Review #1
Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies audiobook free
This is a great and thought provoking book, just what I\’ve come to appreciate and expect from Jared Diamond. Unfortunately, the narration is so dull it makes it incredibly difficult to keep engaged with the story. His voice is monotone and devoid of meaningful inflections, and throaty, I keep waiting for him to clear his throat, it turns this in to a very dry listen. Significantly reduces my enjoyment of this incredible book.

This is a fascinating and foundational work that takes a topic (for me) shrouded in obscurity (how and why did civilization emerge in the pattern it did around the globe), and provides a vivid, detailed, and substantially convincing explanation. Thanks to GGS, I see world and cultural history with new eyes. That is pretty much the highest praise I can think of for a book. I have a personal policy of ignoring (or at least trying to ignore) negative narrator reviews, as I find them always overstated. This reading is on the dry/flat/dull side, but it is still professional. The book is great and one of the most stimulating I have ever listened to. It is dense, but if you don\’t like fact, analysis, and theory, you wouldn\’t seek out this sort of book. Extremely highly recommended. It will change the way you see the world.

Audiobook Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond
What a wealth of information! So amazing to think about the inevitabilities and chance occurrences that shaped our world. I wish I could recommend this book to all since it should be standard reading(listening). The down side is that its a bit of an endurance challenge to get through. There are a lot of numbers lists and .. vocally read charts. I doubt most could make it through this entire book. An abridged version might be more digestible. Regardless, give it a try. You\’ll think about the world in a completely different way. But take your time, or else you\’ll burn out on this anvil of a book.

Audio Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies narrated by Doug Ordunio
With all the field work and research available to him Diamond stands at the brink of what could be the most fascinating and significant popular science book of the era. He brings together so many disciplines to show macro trends, chaos theory, the power of germs in fashioning human history. It could all havee been absolutely mind changing. Sadly Diamond is not Bill Bryson. He has a scientific mind and a scientific compulsion for being comprehensive. Where Bryson can spin a story out of a proton, Diamond gets mired in a repetitive catalogue of insights applied meticulously yet tediously to every possible place, time and civilisation. I would really love someone else to re-tell this – someone who has the ability to convert the linear into the prosaic. I gave up after about 50%.

His point of view is compelling, and gives definite weight to the view that all men are created equal, and \’Whites\’ for example aren\’t \’better\’ than anyone else, but that they had a better deck of cards than other peoples and cultures at a time when it mattered. I have heard others talk on the same issues and topics and make it much more engaging however. And while he titles the book \”Guns, germs and steel\”, given what takes up the majority of the book it should be titled, \”Grains, Vegetables and Domestic-able animals\”.
