A very contemporary and enjoyable translation.

Holy shit, probably my favourite end to a trilogy of any series.

These books are a masterpiece of tiny, inconsequential details strewn throughout a world of incredible grandeur. And then as you race towards the close, all those seemingly unconnected facts become part of this hugely creative masterpiece of a climax.

Not only that, but the Epilogue actually gave us the closure that so many books simply leave to the imagination.

Fucking WELL DONE Mr Sanderson.

By far the best introduction to Stoicism I have read. I would strongly recommend this as the first book for anyone wanting to learn more about the philosophy. After reading this, I'd recommend moving on to something like “Stoicism and the Art of Happiness” by Donald Robertson. That will take you deeper into all of the topics explored here.

Unshakable Freedom is written in a very engaging and accessible format. Well done to Chuck for breaking down a complex topic so well, and without losing the critical essence of it.

I'll agree with many of the comments here - this book has a weirdly defensive tone throughout. I'm not sure exactly who the author is defending against, but it became quite tiresome to read.

The first part of the book, especially the Introduction, was a very digestible primer for Stoicism.

A very nice jump-in/jump-out refresher on the application of Stoic philosophy. Grey has done a fantastic job putting this together. The ancient texts and modern interpretations flow very naturally and I find this is one of my favourite resources on the subject.

One of the extremely rare books where I preferred the movie!

This book was an engrossing read from start to finish. The research is fascinating and the applications are much wider ranging than I would have expected going into the book.

I'd go so far as to say that it's the best book I have personally read on the psychology of achievement. The lessons in here are extremely important, should you choose to implement them.

It's a slow start - a lot of common knowledge for the first part of the book. But then it opens up into some incredibly insightful writing. There are concepts in here that you might have heard before, but many of them are presented in very unique and new ways. There were quite a few things that I'd heard before, but finally clicked when I viewed them from this perspective. There's also a quite intelligent social commentary that provides some context for many of the behaviours we witness in the modern world. Well worth a read.

Maybe I missed some pivotal plot point ... but once you find out the ending, you realise none of the book needed to happen. It's a very confusing read (and rating), because the story is fantastic but also completely pointless.

A fantastic book with a very cool plot device. Slightly let down by the ending - it was a very big build up and a slightly awkward stop.

Probably my favourite in the series so far.

Not up to the usual Grisham standard, and a super depressing read.

A good beginner or consumer reference.

4.5 stars for the wordsmithing - it's absolutely gorgeous. Many excellent quotes and bits worth remembering.

2 stars for the story - I didn't really connect with the characters or story, and was just phoning it in by the end.

The glowing 5 star reviews on here had me very excited to read this, but perhaps I'm just not the target market.

I bought the ebook version, and it was such an excellent book that after just a couple of pages I went online and immediately purchased the physical copy. I know that I'll be highlighting, cross-referencing, and re-reading a significant amount.

Fantastic heist story. Great character development although perhaps a little overblown on the romance near the end. And what a great cliffhanger ending!

Easily 7 out of 5 for me. I read the full trilogy before this, but it was quite some time ago so I think this book can stand on it's own.

The ending is truly exceptional, I closed the book and just sat there speechless for a bit. I can't say much without spoiling, but it's a very different take on what it means to love and be loved.
