Historia
The second Dune installment explores new developments on the planet Arrakis, with its intricate social order and strange, threatening environment. Dune Messiah picks up the story of the man known as Muad'Dib, heir to a power unimaginable, bringing to fruition an ambition of unparalleled scale: the centuries-old scheme to create a superbeing who reigns not in the heavens but among men. But the question is: DO all paths of glory lead to the grave?

An amazing book, amazing series
Revisado: 01-21-23
I've listened to this audiobook at least three times now. The entire original series by Frank Herbert is one of the most thought-provoking and intelligent series I've come across, but it also inspires a great fear as well. RIP Frank Herbert.

Good as I expected
Revisado: 06-30-21
Surprisingly intelligent. I expected the vampirism to be some mystical, spooky force, but instead was greeted with a scientific, (semi-)realistic story of how a plague can actually spread.
Would suggest for everyone.

Historia
The desert planet Arrakis, called Dune, has been destroyed. Now, the Bene Gesserit, heirs to Dune's power, have colonized a green world—and are tuning it into a desert, mile by scorched mile. Chapterhouse Dune is the last book Frank Herbert wrote before his death: A stunning climax to the epic Dune legend that will live on forever.

First couple hours are somewhat bland

Typical kid stuff, but after twenty or so chapters it's very good look at things like prejudice and discrimination from the viewpoint of a child.

Historia
One of the most influential works of this century, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays is a crucial exposition of existentialist thought. Influenced by works such as Don Juan and the novels of Kafka, these essays begin with a meditation on suicide; the question of living or not living in a universe devoid of order or meaning.

Very detailed, but complicated
Revisado: 04-06-20
The performance was well done, but is far too complicated for me to really enjoy on the first read.
The author provides many thought-provoking ideas, but the 20th century way of speaking makes it quite the hurdle for me to understand.
Overall, I'd suggest to those looking for an in-depth look at suicide and numerous philosophers such as Kierkegaard and Nietzche. Definitely NOT a quick read, at least for me.

Historia
This audiobook is jam-packed with fascinating facts and stories. For instance, it covers all that you need to know about the nine realms as well as captivating tales of Odin, Thor, Loki, and Ragnarok. The Vikings of Norse poetry and saga were a fearless lot, and their tales were frequently tragic. Some, if not all, of the myths were based on real people and real events. These heroes accomplished many fantastic feats, some of them even documented by their enemies.

Has a number of flaws
Revisado: 03-10-20
As good as it was as a general overview of Norse history and belief, there are a number of details that are incorrect.
Would only suggest as a general overview, and nothing more.

Discover how Hilter’s forces impacted the people of Great Britain in this edition. If you were to step back in time to London, 1940, despite the fact you’d still be able to pick out the great familiar landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, wonderful green parks and open spaces, you’d also find a city, and for that matter an entire nation, under siege.

Author glosses over some things, such as Okinawa, for example, but for the most part, is something I would suggest to those looking for a brief overview of WWII, especially for those with an interest in the European view of things.

Historia
At last, one of the world’s greatest works of science fiction is available - just as author Stanislaw Lem intended it. To mark the 50th anniversary of the publication of Solaris, Audible, in cooperation with the Lem Estate, has commissioned a brand-new translation - complete for the first time, and the first ever directly from the original Polish to English. Beautifully narrated by Alessandro Juliani ( Battlestar Galactica), Lem’s provocative novel comes alive for a new generation.

Although good, can be droning at times
Revisado: 04-22-19
I highly suggest that people listen to this book because it details the life and inter-workings of the planet that this story is about, and raises many questions about what a human being is and what consciousness is, though most of the questions are rhetorical, as good books leave these kind of big questions often should, or at least I think. The story and the main characters' struggles are interesting, though most of the story pertains to Solaris, or the human experience relating to Solaris.
I find the story to be quite interesting, though I have to admit that I've had to take a break from this because it can at times get frustrating to listen to just the history or the workings of the planet, and not what's happening to the main characters.
For those looking for a story about the characters going through the Heroes' Journey with some backstory added on, I suggest that these people skip this. This is more of a history and examination of the planet Solaris Stanislaw Lem puts forth with some parts of the Heroes' Journey sprinkled in.
Overall, I'd say this is well written, but closer to an examination of Solaris than a tale of heroism.

Michael Korda's Hero is the story of an epic life on a grand scale: a revealing, in-depth, and gripping biography of the extraordinary, mysterious, and dynamic Englishman whose daring exploits and romantic profile, including his blond, sun-burnished good looks and flowing white robes, made him an object of intense fascination, still famous the world over as "Lawrence of Arabia".

Originally written for the pulp magazines of the 1920s and '30s, H. P. Lovecraft's astonishing tales blend elements of horror, science fiction, and cosmic terror that are as powerful today as they were when first published. This tome brings together all of Lovecraft's harrowing stories, including the complete Cthulhu Mythos cycle, just the way they were when first released.

Not only is Lovecraft's works amazing and as great as I had hoped, but all of the readers are at the very least decent. I will be following most, if not all of their future readings.
