Thank you Dr. Peterson. Thank you for speaking truth, for standing up straight with your shoulders back, for making the world a better place and helping others to do the same. Thank you.

Ok

Revisado: 08-06-17

Historical accuracy is questionable when one plays fast and loose and politicizes climate "science". Otherwise decent for a very broad overview.

Outstanding performance

Revisado: 06-05-16

Grover Gardner has got to be one of the best and he really showcases his talent when reading Faulkner or Twain. For anyone who hasn't read this book or is new to Faulkner's stream of consciousness writing, I would suggest maybe reading this book in print first. It's one of my favorite books, top 10, but it takes a little extra to keep up with the time shifts. I read this years ago and listened to it to enjoy again, I think someone listening especially someone new to his work may get a little tangled up. It's said that his writing is "difficult", in my humble opinion that's strong but you' can't expect to read it while distracted, I think you need to devote yourself to the pages. I think I remember reading that WF originally wanted to use italics or different color inks especially in the beginning with Benji's narrative. I think that would take a lot away but I digress. Great book, Faulkner really writing and at the top of his game, not one cranked out for money, wonderful work, beautiful prose, can't say enough. Hope this helps and more people are introduced to his work and enjoy it as much as I have.

A great start

Revisado: 04-28-16

I've read enough about Jefferson to have become intrigued enough to tackle these long volumes. Just through one but I don't yet see where I can agree with any of the complaints. I think Malone gives credit where it's do and doesn't seem to back away from criticism where warranted. I feel many times people have an opinion of someone based on pieces of information, not the entire picture, and unfortunately at many times misinformation and are unable to study a subject with an open mind. Prejudices are deeply rooted enough to cloud their judgment and impede an unbiased review. As far as the narrator, I enjoyed her tone and tenor, I don't think she ever "swallowed the ends of her sentences" as some have suggested, I think she's done a fine job. Now on to volume II.

Maybe another title

I understand to write a history of the ancient world in a volume this size would be nearly impossible, but there are some glaring gaps.

Hard listening

Revisado: 04-04-16

Always good to hear another's story of this illness, unfortunately this was nearly impossible to listen to. Narrator sounds like she's reading a Judy Blume book to a class of fifth graders, not someone's experience with mental illness. What a terrible disservice to Erin's experience.

Good book

Revisado: 02-25-16

Good starting point or refresher on the basics of Buddhism. Presentation by Dan Gallagher was very good.

Haven't heard storytelling like this since Thom Jones. It's great stuff, a truly original voice.
