Smart, Enlightening, Funny

Évalué le: 2025-04-25

I found this book to be smart and entertaining, not to mention extremely important for the times we live in. Despite the sobering messages within, the author had a great sense of humor and made me laugh out loud many times. I think everyone should read this book.

Not For Me

Évalué le: 2024-09-29

The narrator is pleasant to listen to, but this book is extremely focused on wicca. And despite saying at the beginning that it was written for more experienced witches, the author spends huge amounts of time talking about wicca 101 topics like the three fold law, etc. I was looking for a book that would give many examples of tiny rituals that can be used throughout the day to make life more magical, but this wasn't that, and the topics it discussed that weren't wicca, seemed to all be common sense generalities (although I do confess that I didn't quite finish the book, as I got frustrated with it).. This could be a good book for some people but it just wasn't what I was looking for (or what seemed to be advertised in the write up).

Love this audiobook!

How amazing to learn about these brave and wonderful creatures. I can't express how much I love this book. I have always loved wolves, but I realize now that I didn't actually know much about them. What a treat to be able to have a look into the emotional lives of these incredible animals. This book made me cry more than once. I wish it didn't have to end!

One of my Favorites

Évalué le: 2022-03-05

Out of the close to 100 books in my audible library, this book is definitely in my top five. I've listened to it countless times. I love that it is nice and short. I love the stories/lessons, some if which I recognized from buddhist/taoist teachings and others that were brand new. I love the narrator and the way it is presented as a letter from a knight to his children before going off to battle. In my opinion, it's definitely worth a listen and re-listen and re... well, you get the idea ;P

I Didn't Want it to End

Évalué le: 2020-10-27

I read some reviews from people who didn't like this book, saying that it is just a bunch of talking heads, people talking in one room after another the whole way through. This is actually true. There isn't a lot of action in this book. Actually, scratch that, there is plenty of action but we don't often get to be a part of it. Instead, we hear a lot of people talking about the action, discussing problems, making plans, etc. It sounds boring, I know. So much so, that I almost didn't buy the book, but now I am so glad I did try it! Despite the bad case of talking head syndrome, the story sucked me right in and I found it more engaging and stimulating than most other books I have read this year. More, The Last Best Hope made me think; about myself, my values, the world. And in my opinion, this is a lot of what makes Star Trek so great.

It may have helped that I listened to the book after I watched the series, so I already had a feel for some of the main characters and the overall situation. I may have not liked it so much if I had just jumped into it before watching the first season.

The only thing that I really didn't like was all the swearing. I don't mind swearing in general but it just really doesn't fit in Star Trek. It felt weird and every time I heard the f-word (which was probably 15 or so times), it really took me out of the story. Other than that, I thought it was fantastic.

Loved this Course!

Évalué le: 2020-03-14

I have been on audible for a couple years now and have listened to close to 50 audiobooks (most of them very good) but this is the first time that I have felt compelled to leave a review. This course was incredibly fascinating and I loved all the references to favorite shows and episodes. I recommend it highly, though I admit that I do so for completely selfish reasons. If it becomes popular enough maybe Great Courses will decide to do a sequel!
