Picture Don Corleone in Mario Puzo’s The Godfather. Throw in the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre and the murders of John F. Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald, Marilyn Monroe, Bugsy Siegel, Sam Giancana, Lucky Luciano, Tony the Ant Spilotro, Johnny Roselli, and Jimmy Hoffa. Toss in Hollywood scandal and the mobbed-up career of Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack. Now you can begin to grasp the epic story of Tony Accardo. Why has this story never been told? Accardo killed everyone in his path....

Good book. Bad narration.
Revisado: 02-09-24
Poor delivery, mispronouncations, and incessant mouse clicking in the background. I'm surprised that it was even released like this.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 21
In 2013, the German government confiscated roughly 1,300 works by Henri Matisse, George Grosz, Claude Monet, and other masters from the apartment of Cornelius Gurlitt, the reclusive son of one of Hitler's primary art dealers. For two years, the government kept the discovery a secret. In Hitler's Last Hostages, Mary M. Lane reveals the fate of those works and tells the definitive story of art in the Third Reich and Germany's ongoing struggle to right the wrongs of the past.

Good book but unbearable narrator.
Revisado: 10-30-22
The author does a good job of explaining how Hitler's childhood and artistic aspirations contributed to to his character, personality, and the crimes he eventually committed against his country and humanity. Unfortunately, the author is a much better writer than narrator. It was tough to finish the book due to her annoying, unnecessarily dramatic inflection throughout the entire book.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 26
Since he was a young boy, Joe Balzer dreamed of flying. He pursued his goal with passion and earned his pilot licenses, piling up hours of flight time with a wide variety of planes and jets with one overarching goal: to one day fly for a major airline. But Joe had a problem. He was an alcoholic and refused to admit to himself that he had a problem. His alcoholism caught up with him in March 1990, when Joe was arrested with two other pilots for flying a commercial airliner while under the influence of alcohol.

Full of excuses
Revisado: 04-04-17
Eight hours of excuses from the biggest "victim" of the whole fiasco. Several parts of the story are so absurd it's laughable. The narration sucks, too. Guy can't even tell his own story.

Tim Richmond was, fellow NASCAR driver Kyle Petty said, "a stranger in time." In one regard, the flashy, flamboyant driver from Ashland, Ohio, was years ahead of the trends in a sport that would soon enjoy explosive growth in popularity. Women who were NASCAR fans loved him - and so did their husbands and boyfriends.

Narrator Sucks
Revisado: 12-20-16
This is a great book for a NASCAR or auto racing fan, but you must really be a BIG fan in order to tolerate the narration for the duration of the book. Sounds like a computer generated female voice, but worse. If you happen to be driving while listening to this book, you could easily mistake it for your navigation system and wind up completely lost.

From burglary to armed robbery and murder, infamous bad guy Frank Cullotta not only did it all, in Cullotta he admits to it - and in graphic detail. This no-holds-barred biography chronicles the life of a career criminal who started out as a thug on the streets of Chicago and became a trusted lieutenant in Tony Spilotro's gang of organized lawbreakers in Las Vegas. Cullotta's was a world of high-profile heists, street muscle, and information - lots of it - about many of the FBI's most wanted.

Great story, silly narrator
Revisado: 04-20-15
Would you consider the audio edition of Cullotta to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version
Any additional comments?
The narrator does a good job when speaking in his own voice, but when he tries to impersonate the various mob characters it gets pretty silly. He makes Tony "The Ant" Spilotro sound like a cartoon character. I almost stopped the program the first time I heard him do it. If the content hadn't been so good I might have returned it for a refund.
