The impossible has been accomplished. The Lord Ruler - the man who claimed to be god incarnate and brutally ruled the world for a thousand years - has been vanquished. But Kelsier, the hero who masterminded that triumph, is dead too, and now the awesome task of building a new world has been left to his young protégé, Vin, the former street urchin who is now the most powerful Mistborn in the land, and to the idealistic young nobleman she loves.

Not as good as the first book, little slow at times, bit of a pointless love triangle but the end is very good. really excited for book 3

The audio quality of this book is atrocious
Revisado: 02-06-24
This story is really good and something I really want to listen to but the audio on this book is one of the worst I've ever heard on Audible. With headphones on, I can hear someone talking in the background the entire time, was someone else recording in the same space? Were people just having a conversation? How did this pass editing at a publisher like HarperCollins? I swear around the 34 minute mark of chapter 2 I can hear a door open.
I really hope this isn't an issue in the other 2 volumes because it greatly detracts from an otherwise phenomenal experience

Boxing has one of the richest literary traditions in sports. From A. J. Liebling to Donald McRae, the sweet science has consistently inspired great writing. The work of Carlos Acevedo stands firmly in that distinguished tradition. In this expanded edition of Sporting Blood, Acevedo adds two new masterful essays—one about the murder of Stanley Ketchel, the other about the gangland slaying of Battling Siki—to those that made his debut collection an instant classic.

Audiobook error ruins story
Revisado: 01-16-24
There's some loop on the Jack Johnson chapter, around the halfway point the chaper begins again. i don't know if there's more to the chapter that is left out or if it's just lazy editing but it's annoying
The Narrator kind of sucks too. putting accents on Hispanic names but can't get Ali or Holyfield right, calls them Alli and Hollyfield.

In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe.

Ok story abysmal narrators
Revisado: 06-19-23
The first narrator in this book is very unpleasant to listen to. she sounds like she's reading to children at nap time. makes an otherwise good story tedious to get through.
the second narrator (more than one should never be a thing) sounds like he's trying to be a pretend lawman from the olden days. Just read the story bro.
didn't make it to the 3rd.
it's annoying when narrators ruin a good story

One promise of democracy is the right of every citizen to vote. And yet, from our founding, strong political forces were determined to limit that right. The Supreme Court, Alexander Hamilton wrote, would protect the weak against this very sort of tyranny. Still, as On Account of Race forcefully demonstrates, through the better part of American history the Court has instead been a protector of white rule. And complex threats against the right to vote persist even today.

This is a very good book, very important story about US History and the abuse of the voting rights of Black Americans.
The Narrator is garbage, sounds like it was recorded in a tin can. Man mispronounced several words like precedent, error and Carnegie. Aren't there editors for these things? Please do better.

The company of the Ring is torn asunder. Frodo and Sam continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin - alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go. This continues the classic tale begun in The Fellowship of the Ring, which reaches its awesome climax in The Return of the King.

Andy Serkis has been incredible reading the Lord of the Rings. The voices are excellent. I honestly hope he reads more books on Middle Earth. All of them would be nice

In a sleepy village in the Shire, a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task. He must make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ruling Ring of Power - the only thing that prevents the Dark Lord Sauron’s evil dominion. Thus begins J. R. R. Tolkien’s classic tale of adventure, which continues in The Two Towers and The Return of the King.

The best reading of LOTR
Revisado: 09-23-21
Andy Serkis set the bar when he read The Hobbit during the Pandemic last year and I hoped they'd have a recorded version. It was incredible, I did not expect him to record The Lord of the Rings as well. He sets the bar higher here, this should go down as the definitive audio version of these books.

Over the course of 20 months, the bipartisan 9/11 Commission, five Democrats and five Republicans held 12 public hearings and received testimony from 160 witnesses. Dozens of government agencies and other entities provided the Commission with more than 2.5 million pages of documents and other material. The report and its recommendations can save American lives.

Important historical information
Revisado: 09-09-21
This is an important piece of history from a time that reshaped America. Some of it is still relevant, unfortunately.
My biggest problem is multiple narrators, some of them are genuinely bad. You have Grover Gardner on this, you didn't need anyone else. especially these old guys who sound like they're falling asleep or have crap audio equipment.

Heartbreaking, painful and important
Revisado: 08-27-21
This is probably one of my favorite books that I've read. It is very difficult to listen to due to the extreme nature of life in Guantanamo for prisoners. However there are times where I found myself in awe at the determination Mansoor showed to hold on to himself and his humanity with help from his brothers his faith.
Americans turned a blind eye to everything that happened at Guantanamo regardless of detainees guilt or innocence. This book shines a bright long overdue light on those events.
I doubt Mansoor would ever see this but I hope he is doing well in his life and I hope for more books from him in the future.

Only minutes after United 175 plowed into the World Trade Center's South Tower, people in positions of power correctly suspected who was behind the assault: Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda. But it would be 18 months after September 11 before investigators would capture the actual mastermind of the attacks, the man behind bin Laden himself: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
