"A Classic Favorite"
I first read “The Deep Range” as a boy when it was originally published and have read it again since then. It’s always been one of my favorites from Arthur C. Clark. Hearing it as an audible work was another chance to revisit it. Like many classic works, this is one that I would recommend reading in print before listening to the audio.
"Impressive – Very Well Done"
I only give five starts to books that I enjoyed so well that I know I’ll listen to them more than once. There’s so little time and so many books, that doesn’t happen very often.
"Cosmology made easy, kind of."
I've been asked to review this book. Actually, I'm still working on it. It's very information rich. Brian Greene makes great use of analogy and explains complicated topics in easy language and in great detail. If you have an interest in cosmology, this is a great book and is up to date. Best taken a chapter at a time so you can absorb it and think about it before moving on.
I’m interested in astronomy and cosmology so it’s been interesting and worth it for me.
"Read by the Author"
Good information on how to grow your business through social media. The author reads the book like he was presenting it to a seminar. He has no issue with frequently going “off script” from the book material to include more current information or personal notes. He includes lots of relevant examples on how to put the information to good use.
"Real life time travel"
I read this as a boy along with many other books by Isaac Asimov. Now as a working adult I don’t have as much time for reading as I used to. Hearing the performance was a chance to visit this work again and enjoy it in a new way. It’s still as good as I remember.
