Enthralling story about Fox News and Trump

Revisado: 10-22-20

I loved this audiobook. I learned so much and was both shocked and energized. The author knows this subject better than anybody and I’m glad he took the trouble to share it with us. My only quibble is the author’s narration style. He frequently got over excited about things and would start to over-act, trying to overdo the drama. But much better than being a boring reader so I accept how breathless he often got. Highly recommended.

Important story about Miller. Hard work to listen

Revisado: 10-22-20

I learned a lot about Stephen Miller but it was not all that pleasant to listen to. The beginning about his family background was too much information and the end was rather hurried with less detail than I wanted.
The narration underwhelmed me. A bit flat as if a student was being paid simply to read it in somewhat of a monotone. However I would recommend this audiobook to others.

Moving story by community hero

Revisado: 09-06-20

The author has a very moving story to tell. He also narrates it - great to hear his voice despite his rather hurried style. The book is not very long and that’s good compared to many other audiobooks that are twice as long. An essential history for today.

A masterpiece

Revisado: 08-27-20

A very moving book, excellently narrated.
The last chapters moved me to tears.
As the US edges dangerously towards armed civil war caused by unchecked police executions this book should be widely read by all. A very profound work indeed

Much Better Than I Expected

Revisado: 07-05-20

Well read and very interestingly written, I enjoyed every minute of this book.
It’s scrupulously fair but very factual.
I ended feeling more sympathetic to Melania than I expected but doubt it will change any minds. Highly recommended

Not much about Trump however

Revisado: 06-07-20

I thought this would be the definitive work about Trump and Deutsche Bank.
But it’s not. It’s an exhausting detailed history of the bank and its endless personalities. Just TMI - Too Much Information. You need a glossary to remember who the author is talking about!
Skip to the last 6 hours to learn more about Trump but this book needs a Condensed Version.

Thrilling story and narration

Revisado: 05-13-20

Weaving a fantastic story about the oil and gas industry Rachel constructs a compelling narrative that kept me enthralled. With the drama of Russian corruption I was never bored for a minute. If only she knew that just two years later the entire global oil and gas industry would crash due to the coronavirus pandemic. Rachel’s skillful narration and voice are the icing on the cake. One of the best audiobooks I have listened to.

Overacting Narrator

Revisado: 05-05-16

I like music and thought I'd like Greenberg's Lecture Series.
Unfortunately he spoils the content by persistent overacting. He overemphasizes too many words in his loud unsympathetic voice with heavy American accent. After a while I found this too annoying to continue.
What a pity they did not choose a better narrator who could took calmly yet interestingly to blend with the subject of music.

Charming but out of date

Revisado: 06-15-15

I'm a big fan of Bill Bryson but this is one you can skip. He makes a solo trip around Europe in 1990 and compares it to one he made with a young backpacker in 1973. He offers many interesting comments along the way but his effete mid-Atlantic accent and mispronunciation of German names can grate at times. But it's all way out of date now in 2015. Listen to his wonderful Thunderbolt Kid instead.

Enthralling Magnum Opus

Revisado: 06-08-15

Absolutely essential listening or reading by anyone who has ever experienced the wide range of troubles call Anxiety.
It's an encyclopedic and engrossing story that is sometimes endearingly
Comic. Mr Stossel will remain a giant in this field by sharing his entire personal story - we can never thank him enough.
