One of the greatest stories ever written.

Revisado: 06-13-24

If you've seen the films read this. If you haven't seen the films, you need to fix ur life and read this. Then or before watch the first two films which are as good as any film ever made. They are also timeless, and are just as good as ever each time. Seeing the films so many times actually made the experience so much richer to listen too. I could close my eyes and be there in my mind. Coppolla was remarkably true to the books to the point that I was amazed. Film translations of the books these does is done on the cheap, and it shows. Anyway...this was an amazing audible experience.

one of his best

Revisado: 09-27-22

Stephen King is a genius. His ability to create amazing stories, and emotionally resonant characters continues in this one. My sense of awe at how his stories all overlap with each other defies explanation. The dark tower is at the center.

joe abercrombie is the best

Revisado: 09-22-21

As I told my wife while enjoying this latest work, Joe abercrombie's books are like game of thrones if Guy Ritchie was co-writer. The dialogue is so quick and clever and at times laugh out loud hilarious. The reader is a master, and unless I'm mistaken has read every abercrombie book available on audible. I am absolutely convinced that Joe abercrombie is the best author of fantasy fiction to ever be published. Hard stop.

was just in the mood for something new...

Revisado: 06-17-21

and I was not disappointed. I expected.to find all the science stuff annoying, but it wasn't. It was fascinating. Really great book that shows us how great humanity can be when we need to be. Also, funny and fast paced.

why so loyal

Revisado: 05-26-21

the part of this book and the previous book, that drove me nuts, is our hero's unyielding loyalty and subservience to the cop named Murphy. Time and time again she falsely accuses him of the most treacherous crimes imaginable, brutalized him, emasculates him, and he keeps coming back like a tortured dog to his master. She could have at least seemed real by apologizing one time when her raging anger was proved to be misplaced but she never does, and it never occurs to our hero that she should. That, more than werewolves and all of the magic is the most unbelievable part of this book.

best contemporary fantasy series out there

Revisado: 05-11-21

The first two books in this series are the best damn contemporary, earthbound, fantasy fiction I've read. The characters are so well developed, and all of the magic seems so likely and believable. These books are gritty, dark, and they will make the squeamish run for cover. With that admitted the grittiness of the stories makes the characters feel real and alive...for better or worse.

Possibly the most important book of 20th century.

Revisado: 03-03-21

My reading of this book is long overdue. although military technological advances have likely ended the long Era in human history of megalomaniac despots seeking conquest, the threat of such leaders still exists, and the stakes have never been higher. Shirer's research and documentary evidence leave no doubt that Hitler brought he'll to Earth through his sheer disregard for humanity, and his hatred for the Jewish peoole.

Beautiful and purely introspective.

Revisado: 10-25-20

I absolutely loved this and all that was shared. I have always lived driven by many of these values and self prescriptions discussed. Thus it was beautiful to hear the works of another describe just this. Self-inventory, reality checks, the recognition to keep dreaming, and always checking back in for balance were so beautifully and poetically presented, I sincerely enjoyed this piece so much. Just as The Gentleman gave cinematic presence to the workings and unwritten laws of man, this I believe for many fans will provide further clues to their own self-realization, not to mention, the goal to always keep living.

worst writing ever

Revisado: 04-21-20

thought I'd give the ubiquitous dean koontz a try. bad choice. ridiculous plot, even knowing that the supernatural is this guy's wheelhouse. astoundingly generic characters, and the absolute dumbest thing I've ever read. I've read hundreds of books on audible, and this is by far the worst. quit after part one, and wished I quit sooner. I will never crack open another dean koontz book in my life. it reads like something written by a 12 year old with too much time on their hands. narration was ok.

What an incredible piece!

Revisado: 04-17-20

Thank you to all who put the work into this. Whew. I've walked those beaches, seen those women. I've hiked the mountainsides and shared meals there. What a sweet treasure this was to take me back and peek behind the curtains. Loved this and again, thank you for putting this out into the world.
