A sweeping narrative history of the events leading to 9/11, a groundbreaking look at the people and ideas, the terrorist plans and the Western intelligence failures that culminated in the assault on America. Lawrence Wright's remarkable book is based on five years of research and hundreds of interviews that he conducted in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sudan, England, France, Germany, Spain, and the United States.

Narrator disappointment
Revisado: 04-12-23
The subject is fascinating and seems well researched. The author narrates his book and that spoiled it for me. His thin, monotone voice is so annoying that I’ve stopped listening at chapter 8.
I’ll finish it in hard copy borrowed from the library.

As President Trump’s national security advisor, John Bolton spent many of his 453 days in the room where it happened, and the facts speak for themselves. The result is one of the few White House memoirs to date by a top-level official. With almost daily access to the president, John Bolton has produced a precise rendering of his days in and around the Oval Office. What Bolton saw astonished him: a president for whom getting reelected was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation.

It's a necessary read regardless of your politics

Disorganized and off topic
Revisado: 01-17-21
Mr Bolton goes off on detailed tangents about his own international work often. The story lacks chronological telling and focuses too much on his personal adventures having nothing or little to do with Trump. It feels like a rush job with inadequate editing.

Predictable drivel
Revisado: 12-13-16
Would you try another book from Jessica E. Subject and/or Audrey Lusk?
One and done. With a preposterous story line and a predictable outcome this was a waste of an hour.
Would you ever listen to anything by Jessica E. Subject again?
No I won't. Her writing lacks character depth.
What didn’t you like about Audrey Lusk’s performance?
The performance was stilted, not believable and not in synch with the feelings of the character. It sounded like Audrey was just not really into her or didn't want to let herself be the main character. Her reading of the guy was stiff. She wasn't conveying his emotional state either.
Any additional comments?
A dud. Dull story with dull performance.
