Great read / listen

Revisado: 11-09-18

Great book, as well researched as all of Jeff Guinn’s books are. The level of detail is amazing, I thought I already knew a lot about Manson, but I learned even more.
Can’t wait for his next nonfiction book!

Great author

Revisado: 07-26-18

I truly Iike this author, two books- this one and Going Down Together - well researched, well written, and he doesn’t insert any of his personal opinions in to the story.
Looking forward to his next book

What memories!

Revisado: 07-03-18

I am not a Bucs fan, but I loved the old creamcicles!
Fun story, good narration, and I almost cried when the Bucs wine their first game!
Culverhouse May have been cheap, but at least he is not a knucklehead like Jerry Jones - who fires Tom Landry in such a classless manner?
I got to review a great book and slam Jerry Jones- it’s a good day!

Save me from the hippie millennials with a PhD

Revisado: 06-21-18

This guy hates the U.S. with one breath, he talks about the human rights issues in the DPRK, and then he blames it on the republicans. He recently earned his Ph.D. And it must have been in politics, economics, and foreign relations because he has no issue telling us his opinion. Get off your CNN podium and stick to what you know. He literally trashed everything “American”, and we can blame everything on George W. Bush...
This could have been a great story if he had left his politics alone. He could have waited a bit to publish this so he could blame everything on Trump.
He is also kind of pretentious- obviously impressed with his experience in the false and protected world of academia... I heard the word “banal” more in the first half of this book than o have heard in conversation in ten years.

Somewhat misleading title

Revisado: 05-28-18

This is an interesting book, but it does not really go into detail about “the final minutes”.
I was very disappointed the narrator consistently mispronounced several words common in Texas such as “San Miguel, Martinez, and Corsicana”. Come on, you’re from Texas and do not know how to pronounce common Hispanic surnames?
I appreciate that the author did not try to convince me the death penalty is wrong, but instead she explains her growth and changes which led to her change of mind.
As far as the conflict with Livingston, he is your boss. Your job is to do what he says, not what your former supervisor thought the job should be. No wonder you were drummed out, but as a former exempt employee, I understand the hypocrisy of those time sheets
Overall, a good listen

Good book, but....

Revisado: 03-17-18

Every FBI agent I have ever worked with has been self absorbed and overly impressed with themselves, John Douglas is no different.
But this is a very good book and interesting read. Informative, just could have enjoyed it better without the self adulation and promotion.

Save us from the Millennial Social Justice Warriors

Revisado: 03-17-18

This is a good book. I found it interesting and the entire time I was wondering how PUST felt it was OK to publish this book. But as with any millennial, they know better than governments, religions, and missionary administrators at PUST. Not only did she lie to PUST, she lied to everyone else- I’m not worried about deceiving the DPRK government. But from the beginning, she let it be known she was smarter than everyone else, and she was going to do what she wanted even if it harmed the mission she volunteered for just to write her own book. Millennials are smarter and know more than everyone and they will get their way regardless of the price others have to pay. Other than that, a good book.
