The Thanatos Syndrome Audiobook

" A hard book to recommend, but one filled with truth and depravity "

" I debated about giving this just one star, but I'm giving the author the benefit of the doubt. I found the book rather tedious and without much to keep the reader interested (except to wonder if it would get better). In fairness, it did pick up a little at the end, but not nearly enough. This is the only work by this author I have read. I'm led to believe this is not one of his typical novels. Perhaps I should try a different one. "

" Great book but the end dragged on a bit. I know it's intentional but still.. "

" Great writing style and curious story with the biting criticism of utopian humanism and how evil it really is. "

" A thoughtful, powerful examination of scientism and its dangerous implications for human society. A little too content-heavy for my tastes, though. "

" Maybe I should have started with another of his books, because I thought this book was just awful. "

" Whoa-how... so that's what's different about the South. Gotta get that sodium out of the water... "

" This book was worth reading, but I thought it was verbose and somewhat confusing. Percy suggests the frightening logical conclusion of the cheapening of the value of life. "

" I thought I'd try another Percy after The Moviegoer. Alas, this one went a bit awry. Interesting plot that gets off-track and ventures into la-la land. "

" Disturbingly good, but lacks the substance and depth of Love in the Ruins "

" I've struggled to find enough time (with a newborn) to really acquaint myself with Percy's style. Nonetheless, I have found every 20 minute window of time I've spent with this book enjoyable. That's a good sign. "

" very disappointed. I was expecting something to happen and nothing did. In the end all odd and ends are tied up in some sort of new age understanding of the world. "

" An unusual mystery with a great main character and often witty. "

" Just starting reading this for fun and am loving the questions it raises about the mind and the soul. "

" Ages ago, just remember I loved the writing - tiny little details about the characters that revealed so much. "

" Not a particularly well (or poorly for that matter) written book with a premise that was just barely interesting enough to finish. I do not recommend. "

" Not as good as Love in the Ruins. But still prophetic. "

" One of the stupidest books ever. Not even worth the title of glorified comic book plot ... (actually, I hear that's what they say about Kavalier & Clay and I actually want to read that one). This book, on the other hand, is just dull, twisted in a lame kind of way, and thoroughly a waste of time. "

" interesting. gripping. philosophical. "

" If I wasn't traveling with limited books, I would have dumped this one and not finished it. It was eh. Leaving it behind in the hotel. "

" This seemed really slow to start despite the exclamations to the contrary printed on the cover. That will teach me to read the "hype" before starting a book. "
