communist revisionism

Discovered what this book was after listening to first few minutes, then researched the title. You should do the reverse.

Candace Owens is a wise and very brave young woman

Revisado: 12-05-21

Candace Owens may single handedly save race relations in this country if only people will read her book. Black Americans, white Americans, all Americans. Well written, beautifully and forcefully narrated by the author. I will continue to watch, read and listen to this remarkable young American.

Not about Climategate

Revisado: 05-09-19

I listened to this expecting a comprehensive report of "Climategate" - the Climatic Research Unit email controversy of 2009. Although the author spends some time on this it is certainly not the focus of the book and does not provide any comprehensive details. The book is instead a general summary of the climate skeptics' arguments with regard to global warming. If you are already familiar with these, then there won't be much new to learn. He does do a good job of describing the Cap-and-Trade bill and much of the regulatory scheme embedded in it.
The author uses derogatory names repeatedly when referring to those who promote global warming hysteria. While I also feel these people are misguided or have ulterior motives, name calling is not persuasive and is amateurish.
Finally, the author tries to tie together socialism/communism with atheism. In other words, if you believe in God, then you cannot be a socialist and if you don't believe, then you must be a commie. As someone who is an atheist and a staunch free-market Libertarian, I found this offensive. He lays this out right in the first chapter and I almost turned the book off. I stayed with it hoping there would be some meat in the book, but not so much.

More than just Sailing

Revisado: 12-17-17

This book is much more than a story about single-handed sailing. Plenty of that, for sure. But in addition, I found the author an excellent and entertaining narrator, an excellent teacher, story teller and artistic observer of the human experience at sea and ashore. I laughed, and I cried with Mr. Williams on our journey to Hawaii and beyond. Yes, I will go up and put in the third reef.

Thanks for having me along!

Great book. Poor performance.

Revisado: 01-16-16

I thoroughly enjoyed the content of the book but had trouble staying with it because of what seemed like an uninspired performance. I was surprised when I realized that the reader and the author are one and the same. The person reading the book just doesn't sound interested in dinosaurs or paleontology. Go figure. Being only the casual dinosaur enthusiast, I learned a lot.

Excellent

Revisado: 07-28-12

Despite what some of the other reviewers have said, Krauss makes a convincing argument that the universe could arise from nothing - as long as quantum fluctuations in empty space qualify as nothing. I found his narration to be excellent as he conveys the enthusiasm that he has for the subject. I rate the book very high though I agree with some others that his continued "sniping" at the faithful is not necessary. His frustration with the God debate is worn on his sleeve.

Top Notch

Revisado: 07-28-12

An excellent and entertaining read. I learned a lot about the early part of the war in the Pacific. And it was an exciting read. I love Gardner's performance but I see that not everybody does. Listen to the sample - his voice and delivery are distinctive - you decide. The writing is excellent, in my opinion. Lots of detail and interesting asides without slowing down the story. Mr. Toll, please write the next part!
