Very Interesting!

Revisado: 10-06-23

Survey data and anecdotes on the dechurched were very interesting. Second half of the book, where they discussed solutoons, was weaker. Overall a great read on an important topic.

Thorough but accessible

Revisado: 11-24-21

Thorough, but accessible. Covers the evolution argument extremely well. Goes through creationism, intelligent design and theistic creationism and explains each and their arguments and then goes through the science. A great read for a Christian struggling with reconciling faith and science.

Good but Incomplete

Revisado: 06-08-21

The book was an interesting read. I thought she made several important points about the historical context of women serving God, but I found her support for egalitarianism thin in textual support from the Bible. I feel like she needed an additional chapter to address it more fully .

I have wanted to express the same thought myself and I found my thought written down already in this play!

Surprisingly Biting

Revisado: 06-06-17

I read this because I wanted to get through the classics but I never expected to enjoy it as much as I did. Thackeray is hilarious and I kept finding myself laughing aloud as I listened. As relevant today as the day it was published.

Instantly relatable and relevant

Revisado: 03-07-17

Tolstoy used Anna Karenina to have conversations with the reader on religion, faith, politics, work and other big topics. These conversations are still relevant and poignant to the current. I was very happily surprised at how much I enjoyed the novel. Also, Maggie Gyllenhaal was a great narrator.

Witty & Wonderful, but Google the illustrations

Revisado: 05-19-16

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have already recommended this book to several friends. It's a light, short story that at once, doesn't take itself too seriously, but also makes you think about big concepts like mortality, morality, what it means to be loved, etc.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Little Prince?

The introduction/first chapter is one of my favorites. It's very post-modern and makes you chuckle.

What about Humphrey Bower’s performance did you like?

His voice for the title character was great. I also like the pace of his voice. It was very intentional where he decided to pause or speak more quickly, etc.

An amazing read from Golding himself!

Revisado: 05-19-16

Where does Lord of the Flies rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This audiobook provides amazing commentary at the start and end from William Golding (the author) himself.

While Golding's thick British accent can be a bit tough to decipher at times, the book is quick, wonderful and very much an I-have-to-keep-listening sort of tale. Highly recommend.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Lord of the Flies?

When Ralph and Piggy find the Conch for the first time is a pretty fun scene. Additionally, when Simon finally confronts "The Lord of the Flies" is something I'll never forget.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I definitely gasped a few times throughout the reading.

Any additional comments?

Lord of the Flies is a brilliant story of what happens when boys are left to their own devices and laws cease to exist.
