    God is change. That is the central truth of the Earthseed movement, whose unlikely prophet is 18-year-old Lauren Olamina. The young woman's diary entries tell the story of her life amid a violent 21st-century hell of walled neighborhoods and drug-crazed pyromaniacs - and reveal her evolving Earthseed philosophy. Against a backdrop of horror emerges a message of hope: if we are willing to embrace divine change, we will survive to fulfill our destiny among the stars.

    Story

    Atmosphere and discription are strong this work. I was trying to imagine what would cause an increasing group of people to gravitate to the heroine. Admitedly, she is a strong, courageous, and perhaps charismatic leader, however, she had no new thoughts, nor even any inspiring old ones.

    Ms Thigpen's voice and delivery is pleasant and entirely appropriate for the heroine.

    Welcome to the paperless (or "audiobook") edition of More Information Than You Require, a further compendium of COMPLETE WORLD KNOWLEDGE assembled and illumined by John Hodgman, a Famous Minor Television Personality. It contains all of the half-truths, fake trivia, amazing made-up facts, and molemanic lore as the paper edition, narrated here by Resident Expert John Hodgman, occasionally interrupted by this veritable extravaganza of illustrious and sometimes presumptuous guests.

    I tried to listen to this book three times. I swear; I honestly tried. I wanted to give it its due.
    I gave up.
