Thank you God for Saint Augustine & the listen.

Reviewed: 02-18-21

An astonishing intellect and spirit filled guide is St. Augustine, and the narrative reader was superb. I've had weeks of daily listening pleasure, enthralled and elevated. I repeat that experience again, after a short period of digestion. Simply beautiful.

Narrative = Reality in other words/symbols

Reviewed: 06-23-20

It was one of the most engrossing collection of narratives I've ever listened to through my ears or in my own mind from reading the tales mankind has passed along. In this moment of contemplation having come to the end of this presentation the thought strikes me, 'will there come a time when our science is seen as a mythology and quantum a product of the trickster?'

Reality: The Great Love Affair

Reviewed: 06-06-18

As a former physics major, who has sustained an interest in the developments of science and mathematics, despite dropping it to pursue art the rest of my life, I found Gleick's romance with the aluring maiden Chaos, intensly engaging and immensely illuminating of a plethora of 'mere' intuitions, beginning with the one which urged me from science to art; I, "a dynamic system free at last from the constraints of (nailed down) order". I recommend this book to anyone in love with the reality of Dame Nature and her oft times baffling coquettery.

Hello, goodbye, I don't know why?

Reviewed: 03-29-18

I loved the book. I had the good fortune to spend some time with the man in the early 80s and have read some of his books, but to have this account, gives me a more filled in picture and deeper appreciation of the man and of those times. I hated to see it end, as I was saddened to see him come to an end. Great man, damn strait, with clever convolutions.

The Unspeakable at Last Spoken

Reviewed: 08-27-12

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I have and will. To gain a deeper understanding of, not only the assasination, but of the workings of the shadow government to supplant constitutional government, of, by, for the people, with one fashioned and controlled by them to serve their narrow interests at the expense of the national welfare.

Who was your favorite character and why?

John Kennedy, because I learned more about his courage and thoughtful plans to disengage from the insanity which threatened at the time and has since become our daily bread. What a different world it might be had he lived to see his plans brought to fruition.

What does Pete Larkin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I'm a slow reader because I often have to go back and rephrase something when it hasn't sounded right in my head. Larkin's understanding and familiarity with the material provides that dramatization of the story line in an uninterupted flow effortlessly.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Prophiles in usurpation.

Any additional comments?

It should be required reading in every high school and test questions on its contents a prerquisite for holding public office. We might get our national integrity back.

Clear presentation, understandable to the lay man.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I already have recommended it to a friend who shares an interest in the advancement of scientific understanding, for the reasons cited in the headline.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The cosmos, because it exceeds Cleopatra in its infinite variety and mysterious allure and secondarily the cleverness of the detectives in following the clues in the most recent chapter, while posing mysteries yet unsolved.

What about Steve West’s performance did you like?

I thought it excelent.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If you mean was it sufficently intriguing to want not to put it down, the answer is yes. However the length precluded that and it was equally gratifying to look forward to the remainder.

Any additional comments?

I could only wish that Hawkings could accept the intelligent action of a devine being and not be held by the belief that intelligence is a relatively recent development. Eveything about everything makes more sense to me with that belief I hold, that God is and that the ellivated consciousness of man has produced riches in art, literature and thought, seeking harmony with that Being.
