Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 14
Many biographies of people with schizophrenia seem to dwell primarily on the feeling of hopelessness, and they keep expectations for the sufferer's future low. With this autobiography, Mr. Jiang attempts to turn the tables on this litany of sorrow. He shows himself as a result of the miracles that modern medicine can produce. He went from being a basket case to a respected, technologically-savvy medical librarian working at a world-renowned research institution.

Audio Book Listeners Beware
Revisado: 05-31-16
Would you try another book from William Jiang and/or Daniel Pierce?
No.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Unfortunately the editing of this book was deplorable. It was a struggle to get through Chapter 3 with all the restarts, throat clearing, belching, and content repeats of words and sentences.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Yes.
Any additional comments?
I don't understand why the author felt it necessary to praise himself, over and over, for his accomplishments when they are self evident.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 537
Weaving together historical examples, scientific studies, and compelling court cases - from the border collie put on trial in Kentucky to the five teenagers who falsely confessed in the Central Park Jogger case - Benforado shows how our judicial processes fail to uphold our values and protect society's weakest members. With clarity and passion, he lays out the scope of the problem and proposes a wealth of reforms that could prevent injustice and help us achieve true fairness and equality before the law.

The author brings a lot of ideas to the table. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the judicial system.

British History Degree Needed Before Listening
Revisado: 01-27-16
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
No...15 hours long.
Was A Desperate Fortune worth the listening time?
No.
Any additional comments?
I'll be more selective in the future of books by British authors. This was very tedious and seemly would never come to an end.
