TOM WORKING

Narrator was superb, as we the authorship.

Terrible events, and so many ruined lives. Unfortunately, to simply brand this man a monster is not the narrative. Gacy was mentally ill. A monster isn't real...severe mental health issues that short circuit a brain to compel somene to unfeelingly murder is real. We used to think lobotomy was acceptable treatment for schizophrenia. Whatever we figure out what Gacy's mental state was I assume we will look back and be horrified that we killed these people...and not as deterrent but as vengeance.

William Hughes is a great narrator

Revisado: 03-10-22

Awesome story of pure, unadulterated greed. We all have it in us, and to pretend to hold public figures up to a higher standard is simple folly. Nothing has changed in our corporate and political system since the 20s except for the fact that the players have gotten better at tricking us! Excellent writing, very enjoyable.

Excellent, a must listen

Well researched, well told. I highly enjoyed this dark look into the Demeo crew and life in Canarsie in the 70s. Scary as hell.

Well written, excellent narration, a hidden gem for the true crime sickos like me! I could listen to hundreds of these. Excellent job.

Very interesting, well written, but skewed a bit.

Revisado: 03-30-20

I mean, how can't a book written by an Israeli journalist not be pro-Israel? I don't think for a second that Mr. Katz wrote this book with any hidden agenda, and I accept his point of view, but if you're looking for a unbiased account of this event, you won't find it here.

That being said, is an unbiased book about a historic event even something that's even possible? This review certainly isn't unbiased....because my political and personal feelings wrote it. Mr. Katz is not only a great writer, he is well respected and has so many more insights into Israel than an armchair goof like me, so I'm not going to be so vain as to slag his book because he believes in Israel.

Overall, excellent reporting, great story, and of course, Christopher Lane is a pro. I'll absolutely buy more books by Mr. Katz and if Christopher Lane is narrating, slam dunk!

Excellent listen. Brzezinski is a pro.

Fantastic book about an amazing time in Russia. As far as corruption goes, little has changed in 20 years eh? Perhaps we was Westerners can learn from this and just leave people alone to do their own thing. Let Russia be Russia. Who gives a fuck if they are corrupt and steal from themselves? If we keep our greedy paws out of their business, we have nothing to fear from these people.

Not a fan of Hollywood crap or the vacuum of humanity known as California , but I am a huge fan of the narrator. Turns out that the book was incredibly well written and very, very entertaining. Christopher Lane is simply wonderful.

Bethany Mclean is a genius

Simply outstanding. I'm not suggesting Communism works, or that I would like to live under it, but this book clearly shows that Americans aren't capable of responsibly using capitalism. My loathing for these people makes me almost physically ill.

You better be mustachioed to read this

What a treat to listen to. Johnny Waldman did a fantastic job luring me into a scientific world that I had no idea existed. Witty, sharp, and incredibly easy to follow and enjoy. Christopher Lane is perfect for this, and like usual, does a wonderful job narrating. Rust was a a fantastic listen, and I look forward to more from Johnny Waldman!

Excellent, but why not Grover?

Revisado: 03-02-17

William L doesn't need me to tell anyone how good his writing is. It speaks for itself. I am just confused about why Blackstone Audio (who owns the copyright thereto - ha!) wouldn't have had the great Grover read this? Grover was an incredible narrator for The Rise and Fall, and if you listened that, you might agree that it would have made Berlin Diary better with the same voice. Maybe you wouldn't agree. If that's the case, well, you're an idiot. Perhaps I'm the idiot? Regardless, excellent book, but in my expert opinion (I went to University for one semester, 22 years ago) it would have been perfect had Grover read it.
