Good book

Revisado: 09-09-22

Aside from the fact that the reader sounded a lot like Bobby Hill than she did Janis, I enjoyed this book.

Interesting case

Revisado: 11-01-19

The story if the actual events are fascinating and well told. The second half of the book ... Bugliosi is TEDIOUS in the minute detail with wich he re tells nearly the entire trial ... Seemingly in real time. He is quite positive he is the world's greatest litigator, and never missed an opportunity to tell you. In detail. I skipped the last few chapters because I just didn't want to hear any more... book could be 2/3 the length.

Bad.

Revisado: 09-03-19

I really, really, really wanted to hear this story. I read other bad reviews and listened to the preview - I thought "I can put up w the shitty narration" and I went ahead & down loaded the book....

The bad narration is one thing - he reads his book like a really bad prose poet, trying to sell his digressive, cliche and way too abundant similes and metaphors. It seems like this author has read WAY too much Hunter S Thompson or other prosaic writers, and fails miserably at it.

Just tell the story dummy.

I give up. A much better WSOP book is Varconi's (?) Positively Fifth Street.

This guy stinks on ice. Like a long dead catfish, festering in the Vegas sun, it's bloated & rotten & gaseous body collecting flies and repelling passers by with its death stench & grotesqueness. (hate that? you'll hate this book)

Terrible performance

Revisado: 05-29-19

I couldn't wait for this book to show up on audible. it was one my favorite books at one time. this reading is distracting. The voices and impressions awful. I'm forcing myself to finish it, but can only do so in short bursts. I wish someone would just read it straight and not "perform" so obnoxiously. yuck.

wth

Revisado: 01-20-19

I'm on chapter 6 and all this stupid book seems to be is an endless list of people who died and their tangential connections to other people who died. Is there a point to this story? Super annoying. I wish the author had "caught a bullet" before he published this garbage.

Almost un-listenable

Revisado: 03-19-18

This book is a meditation on conspiracy. It is not - as I wish it would have been- a narrative recounting of the fascinating story of Hogan v Gawker. Instead it's chock full of digressions and way too many Machiavellian quotes and boring history lessons.

The author may be a fine writer, but he reads terribly in a voice that sometimes is so nasally snot-filled and phlegmy that it's gross.

I have over 3hrs left. I am so interested in the actual story that I may make it to the end... but it's tough.

great story

Revisado: 07-10-17

It took me some time to get used to the authors reading of the book... occasionally he sounded slurry...
