- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book shows the complicated state of our minds. The back and forth between the antagonist and his view on the world really spoke to me and how we can be good to our world and simultaneously terrible to our world.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good One, i just love the whole Idea behind it
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Lovely short listen of a beautiful story about love and compassion
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The narration of the author about nihilism and his experiences in a dream is something worth reading. Also the story beautifully unveils the importance of every life on this earth .
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a nice little story concerning the ridiculousness of everything, for good and I’ll. It presages existentialism but with a Christian bent. I haven’t read any Kierkegaard but I feel like this must have inspired or been inspired by him. The reading was a little distracting. Almost like an AI but wasn’t too bad.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Beautiful, but I can’t explain why. I feel like I will need to read this a few more times to get a greater understanding of why it moves me
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Though that dream, he sees how humanity evolved from blessed to sorry state. His own version of Adam and Eve story. Good!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Dostoevsky has given me the truth in a way I have never dreamed of.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book with a theme that stands the test of time. Really great to start getting into dostoevsky.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Fantastic book but boy oh boy, what terrible narration. I don’t mean to be overly critical or mean spirited but this is unlistenable
