Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 122
I was, in life, to be a gambler, a risk-taker, a swashbuckler, a knight. I accepted, then and there, my place in the world. I was a fighter of windmills. I was a chaser of whales. I was Not Sidney Poitier. Not Sidney Poitier is an amiable young man in an absurd country. The sudden death of his mother orphans him at age eleven, leaving him with an unfortunate name, an uncanny resemblance to the famous actor, and, perhaps more fortunate, a staggering number of shares in the Turner Broadcasting Corporation.

The Voices

The difference in vocal performances of characters was really entertaining. It made the story flow and brought the characters to life.

Most of what you think you know about writing is useless. It's the harmful debris of your education - a mixture of half-truths, myths, and false assumptions that prevents you from writing well. Drawing on years of experience as a writer and teacher of writing, Verlyn Klinkenborg offers an approach to writing that will change the way you work and think. There is no gospel, no orthodoxy, no dogma in this book. What you'll find here isn't the way to write. Instead, you'll find a way to clear your mind of illusions about writing and discover how you write.

Good time learning sentence structure
Revisado: 09-29-22
This is a pretty good read. The guy‘s voice was a little monotone and didn’t have the tone that would have made this more exciting but listening to him was great. He knows what he’s talking about and he provided many examples to show you that there are specific ways to write in specific ways not to write. So if you have a moment, enjoy this audio book.

Today, most doctors, dietitians, and even diabetes specialists consider type 2 diabetes to be a chronic and progressive disease - a life sentence with no possibility of parole. But the truth, as Dr. Fung reveals in this paradigm-shifting book, is that type 2 diabetes is reversible. Writing with clear, persuasive language, he explains why conventional treatments that rely on insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering drugs can actually exacerbate the problem, leading to significant weight gain and even heart disease.

Life Changing
Revisado: 06-05-21
I really enjoyed this book. Having been a diabetic for over a decade, it confirmed for me what I already believed, but that my doctor counseled me against: that type 2 diabetes was linked to diet and that insulin was bad for you. Having implemented the suggestions given in this book, my blood sugar levels have dropped and I feel much better. Not to mention that as of this writing I have lost 17lbs naturally.
I appreciate this book in that it changed my health and my life and encourage other to read it and put into practice it’s suggestions.

A Great Listening Experience
Revisado: 08-22-20
This was a fantastic book about love, relationships and the decisions we make in the pursuit of that forever with someone. The insights gained vicariously from the relationship experiences presented give deep insights about what healthy and unhealthy relationships are and the role we play in attaining them.
Please, take a moment of your life and swallow this experience down. You will find it does the body and the mind good.

Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now Simon is actually being blackmailed: If he doesn't play wingman for class clown Martin, his sexual identity will become everyone's business. Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he's been emailing with, will be compromised.

A good book of love.
Revisado: 12-26-19
Really enjoyed this book. The presentation was believable and I really enjoyed the character and plot development. It is not just for teens (of which I am not one) it is for all of those who truly adhere to the believe that love stories come in many forms.
So, grab some coffee, a scone or a croissant, lean back in a chair or a couch or where ever you have the opportunity and enjoy this book.

Did you know that most of our dinosaur fossils were discovered because two grown men absolutely hated each other? It’s true! Rivals! Frenemies Who Changed the World is a riotous audio exclusive, like if Monty Python taught your history class. Each volume of four 30-minute histories will dig into the petty name-calling and grumbling grudges that led to many of the world’s greatest advancements, all delivered with a cheeky sense of humor. Choose sides: Cope or Marsh, the jerks who discovered so many dinosaurs; Hamilton or Burr, whose rivalry fueled American politics; and many more....

Very Good
Revisado: 09-01-19
Normally, when I see a book like this I have very little interest in reading it. But I was pleasantly surprised at how interesting this book was about its subjects. I was entertained by its presentation and inspired to discover more about the people covered. I so enjoyed this first book that I purchased the second.
I would truly recommend this book be added to any list for listening. If you are looking for an interesting telling of famous figures in conflict on your way home or on a short trip, this would be a superb choice.
