Before John Glenn orbited the Earth or Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of dedicated female mathematicians known as "human computers" used pencils, slide rules, and adding machines to calculate the numbers that would launch rockets and astronauts into space. Among these problem solvers were a group of exceptionally talented African American women, some of the brightest minds of their generation.

Perhaps the movie is better

Sadly, I felt this book was dull. Although I appreciate the accomplishments of these extraordinary woman, their stories are told in a way that it just provides the facts and only the facts. Not necessarily their personal experiences....did the author bother to interview these women I wonder?

Mourning the death of his father and gravely injured at the hands of the English, Jamie Fraser finds himself running with a band of mercenaries in the French countryside, where he reconnects with his old friend, Ian Murray. Both are nursing wounds, both have good reason to stay out of Scotland, and both are still virgins despite several opportunities to remedy that deplorable situation with ladies of easy virtue.

The reader makes Jaime sound like a grunting Neanderthal. The story was ok, but lacking something. Perhaps it was just the reader. He really didn't seem to capture Jaime well at all.

PB Bunny Cat fights and vain female drama..BORING!
Revisado: 07-14-15
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I guess I had higher hopes for this story, but it was just overall BORING!
What was most disappointing about Holly Madison’s story?
She said, she said, I'm sure Huf is just a delightful dirty old man. However, I tend to wonder why any woman young or otherwise worth her weight in salt would be attracted to him if it wasn't for money or a promise of a centerfold. Leopard's aren't known for changing their spoils, why would Hugh Hefner? I'm mean seriously!
Would you be willing to try another one of Holly Madison’s performances?
Blah!
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Sad and disappointing!

New Orleans, 1900: Mary Deubler makes a meager living as an "alley whore". That all changes when bible-thumping Alderman Sidney Story forces the creation of a red-light district that’s mockingly dubbed "Storyville". Mary believes there’s no place for a lowly girl like her in the high-class bordellos of Storyville’s Basin Street, where Champagne flows and beautiful girls turn tricks in luxurious bedrooms. But with gumption, twists of fate, even a touch of Voodoo, Mary rises above her hopeless lot to become the notorious Madame Josie Arlington.

So predictable
Revisado: 06-27-15
Would you try another book from Cari Lynn and Kellie Martin and/or Hillary Huber?
Nope
What could Cari Lynn and Kellie Martin have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
This book was sooooooo predictable it was beyond boring.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator was fine.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Madam?
SO many!
Any additional comments?
I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone unless they have a bunch of hours to waste on the most predictable book ever.
