Loved this. Loved that it was read by the author. Loved his journey from a printers son to a roller coaster designer. As I want to do the same thing in my life career wise, this sort of personal journey is invaluable

The most nitty gritty awesome imagineering book out there
Revisado: 12-16-24
Thank you for writing this book! As an inspiring theme park operator I’ve read as many imagineering books as I can get my hands on. While they have been great this one has been the most helpful in helping me understand the true scope and cost of becoming an imagineer. I love that you took the time to narrate it yourself as it made me feel like I was getting the story from you and not an in between. I love the story of growth as you went from challenge to challenge throughout your career. The biggest lesson I learned is that I need to learn to work with talented people and foster creativity and that great things take time. It dosnt take one person, it takes many.

Historia
Brunelleschi's Dome is the story of how a Renaissance genius bent men, materials, and the very forces of nature to build an architectural wonder we continue to marvel at today. Denounced at first as a madman, Brunelleschi was celebrated at the end as a genius. He engineered the perfect placement of brick and stone, built ingenious hoists and cranes to carry an estimated 70 million pounds hundreds of feet into the air, and designed the workers' platforms and routines so carefully that only one man died during the decades of construction.

What a great book, the detail was incredible about the working days of stone masons, or the materials used and the different kind of stone and rock used, it was a Rick story made for architects or people who love historical detail.

Historia
There are many books for learning Chinese. There are books that can teach you survival phrases or the first 300 characters, but I have yet to come across a book that teaches you everything you need to know to master the language through self-study. I know this because I bought so many Chinese learning books years ago, and while some were a bit helpful for starting out, none of them taught me step by step what I needed to do to truly master the language. The HSK books by the Confucius Institute are phenomenal and I am a big fan of them, but even they do not tell you HOW to study... Many ...

Apperently the Pinyan (romanized Chinese words) for Ben means stupid. I just learned this in this book. Great story and info. The virtual voice is terrible though. Can’t pronounce Chinese words. Now I have an American computer accent lol

Historia
Tom Felton’s adolescence was anything but ordinary. His early rise to fame in beloved films like The Borrowers catapulted him into the limelight, but nothing could prepare him for what was to come after he landed the iconic role of the Draco Malfoy, the bleached blonde villain of the Harry Potter movies. For the next ten years, he was at the center of a huge pop culture phenomenon and yet, in between filming, he would go back to being a normal teenager trying to fit into a normal school. Speaking with great candor and his signature humor, Tom shares his experience.

This book is rad! I loved listening to it with Tom as the narrator, it’s like he’s telling you his own story. It’s authentic, detailed, and down to earth. He’s so personable he feels like a good mate as he’s retelling his adventures as Draco Malloy, growing up in the UK in the 90’s and his own journey of self discovery in cali when he learned what it means to live a rich life. Thanks for the read Tom!

Historia
While writers might disagree over showing versus telling or plotting versus pantsing, none would argue this: If you want to write strong fiction, you must make your readers feel. The reader's experience must be an emotional journey of its own, one as involving as your characters' struggles, discoveries, and triumphs are for you. That's where The Emotional Craft of Fiction comes in. Veteran literary agent and expert fiction instructor Donald Maass shows you how to use story to provoke a visceral and emotional experience in readers.

Revisado: 02-04-24
I ended up deleting this book after it went into a child sex scene. There was a warning before but I was commuting and struggled to shut it off. I’m not a sensitive person and I’ll arch rated R stuff whenever, but this was pretty bad. It’s a book about inspiring emotions in readers and it goes into detail about the emotional destruction and sick perversion of a child predictor. Man, I just want to write fantasy stories about elves, not visit the mind of Walter madlo. Besides, the rest was boring and only played one emotional note which was screaming and crying without reprise. Good book if you are into melodrama.

Should be called the basic Instagram guide from 2014
Revisado: 02-04-24
Much of this information in out of date and its so basic it kills me. If you don’t know how to upload pictures, know what a hashtag is, or use filters this book is great, but it’s far less than “ultimate.” Exactly how you gain thousands of followers and build a platform continues to be real ultimate mystery. #PureShovelWare
