This latest installment of Fry’s Greek mythology series is a great addition to my library. We all know the story of the odyssey, but the magic in this audio version is Stephen Fry’s performance. It’s captivating and brings the story to life. I recommend it enthusiastically

I liked this book better the first time I read it years ago. Since then I’ve wearied of moralizing scientists. His predictions were biased and often wrong. I still lied his older works. This one not so much

This is a winner. The events are brutal. The enemy is evil. It’s a compelling read hard to put down though people keep dying and it’s never clear how it’s all going to turn out until the very end. Even then

As always, Coben delivers a great story with great characters and lots of twists and turn. The ending was unexpected, but really worked. Good read

It’s hard to imagine men working in terrible conditions, depending on whores for affection and dying from diseases, accidents, snakes, weather Indians and bandits. But that’s the story. The women also had a tough life either as whores or widows. It’s quite a story. 37 hours of audiobook, but worth every minute

Mostly good. Sometimes I had trouble putting the pieces together. Might be that I wasn’t concentrating. Lots of distractions this week

Fletch stories are great because of their irreverence and because the crimes he covers are usually pretty funny. This episode is no exception. The characters are mostly crazy. Or at least goofy. I laughed a lot while listening to it on audible Only three episodes to go. It should be a miniseries

Brag piece all about the author. Poorly written. Constant use of the word I. No real information or value.

There’s a lot off good stuff here but it should be taken in small doses like a podcast. Otherwise it seems too much like a rant from a crazy person. In small doses, it’s good and a worthwhile listen. I agree wit a lot, but not all.
