A wonderful and insightful listen

Revisado: 09-23-22

I picked this book because I am a fan of NYPD Blue, but the book is so much more than that. It's a trip through the life of an F^%$ up that was a great writer, one who was able to bring characters to the screen that were as close to real life as you'll ever get. With flaws and idiosyncrasies. that we all have but rarely brought to the screen. Michael Harney does an excellent job with the narration. You think you're listening to Milch himself. All in all a great listen.

This was a fun listen

This was my first Brett Battles novel and it won't be my last. I enjoyed this listen. Zach Villa did a good job with the narration. It was first person and his voice was perfect for the character.

A great story and wonderful naration

Revisado: 05-29-21

I had this book on my wish list for some time and decided to listen to it. should have a long time ago. I knew just the basics of Lou Gehrig,s story. this brought just enough of his life into focus without going into a lot of detail that can often get tedious. Edward Hermann was the perfect narrator for this book. I have over 300 books in my audible library, this is one of the best.

I had listened to Helter Shelter several years ago and enjoyed that book, but that was my extent of my knolage of the Manson family and the murders. Chaos gave me a whole new insight into the entire story. great book.

interesting ideas about our governmental system

Revisado: 05-27-20

the more I hear from Robert Reich the more I agree and respect his views. His nation is easy to listen to and he presents his ideas in an organized manner. if this sounds to dull, it's not. it is entertaining. He has got me thinking about our system and must how it is run. A good listen.

Great learning experience for a new vegetarian

Revisado: 06-18-19

I first was convinced to remove meat from my diet after reading Protenaholic by Garth Davis, I then ran across How Not to Die and just finished listening to it. What a great book, it gove over some of the ground that Davis did, but goes into detail about what foods to eat that can help in preventing some diseases. it is read by Dr. Greger and sometimes that can be a problem, but not here. I don't think anyone could have done a better job of reading this book. His. enthusiasm for the subject, which could have been very bland, comes through in every page. More then once I found myself laughing at his humor and his voice inflection. In the book, Dr. Gregor talks about the fact that he traveled across the country for some time giving hundreds if not thousands of lectures and you end up learning how to speak from all that experience and that shows in the reading of this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who doesn't want to die. (from heart disease, cancer, to much salt and many other diseases.

Love this book

Revisado: 11-04-18

I bought this book because it was on an Audible sale. I found it to be one of the best books I have listened to in a long time. Quite often the Author should not narrate his own books but this was not the case with Sam Hell, Dogoni did a great job narrating the book. I'll listen to this again, it was that good. This was my first book by Dogoni but I have already got another one.

One of my favorite Koontz books.

Revisado: 11-04-18

I had read Watchers many years ago and decided it was time to revisit it as an audiobook. It was a good a listen as it was a read. Edoardo Ballerini's narration is great for this book. You hate for the book to come to an end.

I loved it

Revisado: 05-11-18

This was enjoyable listen, the story of some of the greatest aircraft in history. I have been an aviation buff since my youth in the 60s when you could write to aircraft manufacturers and they would send you 8x10 photos of their plains. I would read books on WWII air war, go to air shows and knew all the different military aircraft of the time. Skunkworks brought that all home to me. Well written and narrated. The story of the U2, SR71 and the F117 was fascinating. for anyone interested in the history of aviation after WWII, read this book. You won't be disappointed. I was sorry to get to the end.

A riveting real life story

Revisado: 10-27-17

Apollo 8 was one of my favorite listens. A tremendous real-life story of the first manned Apollo mission to the moon. Well written and researched with excellent narration. It was a great story about an exciting part of our nation's history that I had lived through. I was almost 14 years old in December of 1968 but don't remember much about that mission. I think Apollo 8 kind of got lost after we landed on the moon a little over six months later, but it was a history-making event, and this book is a must listen for anyone wanting to know more about that period in history. As it said in the book, 1968 as perhaps the most violent year in America's recent history, but Apollo 8 saved 1968. This book was so good I will want to revisit it.
