If you've already heard of blogging, affiliate links, and YouTube - and actually do them - you've covered everything in the book.

One of the most important books we can ever read!

Revisado: 08-24-19

Finally! A book that gives is the tools we need to succeed at personal change. Prior to reading this book, I thought the only way to make any improvements is to muster greater will power. But that never works. Change Anything is a book with serious tools that have been studied and proven.

Not one of Rex Stout's best

Revisado: 07-07-19

Compared with the majority of other Nero Wolfe stories, Plot It Yourself disappoints.

1. Wolfe leaves the house. For reasons he'd never budge on other stories.

2. A large percentage of the detective work is done by Saul Panzer. That's normally okay - I love Saul - but throughout this story, Archie is told to get off the line when Saul phones in his reports. Consequently, we readers/listeners are not allowed to follow along and try to figure things out.

3. Cramer and Stebbens are not invited to the big reveal party. When Wolfe identifies the swindler, he's able to satisfy his clients, so I'm sure he collected his fee. But the swindler is also a there-time murderer who is allowed to walk out. Then the story ends. We never see that Justice is done.

Only 4 of 33 Stories

Revisado: 01-26-19

Louis L'Amour's collection volume 6 (the crime stores) book contains 33 stories. This audio book contains only 4 of them.

I love the crime stories, so I was hoping for several more (like all of them), and was extremely disappointed to find only four.

These four are great stories and Stephen Mendel's reading is excellent. What is here is well done.

Just wish there were 29 more of them from the original book.

Great Content - But Very Abridged

Revisado: 09-09-17

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Call?

I have the physical book as well as the Audible book. The abridged Audible book is not a condensed version of the book. It is a series of speeches with the same title that address the same topic, but only loosely in the same way as the physical book. That was a disappointment to me, but once I got past that, the Audible version was still excellent.

What about Os Guinness’s performance did you like?

I always love listening to Os Guinness. He's warm, engaging, and someone I'd love to talk with over coffee. I'd be taking lots of notes, though, because he is always a source of great wisdom.
