How to sympathize with suicide bombers
Reviewed: 10-26-21
Excellent world building, superb performance by RC Bray as usual. I read through the previous two books with the hopes that eventually the hero would begin to do, ya know, hero things and that the terrorists would at some point be shown in a negative, unsympathetic light. But instead the hero fumbles around and fails continually and the terrorist have too many sob stories and “valid” excuses for out right murder. And whats worse, as the reader we are constantly forced to root for those people. Its disturbing in all the worst ways.
Murders of innocents and suicide bombers are, simply put, completely undeserving of sympathy or understanding. Gonna skip the rest of the series.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,146
Based in part on Dickens's own life, it is the story of a young man's journey from an unhappy and impoverished childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist. Among its gloriously vivid cast of characters, he e.ncounters his tyrannical stepfather, Mr. Murdstone; his formidable aunt, Betsey Trotwood; the eternally humble yet treacherous Uriah Heep; the frivolous, enchanting Dora; and one of literature's great comic creations, the magnificently impecunious Mr. Micawber.

Dickens by the fireside
Reviewed: 05-17-16
There is no better way in which to hear Dickens prose. Read quite masterfully and performed with expert stagecraft, the words simply dance.

A Tale of Two Cities is one of Charles Dickens's most exciting novels. Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, it tells the story of a family threatened by the terrible events of the past. Doctor Manette was wrongly imprisoned in the Bastille for 18 years without trial by the aristocratic authorities.
