![]() It's simply daunting and highly educational to listen to this book. The most impressive thing about Hitchens and his writing is probably his vocabulary. This book spurred me to research Hitchens and I discovered he is quite a remarkable man. Guaranteed to be one of the best credits you'll ever use. Hitchens once said in an interview that one should read books which make one feel inadequate (in the positive intellectual sense). When he says "I" he really means it because its HIM talking. He knows just where to put the emphasis, where to sound incredulous. Juxtapose this non-issue with the insuperable benefit of having Hitchens read his own work. Let me elucidate this for you: on perhaps 3 occasions in a book of more than 8 hours, Hitchens ends a sentence so quietly that its very hard to hear what he's saying. My fear is that you will read those reviews and decide on that point alone to eschew purchasing this book. ![]() ![]() Okay, I'm officially angry-people have written reviews here claiming Hitchens's reading of his book is inaudible or full of mumbling. ![]()
