Historia
Just days after September 11, 2001, Kenneth Feinberg was appointed to administer the federal 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, a unique, unprecedented fund established by Congress to compensate families who lost a loved one on 9/11 and survivors who were physically injured in the attacks. Over the course of the next three years, Feinberg spent almost all of his time meeting with the families and learned about the enduring power of grief, love, fear, faith, frustration, and courage. Most importantly, he learned that no check could make the families and victims of 9/11 whole again.

I recommend this book to anyone unfamiliar with the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund and those interested to learn from Mr. Feinberg’s pragmatic mediation techniques.

Historia
Losing the Signal is a riveting story of a company that toppled global giants before succumbing to the ruthlessly competitive forces of Silicon Valley. This is not a conventional tale of modern business failure by fraud and greed. The rise and fall of BlackBerry reveals the dangerous speed at which innovators race along the information superhighway.

A well paced, fair, and balanced retelling of BlackBerry’s history that is a nice cross between a business book and an enjoyable story.

Historia
“It is a sin to write this. It is a sin to think words no others think and to put them down upon a paper no others are to see. It is base and evil.” Deep issues of conscience are explored in Ayn Rand’s dystopian tale of a man who dares to fight against a system that invades his very mind and identity.

Great book and great performance
Revisado: 08-01-22
An excellent classic by Ayn Rand. I recommend reading or listening to it after one reads or listens to at least two of the following three of Ayn Rand’s other works: We The Living, The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged. The narration of this book is rather slow, so I also recommend listening to it at 1.2x speed.

Historia
We the Living portrays the impact of the Russian Revolution on three people who demand the right to live their own lives. At its center is a girl whose passionate love is her fortress against the cruelty and oppression of a totalitarian state. Rand said of this book: "It is as near to an autobiography as I will ever write."

Different from Rand's other books
Revisado: 11-14-19
We The Living feels different from Rand's other books even though it shares many common themes with Anthem. Listeners who are not familiar with Soviet communist propaganda and ideology may find this book hard to follow because it references many Soviet government institutions and slogans. At the same time, this book does a good job of depicting the Soviet ideology and the overwhelming effect of Soviet rule on people's everyday life. Even though it is not autobiographical, it also offers a useful backdrop to Rand's subsequent writing.
Although some of the other reviews complain of the audio quality, I thought that it was fine. The audio does sometimes accelerate, but I felt that the narrator did that on purpose and it worked well with Rand's writing style in this particular book.

Highly recommended for those in legal profession
Revisado: 10-14-19
This book is of particular interest to those in the legal profession, including both attorneys and non-attorney staff members. Employees of major law firms will likely hear their employer's name and other familiar firms’ names more than once.
