While investigating a fairly straightforward case of a shape-shifting interdimensional child predator, Dave, John, and Amy realized there might actually be something weird going on. Together, they navigate a diabolically convoluted maze of illusions, lies, and their own incompetence in an attempt to uncover a terrible truth they - like you - would be better off not knowing.

What made the experience of listening to Building a Better Vocabulary the most enjoyable?
All joking aside this was better than I expected. Only caveat is that it is hard to listen to more than one chapter in a row because it asks that you do some memorizing.

Across America a mysterious disease is turning ordinary people into raving, paranoid murderers who inflict brutal horrors on strangers, themselves, and even their own families. Working under the government’s shroud of secrecy, CIA operative Dew Phillips crisscrosses the country trying in vain to capture a live victim.

What disappointed you about Infected?
The story and dialog read like a bad straight to DVD movie. I'm not a highbrow reader, but I couldn't get get through this one.

Final Destination: Disaster informs the public, for the very first time, of what actually precipitated the controversial sale of Eastern Airlines - at one time the second largest airline in the free world - to Frank Lorenzo's Texas Air Corporation, which led to its certain demise. This unbelievable story is written by an 18-year veteran Eastern pilot who was intimately involved in many aspects of the tumultuous events that culminated in the sale.

Rambling personal account of working at Eastern
Revisado: 04-22-17
What would have made Final Destination: Disaster better?
Reads more like a listening to a disgruntled employee at the bar. To many personal details, mostly about personalities that would only be interesting if you knew who the people were. Primary focus is on contract negotiations. There was a whole chapter about preparing to write a letter and I think that sums up this book...

What made the experience of listening to The Circle the most enjoyable?
Many holes in the story, but still fun
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Assumed it was going to lead to a sequal, but where no sequal. I can see how this would leave people feeling that the story is unfinished

Imagine a chimpanzee rampaging through a data center powering everything from Google to Facebook. Infrastructure engineers use a software version of this "chaos monkey" to test online services' robustness - their ability to survive random failure and correct mistakes before they actually occur. Tech entrepreneurs are society's chaos monkeys, disruptors testing and transforming every aspect of our lives from transportation (Uber) and lodging (AirBnB) to television (Netflix) and dating (Tinder).

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Having a CV working at a start-up, Twitter and Facebook sounds promising, but reads like the story of a guy who worked in middle management always on the outside looking in; unnecessarily technical, self-serving and anti-climatic. Must be better reads on this subject matter.

It was just another day on the job for 53-year-old Richard Phillips, captain of the Maersk Alabama, a United States-flagged cargo ship that was carrying, among other things, food and agricultural materials for the World Food Program. That all changed when armed Somali pirates boarded the ship.

Okay story, could have been great
Revisado: 09-26-13
Would you try another book from Richard Phillips and Stephan Talty and/or George K. Wilson?
I read A Perfect Storm right before listening to this and the two can't compare. This book could have been fascinating with better research and story telling. The book is still okay because it was such a crazy situation, unfortunately the storytelling was mediocre and really no background research was done to give substance to the shipping industry, pirates, military, etc.
