A book in Desperate need of an Editor

Revisado: 11-09-22

This is meandering story that should be 1/2 or 1/3 as long as it is. Spends way too much time outlining the private lives of way too many characters in the story.

I wanted the story of people actually working on fighting ransomware not their mothers & sisters, or why they are fighting cybercrime while living in a trailer park in Central IL.

All I hoped it would be

Revisado: 06-03-19

I enjoyed watching Adam Savage on MythBusters. In this book he reveals how he works and what makes him tick.

He holds nothing back, sharing all of his insights about being a maker and artist.

I call myself an industrialist. In a small way I am a industrial version of Adam, without the sculpting abilities.

All in all a fascinating listen, especially the doctors bags…

Coleman Luck calls it like he sees it.

This is a book evangelicals really need to listen to.

I came into this with my guard up expecting revisionist nonsense, but I was delighted to find that I heartily agree with his assessment of the evangelical church and the political landscape. And I think he is very right about the church not doing well when it has political power because Jesus never meant for us to share power, and doing so only weakens the church. I've said for years that the worst thing that happened to the early church what is the rule of Constantine. One more case of those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. Bad news is we're living through that.

This is an important but brief work. Very worthy of a listen. I own over 1000 titles in audible, and I am not usually a fan of authors writing their own work, Coleman is an exception to this. He doesn't excellent job.

We've Got Another Scientist Who Writes Great Fiction

Revisado: 10-25-15

Take Andromeda strain, Apollo 13 and Animal House, put it in the blender and you'll understand Andy Weir's writing style pretty well. Accurate, crass, funny and nerdy all at the same time. I look forward to his next weekend effort with great anticipation. RC Bray may be my new favorite reader, too!

A huge story well read

Revisado: 05-14-15

The Wright brothers lived what the steam punk culture aspires to resurrect. Their methodical years long pursuit of flight when others considered them dreamers is told clearly and concisely by an eminent historian at the top of his game, drawing on their considerable documentation of every aspect of their work.

David McCullough's voice at at times betrays his 81 years, but his strong prose more than makes up for the passing of the years. He gives well read a whole new dimension.

No Willing Suspsension of DIsbelief Required!

Revisado: 01-02-11

Truly a wonderful story of heroism, grinding deprivation, loss of humanity and redemption, balanced against psychopathic evil and hard heartedness to the bitter end. Reads like fiction, yet an AMAZING TRUE STORY, well told by Laura Hillenbrand. I just finished listening to it. It's narrated by one of my favorite narrators, Edward Hermann. Hillenbrand is a great historical writer in the vein of Stephen Ambrose. I hope she continues to build her awe-inspiring body of work.

I loved "Seabiscuit", but was bowled over by "Unbroken". I love history and own many history titles at Audible. Laura Hillenbrand is my new favorite author. The way she handles his story with respect, openness, and three dimensional detail left me clicking on the buttons to play this again immediately, so that I can immerse myself in this literary tapestry and glean more from it.

What a Snoozer

Revisado: 12-04-08

I really like the Odd Thomas books, so I was looking forward to a great book. Not so. The book really drags and involves too much navel gazing by an unbelievable character. I can't recommend it.

What A Country

If this "professor" lived in Iran & made a speech like this about Iran, he would be dead now. Lucky for him we are a country which tolerates all views, even ones that we find repellent.
