great story, slow reading
Revisado: 01-02-12
Where does A Princess of Mars rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
this is a interesting story. I found the reading a bit slow and thus made it hard for me to stay focused. overall, worth the credit!

Historia
By the time Dostoevsky was 40, he had spent four years in prison and a further four years in the army as punishment for his part in a political conspiracy. His health was broken. He was gaunt, fervid, anxiety-ridden, and close to bankruptcy. It was in this state he wrote Notes from the Underground, a masterpiece of the psychology of theoutsider.

Not his best work

I found this book a bit dull and lacking. The reader doesn´t help.

Historia
In the early 13th century, a simple nomad chieftain managed to cobble together a powerful kingdom in the highlands of northern Asia, which was subsequently to challenge the greatest powers of the day. He was triumphant in all directions. This leader was Timujin, whose name meant "Iron Man". He became Genghis Khan, "Universal Ruler", the greatest conqueror ever known - a warrior feared from the British Isles to the tip of the Korean peninsula.

thorough and interesting
Revisado: 06-03-07
this is a really good autobiography of Genghis Khan. In a concise manner, the author is able to give you a clear perspective of GK and how he developed his great empire.
The reader is particularly good and makes listening to the book quite agreeable.
This is a great read if you like to learn about history.

Historia
Roger Lowenstein, the bestselling author of Buffett, captures Long-Term's roller-coaster ride in gripping detail. Drawing on confidential internal memos and interviews with dozens of key players, Lowenstein crafts a story that reads like a first-rate thriller from beginning to end. He explains not just how the fund made and lost its money, but what it was about the personalities of Long-Term's partners, the arrogance of their mathematical certainties, and the late-nineties culture of Wall Street that made it all possible.

longer than needed
Revisado: 04-23-07
while this is an interesting read, it could have been a shorter book without compromising the message. The first part was ok, the middle dragged on too much and the ending was very strong. Perhaps the problem was too much detail.
At any rate, the book is very well documented and is able to put you in the situation quite easily.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants to see first hand how being smart is not always a garantee to success, but rather business sense

Entertaining and really well narrated
Revisado: 04-01-07
this is a great read. It is perhaps more interesting than the movie 300. A bit gory in some places, but overall, it is an excelent read.

Historia
The publication of a new translation by Fagles is a literary event. His translations of both the Iliad and Odyssey have sold hundreds of thousands of copies and have become the standard translations of our era. Now, with this stunning modern verse translation, Fagles has reintroduced Virgil's Aeneid to a whole new generation, and completed the classical triptych at the heart of Western civilization.

not to be listened
Revisado: 03-26-07
I believe some books are better read than listened to --this is one of them. The story is great, but it is difficult to follow when read to. Perhaps it is the accent.

This is a great overview into TR´s early years. You read about his overachiving attitude and his dedicated pursuit of excelence in everything he did.
Can be a bit slow at times, but overall, it is worth the read.

This book reads like a movie. The pace is quick and interesting throughout. There are interesting insights about brokers and the type of lifestyle they lead -- or rather, would like to live.
