When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.

The Most Interesting Man in the World
Revisado: 10-07-23
Elon Musk the book is outstanding. It is neither a hagiography nor a polemic, and the narrator was a perfect choice. As for Elon Musk the man, after learning much more about him I don’t like him more, or less; I don’t respect him more, or less, but I now understand him much more. He may be the most complex, enigmatic human being of the 20th and 21st centuries and the book does the best possible job of both describing and explaining him.

Good Biography, Poor Narration
Revisado: 09-16-23
The biography of Bragg is balanced, seemingly complete, and refreshingly devoid of the typical bias. The narration, however, is, to me, almost unbearable. The overdone southern accent of quotes of male characters is bad enough; the accent of female quotes (mostly Mrs. Bragg) is almost comical. I’m halfway through the audiobook and will finish the book with a print version.

Since its publication in 1960, William L. Shirer’s monumental study of Hitler’s German empire has been widely acclaimed as the definitive record of the 20th century’s blackest hours. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich offers an unparalleled and thrillingly told examination of how Adolf Hitler nearly succeeded in conquering the world. With millions of copies in print around the globe, it has attained the status of a vital and enduring classic.

Outstanding
Revisado: 09-10-23
As a published nonfiction military history author, I cannot praise William Shirer’s iconic book high enough. Also, Grover Gardner’s narration is a perfect companion to Shirer’s material and style.
