À propos de cet audio

The most startling thing about disasters, according to award-winning author Rebecca Solnit, is not merely that so many people rise to the occasion, but that they do so with joy. That joy reveals an ordinarily unmet yearning for community, purposefulness, and meaningful work that disaster often provides. A Paradise Built in Hell is an investigation of the moments of altruism, resourcefulness, and generosity that arise amid disaster's grief and disruption and considers their implications for everyday life. It points to a new vision of what society could become - one that is less authoritarian and fearful, more collaborative and local.

Narrator more concerned with showing her acting chops than delivering content, annoying and distracting

Terrible Narrator, Irritating Voices

it's a cool concept for a book but it drones on and on and has way too much religious content which makes me not want to read it.... too bad because it was recommended by Cory Doctorow who is an amazing science fiction author who had previously written about similar ideas that this book has talked about.

cool concept but failed to deliver

I couldn’t even finish this book, despite a high degree of interest in the topic, because the narration was so bad.

Horrible narration

the accents attempted are just plain garbage. I fast forwarded to a later part where she attempts a Brooklyn accent. it's laughable how bad it is.

awful
