Historia4 out of 5 stars 205
In 1929, Edwin Hubble announced the greatest discovery in the history of astronomy since Galileo first turned a telescope to the heavens. The galaxies, previously believed to float serenely in the void, are in fact hurtling apart at an incredible speed: the universe is expanding. This stunning discovery was the culmination of a decades-long arc of scientific and technical advancement.

Horrible voice
Revisado: 05-24-16
The narrator was painful to hear. He has a raspy voice easily drowned by ambient noise. By time the volume was high enough to hear the rasped parts, the rest was painfully loud.

Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 5
Two great social causes held center stage in American politics in the 1960s: the civil rights movement and the antiwar groundswell in the face of a deepening American military commitment in Vietnam. In Peace and Freedom, Simon Hall explores two linked themes: the civil rights movement's response to the war in Vietnam on the one hand and, on the other, the relationship between the black groups that opposed the war and the mainstream peace movement.

Slow, awkward narration
Revisado: 04-26-15
The narrator paused frequently mid-phrase, which made the delivery stilted and awkward. The reading rate was uncomfortably slow, even at 3x.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 112
When the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia adjourned late in the summer of 1787, the delegates returned to their states to report on the new Constitution, which had to be ratified by specially elected conventions in at least nine states. Pauline Maier recounts the dramatic events of the ensuing debate in homes, taverns, and convention halls, drawing generously on the speeches and letters of founding fathers, both familiar and forgotten, on all sides.

Good book ruined by poor performance
Revisado: 10-06-14
What would have made Ratification better?
The performance would have been significantly improved with better volume control. I constantly had to adjust the volume up and down to try to maintain a consistent level.
Would you be willing to try another one of Johnny Heller’s performances?
No. I found Johnny Heller to be a poor choice as a reader. His voice seems to lack any upper register. Even when I increased the volume to the point I found it physically painful, I still found the words difficult to decipher. Any background noise at all made understanding almost impossible.
