Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 58
When thousands of Somali refugees resettled in Lewiston, Maine, a struggling, overwhelmingly white town, longtime residents grew uneasy. Then the mayor wrote a letter asking Somalis to stop coming, which became a national story. While scandal threatened to subsume the town, its high school's soccer coach integrated Somali kids onto his team, and their passion began to heal old wounds.

This is a great story. I worked across the river in Auburn during this season, and I was oblivious to all of it. I appreciate learning about it.
However, the narrator struggled with pronouncing names (but surprisingly NOT most of the Somali names--the typical French names that are much more common!) and towns. It won't affect most listeners' experience, but we Mainahs will cringe every time.

An ordinary Utah college student named Reggie Shaw fatally strikes two rocket scientists while texting and driving. Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Matt Richtel follows Reggie from the moment of the tragedy, through the police investigation, the state's groundbreaking prosecution, and ultimately, Reggie's wrenching admission of responsibility. Richtel parallels Reggie's journey with leading-edge scientific findings regarding human attention and the impact of technology on our brains.

Scary Message for the Times!
Revisado: 11-13-17
This book made me reconsider how we distract ourselves nowadays. There is always something to keep our minds busy and to take our attention from the real world and from important situations. The story is compelling, and the research is convincing. Things must change!
