Historia
Al Franken, Giant of the Senate is a book about an unlikely campaign that had an even more improbable ending: the closest outcome in history and an unprecedented eight-month recount saga, which is pretty funny in retrospect. It's a book about what happens when the nation's foremost progressive satirist gets a chance to serve in the United States Senate and, defying the low expectations of the pundit class, actually turns out to be good at it.

If you could sum up Elon Musk in three words, what would they be?
Amazingly driven individual
Who was your favorite character and why?
Musk naturally the book is about him
What does Fred Sanders bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He did a nice job of keeping the tone correct
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I am simply impressed with the determination of the world shaker. I would not wish to work for him but I do admire his drive and risk taking. He will certainly leave a positive mark on humanity.

Not sure
Revisado: 07-26-17
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
not sure where this book was going, it starts with a robbery then drifts off into some person unrelated direction. I moved on to other things about half way through the book as I lost track of the story,
What do you think your next listen will be?
I would do another TC book just didn't care for this one
Which character – as performed by January LaVoy – was your favorite?
None
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Camino Island?
I can't say as I gave up on the book half way through

What made the experience of listening to This Fight Is Our Fight the most enjoyable?
Unlike our current political departure this book told a story of truth and honesty
What did you like best about this story?
It all came from the heart.

She conveys here honesty and determination to make common peoples lives better. For her it's not money or power rather the redirection of those things towards common good.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
Any additional comments?
This book shows us that not all politicians are greedy and self centered.

Historia
If your funny older sister were the former deputy chief of staff to President Barack Obama, her behind-the-scenes political memoir would sound something like this. Who Thought This Was a Good Idea? is an intimate and admiring portrait of a president, a candid book of advice for young women, and a promising debut from a savvy political star.

What would have made Who Thought This Was a Good Idea? better?
It would be nice to acquire onsite into the Obama atmosphere and daily operations rather than the ramblings of IBS and other health issues. Probably a good book for teen age girls to read
Would you ever listen to anything by Alyssa Mastromonaco and Lauren Oyler again?
Nope
How could the performance have been better?
The entire book just seemed and sounded childish. I fast forwarded through the last half of the book just to put an end to it
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Being electronic I can delete it

What disappointed you about The Long Walk?
Weak story way way to long
Would you ever listen to anything by Stephen King again?
No
What about Kirby Heyborne’s performance did you like?
Very good
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Yes its done and I don't have to listen again
Any additional comments?
Stephen King is a great Author however all his books are dragged out forever during the introduction of characters. The long walk could have been two pages long yet it went on for hours.
