About this listen
In Thomas Aquinas in 90 Minutes, Paul Strathern offers a concise, expert account of Aquinas' life and ideas and explains their influence on man's struggle to understand his existence in the world. The book also includes selections from Aquinas' work, a brief list of suggested readings for those who wish to delve deeper, and chronologies that place Aquinas within his own age and in the broader scheme of philosophy.

Biography over though
Interesting but spends too much time on biography details and not as much on summing up his thought.

Objective, to the point and entertaining.
The author provides a secular approach to the story of Aquinas and his ideas and therefore is able to be mostly objective minus the occasional opinionated remark.

Looks like the author hates his subject
I get that some people need to write about subjects they dislike. I just wish it wasn’t done in an introduction to the work of that person. The author clearly hates Aquinas, hazarding wild guesses about Aquinas’ motivations and calling his actions “evil” while postulating that Aquinas never produced anything new, only rehashing neoplatonism. What and absolute clown show this work was. Couldn’t bring myself to even finish the short 90 minute rant against Aquinas. Pass on this work and find someone a bit more fair and equitable in his treatment of this philosopher. Not even the narrator could save this work.

Abrupt, flippant and insulting
An incredible amount of time in this profile is spent on invective and insult. Very little information is within. a cursory Wikipedia browsing will give you more than is offered here. There is no attempt to summarize or convey any of Aquinas' ideas. Waste of time, at least it was free.
