A Truth Hard Won

Revisado: 12-17-21

We should all be grateful to the author for her amazing perseverance and her willingness to tell the story. We who live in a mostly free world should never take it for granted, as I feel we often do.

I was particularly interested in her take on how propaganda makes it difficult for people to think their own thoughts and how hard it is to unlearn the falsehoods. this seems very relevant in our Western world today.

Worth every minute of your time and I hope that when you're done you will as I plan to do share this book with others.

Life Changing

Revisado: 05-08-21

A completely new way of looking at trauma and healing. Thank you Dr. Perry and Oprah.

understaning how trauma affects the brain is the key to understanding yourself and helping those you love.

The storytelling approach to a complex topic makes the content accessible and meaningful.

contrived and convoluted

For a book club. in the end, just a bunch of lost people. I guess there was a morality tale here, but it didn't move me.

No One to Like

Revisado: 08-25-20

I felt like the writer's impeccable details were lost on three highly dislikeable characters with a story that makes no sense. The protagonist is so full of self loathing that I felt like she was mentally I'll and being exploited by the author. The hypersexuality was disturbing without the character realizing how demeaning her sex life was. I hope the author uses her talents to create characters and stories that are relatable to readers.

Read.This.Book.Now

My jaw dropped while listening to the 1st chapter and stayed open to the very end. All citizens of the world need to understand how the combination of data technology and well organized forces such as the Alt-Right combine with unlimited money to do nothing short of breaking democracy.

There is Justice After All

Revisado: 07-19-19

This book was one of the most hopeful things I've read in a while. It is an homage to our democracy and the beauty of the judicial system, told through stories that help make his points. The author, despite all the horrible things he's seen and prosecuted, can still see the beauty of our legal and judicial system and is proud to be part of it. I was hesitant to read this book, thinking it was going to be another political hack book, but it's just the opposite. It's about what is right in America.

predictable

Revisado: 06-16-19

The basic story was good, but it was so obvious what was going to happen. It felt like the lessons were repeated 3 times so we were being hit over the head.

I Was Schooled

Revisado: 03-19-19

In our current political climate, everyone should listen til what life is really like inside the FBI. I am grateful to have the men and women who protect us do their job, and I am sorry that politics has entered into their lives in the rude way that it has.

I didn't have much of an image of Andrew McCabe before I listened to this book, but he strikes me as not only a truthful person, but an unsung hero.

A magnificent mix of story telling educating and humor. It is a miracle that Trevor Noah turned out as well as he did.

I wish he were my Senator! Inspiring story I think audio is the right medium for this book to appreciate his comedic dry wit.
