Very Comprehensive History of the Man of Steel

Reviewed: 02-06-25

This is a great listen. Probably the most comprehensive history of the man of steel that I’ve ever consumed. Truly, the only gripe that I have against it is no fault of the book itself. It ends right before Zack Snyder‘s Man of Steel releases. So I’m left with a deep desire for a part two.

A peek behind a very secretive curtain

Reviewed: 12-06-23

I loved everything about this book. As a lifelong comic book fan, and, of course, a devout fan of the Marvel, cinematic universe, this book was informative, eye-opening, and a full on nostalgia trip. I can only hope for a follow up to it… That is, if the MCU is still a thing within the next decade.

Excellent Story and Storytelling

Reviewed: 07-24-23

This was an original concept delivered brilliantly. The attention to detail throughout the story made me imagine the author had one of those walls full of strings, connecting the dots of the elements in the story.

The structure of the story, telling a bit of the past and a bit of the present, made the book never lose its pace and intrigue.

The narrator was great. Read it in such a way that I could sped up the narration to 1.5x and no feel like I was listening to a chipmunk tell the story.

I've started to recommend this book, even before finishing it. It's that good.

Inspiring, not just in conventional ways

Reviewed: 10-08-21

McConaughey has lived in an interesting middle point between the conventional and unconventional. Despite the fact that he is one of Hollywood's top talents, the man manages to tap into the spirit and the mind of every day people in a very surprising way. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

My single criticism of this audiobook is the fact that when he does his prescribes and bumper stickers, he appears to be shouting off Mike for some reason. Aside from being a bit distracting, it also forced me to be changing my volume every time he ended one of his main points.

Such a Unique Experience

Reviewed: 04-13-20

It’s not every audiobook that gives you a glimpse into the author’s soul... but this one does just that. Can’t wait to get into more of Offerman’s books.

Great Message... But Some Will Need Patience to Absorb It

Reviewed: 01-15-20

This is a beautiful book with beautiful intentions. The core message of the actual four agreements is universal and humanistic. However, it’s sandwiches in between a new age spiritual perspective that can be distracting at times.

If you’re a secular-minded individual and can have a bit of patience with the heavily spiritual content, you’ll walk away with a beautiful, practical set of life lessons that can truly change your life.

Remarkable

Reviewed: 10-09-19

What a flawed, deep, courageous, brilliant, and world-changing human being! And what a beautifully presented account of his life. Once again, Walter Isaacson paints an even, fair portrait of an individual whom all should study.
