After signing as a junior driver for McLaren in 2017, he has since asserted himself as the team's brightest talent and an aspiring world champion.

Do your research
Revisado: 01-28-24
Great story, but it would have been so much more enjoyable if the narrator did his research into how to pronounce names of drivers, race tracks and racing teams!! His mispronunciation distracted me from the story!

What a great insight into a genius’ mind
Revisado: 09-08-23
I have been aware of Adrian’s skills with his membership of the Red Bull team, but this book proves that you don’t need to be a “Rhodes Scholar” to do great things. He is a genius at design, and his early life and education obviously had a great bearing on him. Having a father who was as technically advanced helped, but Adrian’s “Bad Boy” actions added to his natural abilities and made him a well-rounded, humble man with so much to offer. A most enjoyable audio book. The only thing that would have made it better is to have Adrian read it to us! Thank you Adrian for your book.

A great book. It was especially good hearing about F1 from the point of view of a driver. Jenson writes from the heart and had me in tears at one stage. A great driver and a great writer.

Historia
Why was the redoubtable King Henry, an aborigine from Western Australia, killed during a thunderstorm in New South Wales? What was the feud that led to murder after nineteen long years had passed? And who was the woman who saw the murder and kept silent? This first story of Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte, the half-aborigine detective, takes him to a sheep station in the Darling River bush country where he encounters those problems he understands so well... mixed blood and divided loyalties.

Wonderful painted picture
Revisado: 06-30-17
Arthur upfield is a wonderful author who can paint a wonderful picture with words. He is not shackled by the main story line but describes the environment and lives of those in the story. Once you get past the old-time attitudes, and out of date use of descriptive words linked to Australian first people, it's a great story. Don't let words of the past worry you.

Narration is too precise and stilted. We are not supposed to even notice the narrators style, but be immersed in the story. Not so with this book.

Good again

After the poor narration of the last book, this one was excellent and the story line was top class, leaving us hanging and waiting for the next instalment .

Superbly read!
Revisado: 12-04-13
Would you listen to Fall of Giants again? Why?
Yes. John Lee's reading takes me into the story.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I loved Eth. Her ability to rise above mysogisistic jibes. A woman before her time.
Any additional comments?
A great story, with a good smattering of history to educate us.
