MFO captures the insanity of existence. This is a true American literary gem from one of our not-as-mainstream-heralded literary 🦸‍♀️ heroines. I enjoyed Balky's consistent voices and characters, and clarity of delivery. I will look for more books narrated by Mr Pinchot.

Prose, plot and powerful performance

Revisado: 03-05-21

Le Guin was an artist who wrote 📚- If you just want a simple story told with just enough skill to mystify you without overwhelming the fantasy palate with unnecessary elements, Le Guin's first three Earthsea book is for you. Especially The Farthest Shore, which is more "mature" than the first two and enriched with gorgeous passages. Her style is brilliant. The Narrator KHS was a bit too whispery for the Archmage at times, which is not so bad as to send it back but buyer beware, you might turn it up to hear Ged only to cringe at Aaron's childish voice. Narrator could improve in terms of dynamics but he has an awesome voice perfect for storytelling 👏🏻

bring order out of chaos- a great reflection of a former age - still groundbreaking to our modern times and certainly articulate and thorough. Lots of nuggets and food for thought- enjoyed immensely and learned a ton by simply following the reasoning in such a clearly organized and intellectually engaging book -

thought provoking, reasoned, tempered yet bold

the Spaniards have a saying "quien no llora no mama" (whoever fails to cry also fails to get the teet)- a democratic society can only exist with education and open dialogue, listening not only to whoever cries and complains the loudest but everyone- especially historians. this is a well rendered example of an articulate and well reasoned defense of our historical figures- don't erase them!!! learn to love them as much as you love your family because they are, after all, humans with virtues and vices, figures to be understood in the context of their times and also on the merits of their actions. bravo to Mr Stepman-

cliffhangers and another disappointment from the narrator

Revisado: 09-14-20

no spoilers... but once again the portfolio of characters by Dotrice whittled his 5+ star performance from the first books down to a paltry 1- - he had been the reason why i listened, now it's why i couldn't wait to get done - and also the cause of confusion (a listener gets used to a voice just like a face!!!!)

Exceeded expectations, 5-star triple crown

Revisado: 07-24-17

I got this book to clear the fog of perception and ignorance that had been shrouding a very important political figure in US history. Readers beware! Lots of nuggets in here that will have you checking facts and googling names... a gem of a book.

as if i were sitting down together with mythical HH for tea, listening to his anecdotes and life lessons, soaking up his charmed life from Miles to Joni. Thanks for writing the book and also for 'reading' it. Enjoued immensely

Dabbling in psychoanalysis and literary interpretation, this is a must read for anyone interested in understanding (not interpreting) dreams and symbols, and includes a broad explanation of terms and thoughtful insight into the powerful wisdom of the world of the unconscious mind. The closing chapter on a Kafka masterpiece is worth the many hours of listening to this narrator (who could have also played Doug in the animated film 'Up')- the only drawback was that this narrator sounded like Alan Alda without the dynamic spark that would have made this reading stand out: a great attempt nevertheless
