Claire Danes knocks this one out of the park!

Revisado: 09-25-19

The narrator was an excellent choice for this novel. Claire Danes drew the emotion out of every sentence and makes you feel as if the handmaid herself is reading the story to you. Now...on to the Testament

Nautical terms are hard to follow

Revisado: 07-10-19

While I am pleased with the performance of this story, the story itself is difficult to follow. If you'd like to skip the several chapters describing different whales, or the exceedingly detailed descriptions of them, an abridged version should be seriously considered. I did struggle to finish it but I am glad that I did. Again, the performance is superb.

A heavy read but well worth it.

Revisado: 12-02-18

If you are looking for a general overview of the English Reformation then this book isn't for you. It covers a relatively narrow era of English history but explains in great detail how the English Reformation is unique compared to the greater Protestant Reformation of Europe. If you're a student of history then you will not be dissatisfied with this book.

"history" travel acknowledging time paradoxes

Revisado: 11-02-18

The story is gutsy for a science fiction novel. Time travel is extremely difficult to maintain in any story. Clines simply acknowledges the paradoxes and iterations and doesn't try explaining it. This is what I found to be so genuine about this story. I like how "history" travel is the summation of all actions advancing the plot.

I have never felt so moved by a story.

Revisado: 06-30-18

I am amazed at how this story pulls at your emotions so strongly. I haven't seen the movie and I'm not sure I will because I don't want to ruin the story as it played in my mind. Absolutely brilliant! This book will go in my #1 slot of favorites. Will Wheaton does an excellent job. I wonder how he felt when he read his own name as a character reference in the story? If you are a gamer at heart, read this book, you won't be disappointed!

Rough and tumble story

Revisado: 05-18-18

I remember seeing the film for the first time in 1999, as a senior in high school. Now that I've read the book as an adult, I picked up on more of the adolescent overtones and "ultra violence". Nevertheless, the book is better, especially since this version includes the 21st chapter. It took me a while to pick up on the "nadsat" language to understand what the narrator was talking about but found its use a brilliant depiction of the evolution of juvenile slang. The author pulls no punches describing the violence in this story, admittedly drawing revulsion from myself with details.

Definitely worth reading if you're a fan of the movie. The book makes much better sense of the title than the movie depicts.

Storyline and premise were unique; at times, the flow was a bit hard to follow.

A phenomenal piece of literature!

Revisado: 09-03-16

Frank Muller's voice fits perfectly in the reading of this story, especially when rendering Lecter's dialogues with Clarice. As for Thomas Harris, I consider this his masterpiece. I have no doubt Silence of the Lambs will someday become a classic!
