Insightful & Illuminating

Revisado: 08-08-24

Extremely well written on the labels, atrocities, and standing of Africa from an African’s point of view; as opposed to the Western world’s stereotypes and biases. The writer was the narrator and did an excellent job of keeping pace and tone. If I had to find a criticism it would be that he painted whites with a broad based disdain that while justifiable, was also akin to same biases he so disavows. Nonetheless I thoroughly enjoyed the book and recommend it.

Integrity and Honesty

Revisado: 01-28-24

Ms Cheney is forthright, sincere, and a brave patriot. A true portrait in courage. It is a little repetitive but that does not diminish the message: Don Trump is a childish bully who threatens American democracy. The Republicans who cow-tow to him are ambitious opportunist who are complicit.

Repetitive. I kept listening hoping it would get better. It just got worse and more repetitive.

Imaginative, detailed, hopeful

Revisado: 07-10-23

Overall I liked the reality and comprehensiveness of the issues. If I had to find a flaw it would be the delta between the unraveling of life on earth due to anthropomorphic climate change and the hopeful ending of a more peaceful existence with all of life. It was clear that we as humans got from a to z with lots of hiccups but it was less clear how we got there… though in fairness that probably would have been quite dry

A Great book.

Revisado: 02-21-21

The story of how four American presidents, (two Republicans and two Democrats) grew, overcame obstacles to become leaders is inspiring, engaging and full of lessons relevant to today’s issues. Four American presidents, each unique, are confronted with existential threats to the union of the county. How each of these four presidents rose to the challenges of their time is presented evenly, allowing for their humanity and brilliance to touch our own hearts and minds. Their stories are personal and iconic. Goodwin outlines for us their common goals for goodness, fairness, justice and equality. Each president’s narrative is expertly read by a different actor adding to the overall sense of each of their characters.

Delicious.

Revisado: 10-26-20

Surprisingly well written. Michael Cohen reveals himself as a thoughtful, intelligent and multifaceted person. My previous impression of him was as thug like character with little substance. I was pleasantly impressed by the man. His confessions of being drawn to Donald J Trump like a moth to a flame was insightful. He painted a portrait of Trump as a charismatic man with star power coupled and an insatiable drive for power and money devoid of any conscience. Yet it is Cohen’s warning of the likihood that Donald J Trump will not leave office peacefully that must be heard and heeded by us all.
