Historia
More than a century ago, the new Bolshevik government began sending Soviet citizens abroad as deep-cover spies, training them to pose as foreign aristocrats, merchants, and students. Over time, this grew into the most ambitious espionage program in history. Many intelligence agencies use undercover operatives, but the KGB was the only one to go to such lengths, spending years training its spies in language and etiquette, and sending them abroad on missions that could last for decades. These spies were known as “illegals.”

Thrilling history
Revisado: 04-26-25
This book surveys the last century of so of personal espionage (by which I mean effected at a human level). It is much more than the illegals, and I found it very compelling. Highly recommend.

Not for audible if you ask me
Revisado: 01-09-25
This was recommended as a great audible, however, like many other fragmented tales it is not. It is many individual stories that are very difficult to keep track of. Instead of a coherent plot the author put together many pieces which don’t add up. Note: I abandoned the book 2/3 of the way through, too frustrated to continue.

Historia
For seventeen years, small-town public defender Andy Hughes has been underpaid to look after the poor, the addicted, and the unfortunate souls who constantly cycle through the courts, charged with petty crimes. Then, in the summer of 2020, he’s assigned to a grotesque murder case that brings national media focus to rural Patrick County, Virginia—Alicia Benson, the wife of a wealthy businessman, is murdered in her home. The accused killer, Damian Bullins, is a cunning felon with a long history of violence, and he confesses to the police.

Hard pass. Did author use a checklist?
Revisado: 08-26-24
I can’t believe I was taken in by the hype about this book. It felt as tho it was written by AI using a checklist. Not one subject was fleshed out in an interesting way. Such a disappointment! I feel like an idiot for finishing it!

A bit of a mess but I hung in there. Dated and/or unrealistic plot points didn’t stop me listening. I kind of got into the characters, and the Very good narration was my reason for finishing it.

Historia
For years as an award-winning war reporter, Sebastian Junger traveled to many front lines and frequently put his life at risk. And yet, the closest he ever came to death was the summer of 2020 while spending a quiet afternoon at the New England home he shared with his wife and two young children. Crippled by abdominal pain, Junger was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Once there, he began slipping away. As blackness encroached, he was visited by his dead father, inviting Junger to join him.

Historia
The once idyllic coastal plain of North Carolina is home to a close-knit, rural community that for more than a generation has battled the polluting practices of large-scale farming taking place in its own backyard. After years of frustration and futility, an impassioned cadre of local residents, led by a team of intrepid and dedicated lawyers, filed a lawsuit against one of the world’s most powerful companies—and, miraculously, they won. Wastelands takes us into a legal battle over the future of America’s farmland and the lives of the people who found the courage to fight.

Stop eating animals

Listening to this made me want to never eat pork again. The immoral pig companies sacrificing everything—everything!— for filthy lucre. And the fierce fighters who fought them. Great story, very well narrated.

Jaws is the classic blockbuster thriller that inspired the three-time Academy Award-winning Steven Spielberg movie and made millions of beachgoers afraid to go into the water. Experience the thrill of helpless horror again—or for the first time!

The original jaws
Revisado: 07-13-24
I really enjoyed the beginning and I really enjoyed the end in the middle There was a lot of stuff that could’ve been edited out. I never saw the movie because I lived on Cape Cod and I was too afraid. Now there are lots of sharks off cape cod! For decades I’ve I lived in California — seen or as but they weren’t killing humans!
I enjoyed the audio book very much. Great narrator even tho he doesnt know east coast shore pronunciations.—no big deal, he had the time and energy right.

Historia
When Andrew McCarthy's eldest son began to take his first steps into adulthood, McCarthy found himself wishing time would slow down. Looking to create a more meaningful connection with Sam before he fled the nest, as well as recreate his own life-altering journey decades before, McCarthy decided the two of them should set out on a trek like few others: 500 miles across Spain's Camino de Santiago. Over the course of the journey, the pair traversed an unforgiving landscape, having more honest conversations in five weeks than they'd had in the preceding two decades.

In this case, what happens in the Camino should stay in the Camino. I Gave up after the bratty kid made his umpteenth obnoxious and ungrateful remark. Why was this book written except to throw the kid under the bus? At the same time I wondered how the kid lived so long! (he was that much of a little sh*t, as my grandmother would say.) Giving guys named Sam a bad name! I’m getting a refund.
