Amazing Conclusion

Revisado: 01-10-24

This trilogy was fantastic, and the final of the three, Morning Star, is, in my opinion, the very best. Amazing and satisfying conclusion. Highly recommended!

Bloody Great

Revisado: 06-06-21

I have listened to this audiobook three times now over the years. Richard Dawkins is always a pleasure to read or listen to. Many people criticize Dawkins for being philosophically untrained. He is a scientist! His knowledge regarding how the biological world is tremendous. Hence he approaches the question of God as a scientist would. There are many quotable gems in this book. There is a reason that this is one of, if not THE greatest selling atheist book ever published. It's bloody great. He and his wife narrate it perfectly.

Classic Horror with Excellent Narration

Revisado: 09-27-19

I read this book 30 or more years ago and decided it was worth a revisit. It certainly was! I am glad I chose to do so with the audiobook version. The narrator does an amazing job of the characters. The book is creepier than I remembered, especially with this superb performance. Now I want to revisit all of King's classic horror novels. Highly recommended.

Brilliant Horror Fun

Revisado: 09-21-19

I am not usually a big fan of gore horror. However, maybe The Troop changes that for me. Great story, characters, and descriptive language. Several parts in the book made me uncomfortable in a compelling, can't-look-away fashion. Very visceral scenes were described ao well that I could see the gore and feel the unease, fear, hopelessness, and disgust. Perfect narrator for the book. I hope to hear his voice again. It works so well with horror. All in all, The Troop was a hell of a good time from beginning to end. Does that make me a sicko? I don't think so. If you at least enjoy some of your horror a bit on the slimey and gooey side, try The Troop! It was one of the best horror listens for me in awhile, and I love horror.

Excellent

Revisado: 01-18-18

The mystics presented in this audiobook collectively paint an inspiring picture of Christ his saints. The various mystics herein presented are different in many ways, demonstrating that the Christian mystic does not suffer absolute dissolution of personality while attaining to divine union. These short talks deserve a wide listening audience.

Audiobook isTough

It's a decent, well argued audiobook. However, I wish I had purchased the book instead.

Very Helpful

Revisado: 03-28-17

As one who struggles with faith, doubt, hope, occasional nihilism, and many of the psychological, spiritual, and mental issues addressed in this book, I can certainly recommend this book. This is a balanced book, drawing upon both Christian wisdom and medical and scientific knowledge in order to address the malady of depression. It offers valuable insights into the causes and contributing factors of depression, and gives the sufferer much in the way of sound advice and encouragement for dealing with it. Catholics who suffer depression will get the most out of this book, but much it contains can be applied, I think, to people on other paths.

Better Than Expected

Revisado: 11-27-16

I found much of this valuable. As someone who has long wrestled with faith and doubt, I found the personal stories of non-believing clergy to give me much to relate to. The pain and trauma of drastically changing worldviews is addressed, as well as the freedom and jubilation. The words of the clergy members were worth the credit of the book, although I probably could have lived without Dennett's sometimes smug and patronizing tone (but I get that from most of his works).
