Historia
The Urban Promise Prep School vows to turn boys into men. As students, J.B., Ramón, and Trey are forced to follow the prestigious "program's" strict rules. Extreme discipline, they’ve been told, is what it takes to be college bound, to avoid the fates of many men in their neighborhoods. This, the Principal Moore Method, supposedly saves lives. But when Moore ends up murdered and the cops come sniffing around, the trio emerges as the case's prime suspects.

I now know the origins of Stephen King’s “It”. A masterpiece and masterfully read. I highly recommend it.

Spellbinding to the end!

This work of fiction was delightful and the performance even more so. It started a bit slow and convoluted but by the halfway point I was fully hooked. A great who done it that I can see being a movie.

Historical fiction at its finest
Revisado: 04-14-21
Ken Follet writes a very historical detailed fictional book. I’m not sure how I even found it in my Audible recommendations All that said I’m glad I listened and am looking forward to watching the mini series.

Historia
On Winston Churchill’s first day as prime minister, Adolf Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium. Poland and Czechoslovakia had already fallen, and the Dunkirk evacuation was just two weeks away. For the next 12 months, Hitler would wage a relentless bombing campaign, killing 45,000 Britons. It was up to Churchill to hold his country together and persuade President Franklin Roosevelt that Britain was a worthy ally - and willing to fight to the end. In The Splendid and the Vile, Erik Larson shows how Churchill taught the British people "the art of being fearless."

Classic Larson Novel
Revisado: 03-03-21
I really liked the story and the history. I always love the extra detail that the author places around historical information so as to weave what could be boring history into a descriptive and detailed telling.
My only critique is in the reading performance. The trailing off of his voice at the end of almost every sentence Maude rewind a fair amount to make out what it was he said.

Having Trevor Noah read his own story is captivating. The wit and tragedy weaved together is astounding and learning his backstory makes me appreciate where he is now even more. I recommend highly.

Claire Danes reads the story with an experience about her as if she has read it a few times before this recording. The tonal quality of her voice and the inflections and pauses make this great story even greater.
