Jack Aubrey

Solid book

Revisado: 08-30-24

Interesting story and personal account. Not sure he’s covering any new ground or insight. When he gets into discussion about quantum mechanics it got more interesting.

Really dry

Revisado: 02-24-24

I usually really like books like this. I read several dozen with similar concepts. The author, while covering interesting content, is quite dull in the delivery.

One of the best GE extended universe books

Revisado: 09-21-21

I’ve read all the GE books and most of the supplementary books and series. I just re-listened and liked it even more the 2nd time.

I’m a huge fan of RC Bray and HATE when a narrator is changed but Lang is exceptional.

For those looking for a lot of back story on Rechs and Goth Sullus this is the book.

Narration is HORRIBLE... story a solid 3/5

Revisado: 07-15-21

I loved the first 5 parts of the series (10 or 11 books in total) but this book seemed to be written by different authors and the narration was absolutely abominable. I almost didn't finish the book because the narration was so grading. The story had hints of intrigue and plot reversals but nothing on the level of GE season 1. I hope they bring back RC Bray and a stronger story.

Great resource for those suffering or those caring for those suffering from Alzheimer’s or Dementia

Revisado: 08-18-20

This book is an amazing look at how best to deal with complex chronic disease. So much of our current approach is based on one treatment and one approach. It turns out humans are complex and many of the complex diseases and conditions we face require a multifaceted approach.

I hope people read this and follow the advice. As someone in the late 40s but noticing brain fog and general memory lapse I was terrified as to my future prospects. My grandmother spend 14 with Alzheimer’s and died a shell of her former self and and father has been able to reverse many of his symptoms based on a multifaceted approach (food, sleep, stress management, BHRT, and exercise). He’s almost 80 and doing extremely well.

This book is a great addition to tools we need to overcome this plague.

I wanted to love this book...

Revisado: 06-10-16

The idea of grit is fascinating and one I think is generally undervalued. While this book was good, it was not great. I read about a book a week and there are certainly better books out there. My main issue is the book contained a lot of personal experiences with little hard research. Perhaps there isn't a lot of data out there but again the content could have been more compelling.

A must read (or listen)

Revisado: 06-05-16

This is a comprehensive look at war and how it affects all sides. Many parts are hard to get through but it's important for us as a national to know what our actions do on a personal level.

It's certainly worth the time and is a unique view into how wars are really fought and won or lost.

Great book for anyone interested in neurological conditions...PD, TBI, Alzheimer's, autism, etc

Revisado: 07-20-15

I really enjoyed this book. It's worth the read. You don't need to read the brain that changes itself first. But it helps.

I'm generally not a fan of business books, but...

Revisado: 01-11-15

This one is an exception. It is a quick read/listen (as I knocked it out on a flight to Asia), and many of the concepts are spot on. For anyone building a business or trying to make their business better, this is a great resource.

After reading it, and digesting many of the concepts, I've assigned it as mandatory reading for my staff and recommend it highly to my business partners. Had I read this years ago during my first start-up, I possibly would have avoided many costly errors and mistakes. In the end not having NISI as a resource to reference probably cost me and my initial investors several million dollars.

I'd highly recommend you pick up a copy.

Best RN Series since Jack Aubrey and Hornblower

Revisado: 06-23-14

Russell is a very good story teller and the story is strong. It's the best Royal Navy series outside of Master and Commander and the Hornblower books. The three books available on Audible are worth the download and the narration is top notch.
