"would anybody tell me if i was getting stupider?**"
rhetoric by Aristotle-
the story/content: it is the writings of Aristotle, I believe it is obvious to say that it is brilliant. The content is so poignant. There is much to learn from these writings. there is wisdom for learning a just and honorable life. However, as intelligent as it is, i must mention that it is a wee-bit dry at times (example: parts related to Political science or import/export).
The performance: outstanding. The sound quality of the recording is crystal clear. The narrator's voice is unique and fit perfectly to the content. His tone and timber are perfect. But what separates him, makes this 5 star performance, is his articulation. His phonetic lisps and enunciation are unlike any reader I have heard to date. He sounds to me like the quintessential English professor. And his performance make the listening so pleasant that it is easy for repeats thus to glean as much as the author would have intended.
SIDE NOTE – as positive as I am of this audiobook, I believe that "The Dream of Reason" is better. Again the narrator is perfect for the job but the content is easier to digest, has a greater fluidity and covers a broad range of philosophy instead of only Aristotle’s writings.

"Good Content, Bad Reader"
The reader just doesn't do the content justice, it feels when you're listening to it that you are in the middle of a stuffy 1920's English classroom with a teacher droning on about Rhetoric. I love the works of Aristotle and a good reader could have made this bearable.

"One of the Foundations of Western Knowledge"
What made the experience of listening to Rhetoric, Poetics and Logic the most enjoyable?Aristotle looks at many topics that are not commonly covered by modern authors. This covers the foundation of much of our modern knowledge-base, something we should all understand and give some thought to before making our own contribution. Some of the language may be old fashioned, but you do have to realise this was written in ancient Greek, but it is still an important work even today.
This is the basis of modern thinking and in some respects goes beyond modern thinking.
Who was your favorite character and why?Non-fiction and no characters are included.
