For our time

Revisado: 09-14-24

Applebaum makes a compelling argument for the time of law and against collusion. We need to fight against those who would like to destroy our agency.

Overall gave me a better understanding of Afghanistan and the difficult life there. I’m amazed at the resilience that people can have.

Good History Review of the US

Revisado: 02-02-23

This was a good Birdseye view of the history of the US. It was detailed enough to cover most important historical occurrences, but not so detailed that the telling became bogged down.

Refreshingly Sincere and Thoughful

Revisado: 08-01-22

The path this man took through his search of truth and faith was engaging and informative. I learned of ways to approach and view mine and other’s faith in new, healthy, and inclusive ways. I learned of charitable thinking that expands my understanding of my reality as well as other’s living reality. I learned that the religious history of the world and learning about different ways of sincere worship helps me understand and love my fellow travelers better. Last, I believe that a well told, true life experience such as this is the perfect antidote to the divisive political polarization that is happening in today’s society and will be a mind expanding experience for others as it was for me.

One of His Best!

Revisado: 03-12-19

There is no other author quite like Prachett! This is fun a fun and engaging story with the addition of containing such cleaver and tight communication that you can probably open it to any page, start to read, and be thoroughly entertained! Definitely a book I'll read more than once.

So much light shed on truth!

Revisado: 02-15-18

It was very refreshing to listen to this book and get a perspective on the history of the United States that ran just before my birth and that I could only learn about through the history books and talking with my elders. I think it is important to realize that even first hand accounts are colored by views and news stories that may not have shown the real truth. I'm very glad that Elizabeth Smith Freedman's memoirs were preserved and declassified.

An education on apartheid and South Africa

Revisado: 06-28-17

I was an adult during the 1980's and 1990's at the ending of apartheid. I remember Nelson Mandela's release but what I don't remember was what apartheid really was. I never really had an understanding of it. I feel this book was very enlightening to me in this area so man many years later.

Besides the historical context it gives, the life of Trevor Noah was very interesting and was worth reading about. I would have preferred he leave out the swear words though.

Auto Biography all living in USA

Revisado: 10-18-15

Somehow in my education I missed the requirement to read this book. It is the most compelling testament of the evils of slavery in the US during the 19th century I have read to date because it is a first hand account that is extremely well thought out.

Good Life Advice

Revisado: 01-20-15

Loved the book but didn't care for the reader's "female" impersonation. Would be better with a distinction using à natural tone.
