Fantastic Book, Solid Narrator
Reviewed: 01-19-25
Another great entry in the Dune series. The only thing that could elevate this book further would be a cast of voice actors and more audio work (i.e, effects, subtle ambient sounds) -- which you see in some of the re-releases of the Dune books. But this books stands excellent as it is as well.

Story
This near-future trilogy is the first chance for English-speaking listeners to experience this multiple-award-winning phenomenon from Cixin Liu, China's most beloved science fiction author. In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion - in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy.

Excellent Story. Needed New Narrator
Reviewed: 03-16-24
The narrator from the first book should have been used a second time. Unfortunately the reading of this second novel in the set is very difficult to get through. However the compelling story is incredible to listen to regardless of who speaks it.

"Are you one of us?" a patient once asked Marsha Linehan, the world-renowned psychologist who developed dialectical behavior therapy. "Because if you were, it would give all of us so much hope." Over the years, DBT had saved the lives of countless people fighting depression and suicidal thoughts, but Linehan had never revealed that her pioneering work was inspired by her own desperate struggles as a young woman. Only when she received this question did she finally decide to tell her story.

A Must-Read for Trauma-Informed Practitioners
Reviewed: 03-10-22
The Body Keeps the Score ties together decades worth of trauma research, interventions, and insights into a coherent narrative that is both compelling and enlightening to hear. This is my second time purchasing the book as I have previously read the hardcover version. The audiobook is a good refresher on the key concepts and nuances that you might have missed during a standard read through. I highly recommend it for practitioners who work with trauma affected clients.

The only aspect that hampers this audiobook is the voice presenter who does not capture the essence of Carl or present his words in a manner that captures the spirit of the work.

Twenty years ago, it was as if someone turned on a light. The future blazed into existence with each deliberate word that William Gibson laid down. The winner of Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer didn't just explode onto the science fiction scene - it permeated into the collective consciousness, culture, science, and technology.Today, there is only one science fiction masterpiece to thank for the term "cyberpunk," for easing the way into the information age and Internet society.
