Any additional comments?

Well read, well written, total time waster.

Who reads is as important as who writes

This is a great book by a great writer. But...

Christopher Hitchens should not have been the reader. At times he reads as if he is bored with the material. The material in this book is never boring; but perhaps for the author it became old and he lost the ability to relay the true impact of his well crafted words. I would love to hear this book read correctly.

Beware, be very beware

Revisado: 07-12-09

The one thing to take away from this book is to be very aware that articulate politicians are not the best thinkers or leaders.

For Buchanan to accuse Churchill of being a raceist is interesting. Perhaps Buchanan should look at his own words, and his website.

Garp would hate this book. Dog poop Lacrosse is the only "John Irving" element in the book. I did listen to the entire book; it is well read.
