Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 33
It's a story that weaves its way behind closed doors to reveal intricate machinations normally hidden from public view. Backed by extensive reporting and hundreds of interviews with top players, coaches, and executives, Jake Fischer chronicles secret pre-draft workouts, feuding between player agents and executives, surprising trade negotiations, interpersonal conflict within rosters, organizational power struggles, and the missteps behind infamous public relations fiascos, making for a fascinating and unmissable insider's look at the NBA.

Reader very distracting
Revisado: 07-25-21
The reader has a way of constantly ending sentences—a tone that sort of conveys boredom—that is extremely distracting. It’s over and over every sentence and really annoying.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 116
The year is 1919. The horror of the First World War is fresh for the protagonists of Time of the Magicians, each of whom finds himself at a crucial juncture. Benjamin is trying to flee his overbearing father and floundering in his academic career, living hand to mouth as a critic. Wittgenstein, by contrast, has dramatically decided to divest himself of the monumental fortune he stands to inherit, in search of spiritual clarity.

Voice hard to understand
Revisado: 09-22-20
The reader of this book is very hard to understand. His voice is very deep and muffled. It’s sort of sounds like James Earl Jones but speaking with his hand tightly covering his mouth.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 13
For two hundred years, the constitutionality of capital punishment had been axiomatic. But in 1962, Justice Arthur Goldberg and his clerk Alan Dershowitz dared to suggest otherwise, launching an underfunded band of civil rights attorneys on a quixotic crusade. In 1972, in a most unlikely victory, the Supreme Court struck down Georgia’s death penalty law in Furman v. Georgia.

Good book, problematic narration
Revisado: 09-03-17
I'm enjoying the book itself, in particular the way the Justices come alive as very real and very flawed people. The narration, however, is problematic. The narrator sometimes reads the wrong word. For example, on multiple occasions, he reads the word "agreement," when it should be "argument." He refers, for example, to "procedural agreements" against the death penalty, which makes no sense. It's frustrating.
