Too Identifiable

Revisado: 04-28-17

I heard part of a review on C-Span and planned to read the book...months later, I have. This book is very current. I was shocked by J.D.'s life, how many aspects were like mine, but mostly that so many people had read this non-fiction book. Sadly, that aspects of my life were so common as to be a best seller and stay on that list for so long. This book is inspirational for what is possible for someone who has at least one person who believes in them.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes! Listening to this book was like getting inside the meetings going on right now.

I had to try really hard not to confuse the current physical cliff drama with what is going on at present.

Info You NEED to Know!

Revisado: 08-04-12

Would you consider the audio edition of The Truth about Obamacare to be better than the print version?

Equal; which ever is best for your learning style.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The cost portion made me angry. Bit by bit, drip, drip, drip intrusion, eating away at our wallet.

Which scene was your favorite?

Doctors leaving the medical field in mass - cannot blame them.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but I will be listening to it again and again.

Any additional comments?

To understand the tweeking and changing that will take place, you need to understand what's there now. YOU NEED TO READ THE BOOK - this affects everyone. (The world use to come here for health care; where are WE going to go.)

Heard to Hear-Abandoning your comfort zone

Revisado: 07-15-12

What did you like best about Radical? What did you like least?

It was presented well. Lots of individual stories. Not sure I liked his unbalanced approach. Heavy on guilt. He didn't seem to pratice what he preached. Maybe I was too hard on him, it just was too heavy.

Has Radical turned you off from other books in this genre?

Nope

Which character – as performed by David Platt – was your favorite?

NA

Do you think Radical needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes, The Joy of the Lord would be a good subject

Any additional comments?

He read his own book. I do not wish to give my time to a book that has not been read by the author.

Very Entertaining-a REAL Surprise

Revisado: 05-12-12

If you could sum up No Apology in three words, what would they be?

EntertainingInformativeInspiring

Who was your favorite character and why?

Romey the worker.

Have you listened to any of Mitt Romney’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

My first

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, when ever he talked about making things work. You have to work with what you have.

Any additional comments?

Our current President had published two books-I read them both-before election day. I felt to be informed, I needed to read this book too. (I also like that the book was published well before the primary season when canidates morph.) It appears the choices will be between Obama and Romney. Romney is a problem solver. Listen to this book and get past the sound bites to what he thinks on a large variety of subjects.

Serious-moments of humor

Revisado: 05-05-12

What did you love best about Born Standing Up?

I enjoyed hearing all about his early years and his interactions with others in Hollywood.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I expected it to be more inclusive. It just stops when he gets into movies.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Steve Martin?

I only get books read by the author. He tells you up front he hates his work and the person he was then. So, his reading it this was should not have been a disappointment.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

His disappointment with the relationship he had with his father was moving. Especially the beating he took. He had a sad childhood.

Very Funny-Inspring too.

Revisado: 05-05-12

What made the experience of listening to A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity the most enjoyable?

I suppose if you grew up in the 60's you can relate to a number of his experiences. He was certianly not coddled, had to make it on his own. So in this way it was uplifting to see someone who works at life, thinks and keeps a cool head, can make it. Very much the American Dream, I think.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed alot listening to this book. I feel sorry for the sisters who taught him in school but he got it back when he became a school teacher.

Any additional comments?

A pleasure to listen to-I will likely listen to it again, like a video you keep watching over and over.

Textbook

Revisado: 05-05-12

What did you like best about Ameritopia? What did you like least?

This is a really good book if you are looking for history. It is not a book for pleasure, at all. If the book really is about the unmaking of America he needs to get to it quicker or more directly. And we surely do have a mess here, but it takes alot of effort to understand.

Would you ever listen to anything by Mark R. Levin again?

Not sure.

How could the performance have been better?

It is a very monotone read. I usually like to listen to a book read by the arthor, and this one was, but no passion in this book.

Was Ameritopia worth the listening time?

It's not a stright through read. I'm still not finished.

Any additional comments?

It would be a good college course. That is if there were any feeling in the reading.
