Why she yelling so loud??

Revisado: 05-31-24

The parts where people are shouting it’s way too loud and annoying. I prefer the less performative audio books but had started this one for free elsewhere so continued on. I watched the series first so wanted to fill in the gaps. Some of the obvs Tolkien riffs were a bit too much. I get giving a nod to the original master but like thinly veiled recreations of Tolkien characters and situations weren’t done very deftly. Some of the scenes and characters are near exact repros of stuff from LOTR trilogy books.
Much of the book is quite repetitive too, like how many dream scenes with the bad man do you need? Theres like 7 … just so so. Also having one of the main characters be completely antagonistic gets annoying.

Mind blowing classic of sci fi

Revisado: 03-03-24

This is one of the masters of sci fi !!the story is mind blowing!!! I got sick of the weird accents they used for the fremen tho. It just was kind of ridiculous of out of place. Annoying.

Forestry not Forests

Revisado: 12-27-23

A FORESTRY MANAGERS viewpoint. Good info but it’s hard to hear when it’s always cloaked in forest “management”
Like how can we keep over harvesting wood instead of reusing wood… tree farms are not forests. And forests can’t be recreated or “regrown” they are their own entities, beings within themselves. Would benefit from a more completely ecological viewpoint.

Immaculately crafted tale of a young woman caught in the throes of a sexually abusive relationship. So nuanced and so REAL!! Must read and must book club

Amazing and much needed-bad performance

Revisado: 10-30-23

This book is what we all knew anyway. Science based and amazing. EXCEPT I seriously can’t believe he read parts using the accents of the people they are quoting. He did it in French and British accents. It’s pretty SMH embarrassing. Also much of the heteronormative language around parenting is extremely outdated and inappropriate.

Revisado: 10-30-23

A timeless classic that spurred the entire fantasy genre. Great performance not too overdone like too many of these audios.

How to be a narcissist???

Revisado: 02-03-23

Audible should filter shizz like this. Why is this on here? Some psycho narcissist “wrote” (prob AI) a book to feed his narcissistic self and to stoke others’ narcissistic urges. Wtffff

The privileged white guys guide to “manifesting” success 🙄

Revisado: 01-27-23

Right so this guys big eye opening moment was being cheated on at 19 and feeling suicidal (probably the one month of his life he felt that way ever) then got in a car wreck and survived. Those were probably the 2 most (individually) traumatic experiences he ever had to deal with. No discussion whatsoever of trauma or ACES scores. He implies that habits alone are what drives everyone’s behavior. Like does he understand the limbic system??? 😂 does he understand trauma or major depressive disorder? Does he understand chronic trauma? Does he know abt inter generational trauma ? Does he understand being on meds just to not want to Jill yourself every month ?? JFC. Why are white rich guys famous for this type of bs ?? Who is this dick anyway ?? I could write a better more REAL book.

Um… good info but the premise is totally racist

Revisado: 08-26-22

It took awhile but the thinly veiled racist premise is that all civilization descended from the northern master race, while trying to “discredit” the Nazis who popularized these ideas. Most cultures and civilizations had the similar conditions of astronomy poetry and architecture at the same time. It’s interesting but most indigenous cultures worldwide had similarities at the same periods and it wasn’t because it was descended all from the north. Why are there homogeneous god characters that are global? It isn’t because Vikings invented it all. Collective consciousness accounts for a lot of it. Overall hard to listen as it is arguing for a master Aryan race.
