U.S. Representative Adam Smith was successful by all measures, with a long, distinguished career in Congress and a loving marriage with children. Yet seemingly out of nowhere, his body and mind broke down to the point where every day was a relentless struggle to just keep moving. It’s a struggle millions of Americans know all too well. Would he be able to meet his responsibilities as a husband and father? Could he still maintain his breakneck professional schedule and continue to do his job well? He soon realized he couldn’t will himself well—he needed help.

A brave account of a journey to heal
Revisado: 01-03-24
For a man in such a prominent public position to candidly recount very personal physical and mental health issues, as well as to openly discuss some of the failings of the US health system, is a gift to readers. Adam Smith’s career and reputation could be in peril by his candor. I consider him very brave to reveal his illnesses, and how he struggled to cope. By writing this book he made a choice to hopefully help others, that is to serve the greater good. His story is well-told. I enjoyed listening.

When Browder’s young Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was beaten to death in a Moscow jail in 2009, Browder cast aside his business career and made it his life’s mission to pursue justice for Sergei. One of the first steps of that mission was to uncover who had killed Sergei and profited from the $230 million corruption scheme that he had exposed. As Browder and his team tracked the money that flowed out of Russia—through the Baltics and Cyprus and on to Western Europe and the Americas—they discovered that Vladimir Putin himself was one of the beneficiaries of the crime.

Red Notice Part II —- The Empire Struck Out

- De: Bill Browder

Chilling, fascinating, powerful
Revisado: 04-19-22
Browder’s timely sequel to Red Notice is written with brutal honesty, uncovering sinister and illegal elements of many governments, particularly Purim’s Russia. Sadly some Americans are on this list; fortunately most are not. This non-fiction work is an audio “page turner.” Adam Grupper’s narration is flawless. I admire Browder’s tenacity and courage. I strongly recommend this book.

"I’m James Taylor and I’m a professional autobiographer", says the celebrated folk singer at the start of this tender audio memoir. Through decades of music by one of the best-selling musicians of all time, who created classics like "Fire and Rain" and "Carolina in My Mind", James Taylor has doled out his history in the poetry of his work. Taylor says his early life is, "the source of many of my songs", and Break Shot is a tour of his first 21 years in rich, new detail.

Poignant, honest, emotional

We liked the whole thing! Wish it went to 42 years, and beyond. Taylor writes as he sings; he leaves nothing on the table. It’s been a treat and an honor to listen to Break Shot. Highly recommend.

Engrossing, but lacks character depth.
Revisado: 02-11-13
I did enjoy a glimpse of a secret government world, and feeling a part of the inner workings of Washington D.C. That being said, I expected more; I'm still wondering why I should care about the characters. Although I met some of them in an earlier Meltzer novel, they are still underdeveloped.
I was engaged in the story, certainly, but disappointed that there wasn't more depth. Consider this a good vacation read; entertaining, slightly informative regarding government history, and an escape from our non-espionage lives.
Narrator Scott Brick comes through, as always, with a stellar performance.

Beth Morehouse expects this Christmas to be one of her best. Her small Christmas-tree farm is prospering, her daughters and her dogs are happy and well, and her new relationship with local vet Ted Reynolds is showing plenty of romantic promise. But... someone recently left a basket filled with puppies on her doorstep, puppies she’s determined to place in good homes. That’s complication number one. And number two is that her daughters Bailey and Sophie have invited their dad, Beth’s ex-husband, Kent, to Cedar Cove for Christmas.

Story line weaker than most of Macomber's
Revisado: 01-17-12
I enjoy Debbie Macomber's books, including the Cedar Cove series. This final book of the series lost a little oomph compared to the others. Story lines seemed contrived and more 1940-ish than 21st century. If you've kept up the the series it's worth it to finish them off with this book, however it is not up to Ms. Macomber's usual standards.
Ms. Burr's narration is excellent.
