This riveting narrative explores the lives of six remarkable female pharaohs, from Hatshepsut to Cleopatra - women who ruled with real power - and shines a piercing light on our own perceptions of women in power today. Female rulers are a rare phenomenon - but thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt, women reigned supreme. But throughout human history, women in positions of power were more often used as political pawns in a male-dominated society. What was so special about ancient Egypt that provided women this kind of access to the highest political office?

Awesome
Revisado: 05-28-19
There is conjecture in the book as other reviews have said but there is no history to prove the author wrong and I'd rather hear conjecture from an expert rather than an armchair historian. Good book and well worth the time for listening.

Hatshepsut - the daughter of a general who usurped Egypt's throne and a mother with ties to the previous dynasty - was born into a privileged position in the royal household, and she was expected to bear the sons who would legitimize the reign of her father's family. Her failure to produce a male heir was ultimately the twist of fate that paved the way for her improbable rule as a cross-dressing king.

Worth it
Revisado: 05-26-19
A very detailed, but not overly, recounting of the Queen and her life. There were times I could "see" what she was describing, she clearly put a lot of thought into how she wrote about everything. There are a few times when the author shows her bias but she warned the reader in the beginning it would happen so its forgivable.

Recorded over the course of the last two decades, many of these personal stories of Titanic survivors would be lost to time had these recordings not been made. These deeply personal accounts recreate with unparalleled immediacy and poignancy man at his best, and worst.

The Lost Titanic Tapes tell the story of what happened in the words of those who lived it. It is a collection of first-person exclusive accounts from the survivors of the legendary disaster who would never forget the events of those brief hours, their own experiences, and the many hundreds who perished.

When it comes to insult comics, Bianca Del Rio is in a class by herself. Fierce, funny, and fabulous - a would-be love child sired by John Waters and birthed by Joan Rivers - Bianca sandblasted her name in the annals of pop culture on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Thanks to her snarky frankness, impeccable comedic timing, and politically incorrect humor, she became the show’s breakout star, winning its sixth season. In Blame It on Bianca Del Rio, Bianca shares her opinions loudly and proudly, offering raucous, hilarious, no-holds-barred commentary on annoyances, big and small.

I loved everything about this book, it's hilarious. If you can't take a joke you probably shouldn't buy. Having been a fan of BDR for years I knew what to expect and wasn't disappointed in the least. BUY THIS!!

Scotland is a fascinating and ancient land filled with history. Not everything in Scotland is as it appears, however. Some Scots say this is a land haunted by spirits, a place of strange disappearances and unexplained phenomena. The Ghosts of Scotland: A Collection of Ghost Stories Across the Scottish Nation is a collection of such tales, just a few among the thousands of local legends and modern sightings that make Scotland one of the most haunted countries in the world.

Anyone who's seen a ghost stories documentary on TV has heard these ghost stories. They aren't told in a particularly scary sense but it's not terrible either.

The truth is still out there. The iconic hit that had millions searching for UFOs back in the 90s is now an exhilarating audio event, only from Audible. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reunite as FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, joining an ensemble of original cast members in an out-of-this-world production.

Always great
Revisado: 08-01-17
I grew up with The X-Files so anything that has to do with it makes me happy and geek out. if your a fan of the series I recommend the book.
As far as the performances go everyone was great. David was a little bit dry reading but I imagine it's hard to do this after doing the action packed show. That being said the overall stories don't suffer.

The saga of the star who earned 10 Oscar nominations (winning twice), was married four times, and whose gritty character portrayals changed the history of women in the movies. We'll follow her life from her tough childhood (her father abandoned the family) to her early stardom in Of Human Bondage and Dangerous, through the rest of her legendary career.

If you ever grew up watching A&E this is the exact program minus the TV. I loved learning a little about Mrs. Davis, I have a lot more respect for her now instead of just as the amazing actress she was.

I really enjoyed this book. I've always been interested in the paranormal and as the author points out in the beginning I've always wondered about the LGBT people who have passed and why I never get to read their stories. I highly recommend this book to anyone.

Michelle Visage is not your average diva. Powerful, positive, and polished, this diva's not only glamorous, she's a savvy businesswoman with serious credentials who works her tail off. From her days vogueing in the downtown Manhattan clubs in the '90s to her successful career in radio and her ultimate cult status as a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race, Michelle has achieved her dreams and then some!

Would you listen to The Diva Rules again? Why?
Of course I would listen to it again, it's amazing all around. Michelle has some really good advice, I love that she can be a Diva without being a evil one.
What about Michelle Visage’s performance did you like?
Everything, no one else could have read this even as close to amazing as she does
