Machine gun narration nearly ruins fine book.
Allan Bloom's book The Closing of the American Mind was one of the formative works of my youth. Bloom's critique impaired my youthful, unfounded, know-it-all confidence and set me on a path of lifelong study. I expected to enjoy reviewing the book and deepening my understanding of it by listening to it as an audiobook. And if the Audible app for iPhone offered a narration speed in between 0.75x and 1.0x, perhaps 0.9x, one could slow Hurt down to a speed at which one might be able to understand, follow, and think about the difficult thoughts he rattles off. However, as matters stand, I do not know how long I will be able to endure Hurt's rapid, mumbly performance.

interesting but contains a lot of fluff
very interesting though it seems filled with fluff, and could've been shortened with a couple of hours and still kept its message.

Allan Bloom is a prophet
I used to see this book as a diagnosis of the past, but if you want to understand the present political and social situation of the west, you'll read this book.

Insightful, erudite and is obviously greatly influential on the thinkers of the early 21st century.

My new favorite book
I've probably listened to this 7 or 8 times in just the last couple of months. This seriously has everything you need in a book. Already have seen amazing changes in my life since applying the concepts discussed within it. Do yourself a favor and get this book.

Good listen
Could use less of the background music and maybe improve the audio so it doesn’t sound 1960’s.

Can't recommend enough!
Intriguing and so helpful! A must-read for parents, teachers, & admin. They make compelling arguments for the trends in higher ed and politics, and they weave information in ways that keep you hooked as a listener.
