Better than the others

Revisado: 10-19-14

Would you listen to After the Music Stopped again? Why?

Yes I plan on listening to it again because the topic is complex and Blinder's analysis of the causes and remedies are not yet fully implemented.

Who was your favorite character and why?

This isn't a story focused on characters. It is about a crisis, ideas of solutions, and decisions. The favorite idea is about the way to help people with their mortgages. That is because it was not addressed by the decision makers during the crisis.

What about Graham Vick’s performance did you like?

He has a very appealing voice.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

This is not a drama, it is an excellent analysis.

Any additional comments?

This book is better than Elizabeth Warren's book or Tim Geithner's book because it is not written as a personal memoir. It is an objective analysis from one of the very few people smart enough and familiar enough to get it right.

This book sucks

Revisado: 12-16-13

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Nothing

Would you ever listen to anything by Nick Offerman again?

No

How could the performance have been better?

Make it worth listening to.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Paddle Your Own Canoe?

Everything

Any additional comments?

The worst book that I have listened to on Audible. A very bad imposter of Anthony Bourdain or Steve Martin. Really worthless.

Better with maps

What did you love best about Gettysburg?

I loved the detail, the amount of background information, and the authors encyclopedic knowledge of the Civil War, especially the Battle of Gettysburg. My only advice is: before listening to this book, it may be helpful to go to the Wikipedia website and down load maps from the Gettysburg Campaign. It helped me understand the complexity of moving thousands of men and materials, as well as what goes into preparing for battle, and how the battle was played out.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The Iron Brigade of the Union Army because they stood and fought longer and harder, suffering the most devastating losses, than anyone else on the Union side.

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

No, but the narration was excellent.

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

No, but the description of the carnage was cringe-worthy.

Any additional comments?

The best thing to listen to when you are facing what seems to be an overwhelmingly difficult time in your life.

best book about statistics

Revisado: 02-11-13

Would you consider the audio edition of The Signal and the Noise to be better than the print version?

Nate does what no one else has managed to do. Write a comprehensive book about statistics and probability that is interesting and informative. I loved listening to this book.

Just what I needed to read

Revisado: 08-13-12

What did you love best about Making It All Work?

Making It All Work was the book I needed to read to get a handle on my business and my life. It offers clear and concise recommendations on how to use the concepts of David's earlier book "Getting Things Done" to improve your life.

What did you like best about this story?

What I liked best was the flexibility of the recommendations and how practical it is.

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

This book is as good as "Getting Things Done", but I think you should read "Getting Things Done" first.

What did you love best about Crush It!?

Gary has lived the strategies explained in Crush-It. He explains how social media is different from advertising in print or TV. Then he outlines how to use social media to do what you love doing. It is clear and convincing.

If you’ve listened to books by Gary Vaynerchuk before, how does this one compare?
