Beautifully detailed

Revisado: 08-27-20

Nothing to hate. Very thorough on the discussions and very simply related everything to everything else.

very enjoyable but...

Revisado: 12-09-18

The story was great but the music at the beginning and end of each chapter was to busy and noisy.

Too Long but the Premise was Interesting

Revisado: 01-19-18

As the title says, This book was too long. Many of the details could have been cut and nothing would have been taken out of the story. Things get repeated and then repeated again and again to make sure you know it is important, how evil someone is, etc. I found my mind wandering (especially when it came to the rich woman) at too many times for me. That said the premise was interesting and would make for an interesting series just cut the length down. There also seemed to be a few inconsistency that were poorly explained away or not at all even when Simmons tried. That said this was my first and I will be willing to try another one.

Wonderfully Perspective

Revisado: 01-01-18

I loved this perspective of this story. It tells the story of what some of the footsoldiers in the Empire thought of their jobs, their superior, and the rebels. Great characters and fairly interesting story. I do wish there had been more about the soldiers and less the rebels but great story. There needs to be more stories like this.

Amazing Adventure into Greece

Revisado: 01-01-18

This professor is different and wants you to think about the facts and what the books say. He hits the most significant events and what lead up to the them. The sections on Greek Laws was very in-depth and will explained. Overall, it was a great course.

A Chance to See Your Life's Work

Revisado: 12-31-17

This may be one of the most interesting of Robert Heinlein many interesting books. How does space travel affect time for different people, is there a special connection between twins, and many other fun topics. It does get a little slow at some points but overall a very enjoyable read or listen.

What is really Real?

Revisado: 12-02-17

This isn't the most thought provoking Heinlein book but the concept of interdemensional traveling is fun. It begs the question of what is real? is everything real and fleshed out or just a figment of our collective imagination. Beautifully told if a little wordy at times. Some parts do last longer than enjoyable but over a solid place in the Heinlein canon especially with some of his other stories and how they connect.
My only real gripe was the number of narrators. It was hard to follow who was talking when they each added their own flair to each character and made it hard to connect then at times.

A Game of Manipulation

Revisado: 12-01-17

A wonderfully told story with fascinating characters. We is much like 1984 but with a hive mind aspect in the population. Everyone is trying to manipulate the main character and use his unique knowledge to undo the other's plans.
I do wish the world outside the wall was explored more but it was an interesting universe to explore.

Why is he doing this?

Revisado: 12-01-17

The main character's purpose in the story is to be an egotistical, abusive, self destructive, pain in the a**, and forgettable character. He is a necromancer... and doesn't use it in any interesting way in the whole story while proclaiming how bada** he is.
You know who would interesting to hear about? The grandma. She was interesting and not a narcissist.
the story could have easily been 2-3 hours long. There was also one to many "Oh, that's convenient" moments for it to even be a good detective like story.
