Review of 'Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
The material was presented in a fairly disorganized way.
Much of this material needs to be organized as checklists and flowcharts, but it is written as paragraphs and images. Plenty of material for the FSDAP exams was only found in one brief sentence in the description of an image.

madklowns reviewed God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert (Dune, #4)
Review of 'God Emperor of Dune' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Somehow managed to make 15:40 of exposition with a closing 00:08 of action into a page turner. This series really goes off the deep end into a dreamlike wonderland, and I'm here for it. Never would have guessed the ending. Damn you Leto, you knew the whole time you sly sad worm. He was the predator humanity needed.
Review of 'Ace' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A really thoughtful book that really helped me see the world from a new perspective. A few parts were a bit weedy for someone who isn't immersed in the world of gender studies, but it was worth pushing through. Definitely would recommend to anyone.

Review of 'Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
One of the most impactful books I've ever read. Each section is dense with valuable insights. I can confidently say this book marks the start of my road to recovery. It may be a long road, but this book gives me courage and a roadmap to undertake the journey.
Through this book I've become more aware of my own reactions and flashbacks. Awareness and journaling makes for a powerful combination. I plan to read this book many more times.
Pete thank you so much for writing this book. You've changed my life.
madklowns reviewed Wanting by Luke Burgis
Review of 'Wanting' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I really liked this book. It's like a book report of the works of Rene Girard, written by a silicon valley entrepreneur. While a few parts rubbed me the wrong way, it was a fascinating read that really got me to see the world differently. I'm eager to go read the original source.
