This is an interesting story, very well written and told by a man exploring the limits of his skill and passion by delving into the world of tournament chess. It's an entertaining incite into that world which is filled with interesting characters and few surprises as the author learns what it takes to be great.

Entertaining and informative, I really enjoyed this book. I've always been a fan of Franken's comedy and it turns out he's also a very good person. Well done.

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The author is very funny and his life story is very interesting. Russian immigrant, challenging, quirky parents(ultimately loving), dealing with American kids as both a Jewish person and from a country which most Americans despised at the time of the author's arrival. The narrator was excellent, very good with Russian accents, a very good fit with the author's words. Well done!

This book covers a lot of ground during what was an interesting time in US history. Bryson explores a lot of topics including, politics, sports, aviation, automobiles, media, finance, crime, and includes a colorful cast of characters that highlight the many interesting stories within this book. As usual with Bryson his prose never fails to both inform and entertain.

Good choice for someone who wants a concise explanation of many of the big topics in biology, geology, chemistry, astronomy, and anthropology. Entertaining prose and excellent narration.

I liked this audiobook very much. The author has lived a very interesting, very searching life. He has traveled extensively, has met many interesting people and been exposed to fascinating cultures. I enjoyed the author's prose and being a former surfer(and former reader of surfing books/magazines) was pleasantly surprised by his humorous, thoughtful and refined form of expression, very unusual in the surfing universe by my experience. The book gets very descriptive when the author discusses waves and surfing breaks and clearly that is largely the point of the book but I would argue there's too much detail on those specific topics at times. Then again, I think most nonfiction books go into too much detail. The author's observations on people, culture, politics, family, career, and location far exceed anything negative I have to offer. Well done, Mr. Finnegan.

Any additional comments?

This was an excellent story and Kate Winslet told it perfectly. She used many voices and it was so entertaining for my kids(age 7 and 9).
