Heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹

I felt the emotions of everyone involved. I’m sure Biden suffered during his more lucid moments. This was not the first president who needed to be shielded during a health crisis. The poor man held the world on his fragile shoulders and I’m sure the presidency accelerated the decline considerably. I enjoyed the narrative.

Engrossing

Revisado: 02-27-25

I really appreciated how the author compared and contrasted these two giants in how they influenced the Civil Rights movement. I feel there was a place for the both of them. Not everyone was prepared to absorb the results of Malcolm’s boldness, but it was necessary to see that not everyone was going to tow a gentle line.

Bottom line is that they were both human and deserved respect. They both sacrificed themselves at young ages for our behalf. Rest in Power to the both of them.

Ms. Monroe has a way to completely absorb you into her stories. I was actually drawn into the entire atmosphere and couldn’t stop listening. Even at work. I hope she continues this series.

Humble, Likable Person

Revisado: 12-26-24

I developed a soft spot for Joe while listening to this. He’s really a good natured person. The narrator represented him well.

Like another reviewer said, I listened to Ali’s story first. I didn’t care for Ali too much, but after growing up, I concur that Ali wasn’t really all that he was cracked up to be… certainly no “greatest “.

I respect Joe more.

I Don’t Want It To End!

I had NO IDEA how incredibly interesting this audiobook would be! I’ve been listening in the mornings during my commute to work. So many interesting facts! The narrator draw me in and I’m in a different world, seeing all that I already knew from a different perspective.

I thank BOTH, the author and the narrator for speaking to my soul.

That Reverend Curtis Black! I loved everything about this book. The characters, the NARRATOR (loved the inflections in her entertaining voice!), the story line. I found myself cracking up one minute and getting mad like these are real people! I plan to listen to each and every audiobook in this series. I’d love for Curtis to stop his mess but…then, there would not be these juicy novels!

Spellbinding

I can’t stop listening! Each chapter drew me in further, and the narrator’s voice didn’t really irritate me at all. It really illuminated daily life in communist North Korea and made me even more appreciative of my life in America.

I pray for every soul surviving in that region, and thank this author for sharing her journey.

Excellent!

I could not stop listening, and don't want it to end. I have always felt that we should pay heed to the MESSAGE, not the MAN. King was a human being with habits and faults like the rest of us. He had taken on a deep responsibility, one that he was not ready for in some ways. I still respect him for his work and sacrifice to make a better world for us.

Narration can make or break an audio book, and in this case, I hung onto every word.

Riveting!

Fishburne's narration captures you and the additional, occasional music adds drama. I only wish that the preface and the assassination were included. Why would they miss that?? Other wise, this is superb!

REALITY!

Revisado: 12-14-22

There is no way I can romanticize the Victorian society after listening to this! These poor people were taken for granted! They were invisible, sub-human and treated like cattle. No rest for the weary, no warmth from the cold. Just existing and breathing until they met their makers for these clueless, cruel and superficial people!

This is an excellent listen to learn how people were regarded and treated. I thank the author for sharing this reality. I’d love to know how today’s royal servants are faring.
