The preview should contain some of the book's content, not just the introduction. impossible to know that it was a complete waste of time by the sample audio.

Everything, well, almost everything, you know about American history is wrong because most textbooks and popular history books are written by left-wing academic historians who treat their biases as fact. But fear not; Professor Thomas Woods refutes the popular myths in The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History.

Great book, poor narration
Reviewed: 11-04-23
I really enjoyed the premise of the book, and the facts that Mr. Woods provided, along with quotes. However, the narration left so much to be desired that I had to fast forward through many quotes. This is intended to be a narration of a book not a one-man play. Listening to fake French and German accents completely distracted me from the actual words. I’m planning to go buy a hard copy of this book now so that I can pick up all the parts I missed. Maybe that was their plan all along.

The Real Story of Catholic History

Story5 out of 5 stars 54
Weidenkopf collects over 50 of the most common and dangerous lies about Catholic history and, drawing on his experience as a historian and apologist, shows how to answer them simply and powerfully. Whether it’s claims about Catholicism’s supposedly pagan origins, old myths about Galileo or the Inquisition that never seem to go away, or more modern misconceptions that anti-Catholics cynically exploit, The Real Story provides the desperately needed corrective.

Great Brief Catholic history

The content was concise and interesting. Narration could be improved by learning the correct pronunciation of words and names before recording but overall a good audible listen.

Is Atheism Dead?

Is Atheism Dead? is an entertaining, impressively wide-ranging, and decidedly provocative answer to that famous 1966 Time cover that itself provocatively asked “Is God Dead?” In a voice that is by turns witty, muscular, and poetic, Metaxas intentionally echoes C. S. Lewis and G. K. Chesterton in cheerfully and logically making his astonishing case, along the way presenting breathtaking - and often withering - new evidence and arguments against the idea of a Creatorless universe.

Some heresy here
Reviewed: 12-10-21
I liked the book and was really interested in everything the author had to say, until I got to the chapter about Jesus’ house in Nazareth. The author stated Joseph raised his family, including Jesus his oldest son and all his other children here. As a Catholic, I know that Mary had no other children, Jesus had no biological brothers and sisters of Mary and Joseph. If he states this as a known fact, I have to wonder what other facts he’s assuming as true which are most definitely not. Very disappointed.

Two decades after the publication of The Black Book of Communism, nearly everyone is or at least should be aware of the immense evil produced by that devilish ideology first hatched when Karl Marx penned his Communist Manifesto two centuries ago. Far too many people, however, separate Marx the man from the evils wrought by the oppressive ideology and theory that bears his name.

Essential Marxist History
Reviewed: 04-01-21
I have read a number of Paul Kengor's books, and consider him an authority on communism and it's Marxist roots; therefore, I found the personal history of Marx and his demons enlightening.
The narration would have been fine if the narrator had stuck to reading the text, not attempting to dramatize it with various accents and voices. I found the attempts at mimicry distracting and, frankky, a little cringeworthy. I ended up buying the hard cover book and reading it instead. Overall, very informative. I hope this book opens the eyes of so many people who think socialism is a good thing. This should be required reading in American schools.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 88
Some Christians decry the deism of our Founding Fathers, claiming that outright anti-Christian principles lie at the heart of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution, crippling from birth our beloved republic. Here philosopher Timothy Gordon forcefully disagrees, arguing that while anti-Catholic bias kept them from admitting their reliance on Aristotle, Aquinas, and the early Jesuits, our Protestant and Enlightenment Founding Fathers secretly held Catholic views about politics and nature.

Lost interest
Reviewed: 08-20-20
I am really interested in the subject matter of this book, and was very eager to listen. I got through the introduction and a few minutes into the first chapter when I completely zoned out. The narration does not lend itself to the material. I could not pay attention to what he was saying, and had to rewind several times just to catch the gist of it.I’m going to have to buy the hardcopy. I don’t know why they choose narrators who put you to sleep.

Not The poirot I knew
Reviewed: 03-01-18
Awful interpretation of Christie’s master detective. I hate when current mores and manners are applied to characters in the past. I had a hard time continuing to listen after the first few such examples, such as the waitress berating Poirot for drinking coffee, which was bad for his health. Please! And this was a possibly 60 minute story dragged out mercilessly into 6 hours of drivel. The narrator wasn’t the worst I’ve heard, but there were times when he spoke so low that I couldn’t make out was he was saying, even at full volume. Sorry, I can’t give this more than 1 star, and that’s only because 0 is not an option.

Voices fluctuate and sound echoes

Voices fluctuate and sound echoes
Reviewed: 11-10-16
I liked the idea of the Spanish conversations and the opportunity to listen slowly and repeat; however the female voice in particular was very hard to understand at some points and sounded as though it was recorded in an echo chamber. I understand these are supposed to be actual conversations in the native language, but when the words are slurred over so that the listener can't understand, it's very hard to learn the vocabulary. I would like a more clear pronunciation of the Spanish at least when the conversation is slowed down.
