Historia
Hall of Fame football coach Jimmy Johnson’s house isn’t on the way to anything. Yet, his private sanctuary on the Florida Keys’ Islamorada islands is a popular destination to which college and professional coaches, general managers, and team owners regularly trek to seek advice—how to build a positive team culture, draft elite players, balance work and family life, and lead a team to win. Why? Because Jimmy Johnson has done it all. Now, written with sports journalist Dave Hyde, Johnson shares a candid account of his life experiences that have turned him into a legend in the coaching world.

Historia

He decides to find out. And find the woman. And return her ring. Why not?

Dick Hill ruins the book
Revisado: 11-26-17
Dick Hill is terrible and his reading makes listening to Reacher books so disappointing. When reading a book we visualize the characters and Jack Reacher is visualized as a young Clint Eastwood type . Hill makes him into an arrogant almost slow witted egotist. This isn’t what has made him such a popular fiction character for Child. Child certainly can’t like this crappy reading by Hill and I won’t listen to anymore of his books read by this guy.l

a draw out tale ..way too drawn out
Revisado: 11-01-15
The narrator should read the book and not interject his whinning and drama..he makes the main character sound like his is starting to cry all the time...the book is shallow and drawn out..not a good listen..at times it was almost comical in its efforts to be dramatic and serious

Historia
A young woman's body is found on a side street in Indianapolis, horrifyingly arranged. Meanwhile Frank Behr, who is down on his luck and virtually broke, takes on a no-win case to locate a single mother's wayward daughter who's been missing for months. Suddenly Behr feels the two cases may be connected, but he is years removed from his life as a legitimate police officer and has few friends left on the force. His relentless focus has always been his greatest strength...and his deepest flaw.

not a read for a weak stomach
Revisado: 11-01-15
The gratuitous use of butchery in the course of murdering the women was unnecessary. Way too much detail about the murders..more of a horror book than a mystery..

hard to follow the reader

the reader didn't change the tone from female to male which made following who was talking difficult Should have used a male voice for the male parts and it would have been so much better..a good story and good book.

Historia
On the streets of Washington, D.C., a brilliant scientist, the brains behind a revolutionary fighter aircraft prototype in development by the Pentagon, is snatched by masked thugs and disappears. Now five years later, an elderly professor at Cambridge University has been murdered, a victim of bizarre, ancient Chinese torture. Alex Hawke teams up with Scotland Yard former Chief Inspector Ambrose Congreve to find the killer, but this death is merely the opening gambit in a tense and lethal game of geopolitical brinksmanship.

British accent

The British accent was terrible and ruined the book..the hero comes across as too stuffy and almost feminine. Which is not the case when reading Ted Bells books

Historia
World War I stands as one of history's most senseless spasms of carnage, defying rational explanation. In a riveting, suspenseful narrative with haunting echoes for our own time, Adam Hochschild brings it to life as never before. He focuses on the long-ignored moral drama of the war's critics, alongside its generals and heroes. Thrown in jail for their opposition to the war were Britain's leading investigative journalist, a future winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, and an editor who, behind bars, published a newspaper for his fellow inmates on toilet paper.

terrific
Revisado: 05-27-12
The only regret I have is that I waited untilI I was 62 to learn about and listen to this book about WW1...both my grandfathers fought on the Western front and I would love to be able to talk to them and ask questions...but as is the way of youth I was too concerned with other things than to take advantage of my grandfathers experiences and knowledge. It does make the US flag I have from ones funeral a little more special.
I am going to Holland and Belgium in July and plan a day to go by Passchendaele and Ypes and visit the memorials and fields...
Wether you are a history buff or just soomeone with a passing interest as I was...it is a great book..and as an audio book done exceedingly well.

Historia
Rick Reilly has been a senior sports writer for Sports Illustrated for the past 17 years, and has been named "Sports Writer of The Year" seven times. Now, he pokes his nose into the world of golf. How does he do it? By caddying ("looping") for top players, celebrities, and some really bad run-of-the-mill golfers, Reilly gains insight into the minds of golfers, their winning or less-than-winning ways, and what they actually mutter when they're in the middle of play.

Historia
One of the most popular Fortune articles in many years was a cover story called "What It Takes to Be Great." Geoff Colvin offered new evidence that top performers in any field - from Tiger Woods and Winston Churchill to Warren Buffett and Jack Welch - are not determined by their inborn talents. Greatness doesn't come from DNA but from practice and perseverance honed over decades.

not what I had expected
Revisado: 11-29-11
It was good in that it provided food for thought, but I was a little dissapointed at how often Harvard and other prominent business schools were referenced as points of esteem. Also thought it bogged down a little and could have been half as long with the same substance.
Good historical writing about backgrounds and development of talent in different individuals.
Worth the read, but a little long for the premise.

Better than expected
Revisado: 11-29-11
Not being a Bush fan as president and thinking he was probably not the brightest president we have had, this book was enlightening. I was surprised at how little I actiually knew about Bush and had forgotten the magnituide of the problems he had to deal with as president.
The book was good and Bush's reading was also well done. I think more highly of him after hearing his side of things.
From both a historical perspective and a better insight into what we are dealing with today it was worth the expense and time.
