Historia
Determined to pursue his passion for undercover work wherever it led, Stallworth finally lands in Salt Lake City, UT. Once again, he’s an outsider–not only as a Black man on a mostly white police force but also an unapologetic non-believer in a state dominated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. But soon after his first drug bust in the Beehive, Stallworth makes a startling discovery–Bloods and Crips are infiltrating Mormon Country, threatening to turn the deeply conservative community into a hotbed of crime.

A damning and fascinating insight into the failures of politicians and community leaders.
Revisado: 10-24-24
As a Utah resident on the West Side of the Salt Lake Valley, I never thought there was a serious gang problem here. Stallworth disabused me of that notion. I was not surprised about, but still infuriated by, the insistence on maintaining the best PR optics by local politicians, church leaders, and other community leaders as Stallworth tried to solve the gang problem as a gang cop.
These leaders cared more about sweeping problems under the rug and their reputation than the best interests of the community, and always have in Utah. Furthermore, this book explores the conditions behind what creates gang activity and what can be done to address it, the systemic failures by police and government towards minority communities in the US, and gang culture as an act of protest against those broken systems.
Stallworth is a proponent of law and order, and in no way glorifies gang culture, but helps us understand what makes it tick and how it can be tackled. Highly recommend!

Historia
Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

Masterpiece of storytelling
Revisado: 05-12-21
This is the most engrossing and entertaining rendition of the Germanic Eddic myth. NG brings the myths to life and emphasizes the art of storytelling while faithfully conveying the original content. This is how the myths were meant to be experienced by the ancients--by a master story teller.

Great book
Revisado: 06-06-19
Great book, well performed. The narrator does a good job with the different voices, though the singing gets old quickly. Overall, still, a very enjoyable story.

Historia
Earl Nightingale said that he came to his “aha” moment at the age of twenty-nine while reading Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich - specifically the words “we become what we think about”. Shortly thereafter he recorded The Strangest Secret which went on to earn a gold record and became the largest selling non-entertainment recording in record industry history. Think and Grow Rich is the standard against which all motivational books are measured. The book (and audiobook) has helped millions of people create their own success and realize their dreams.

This is not Think and Grow Rich
Revisado: 08-23-18
This is a 45 minute synopsis of Think and Grow Rich. It is not the whole book. The title is very misleading. Do yourself a favor and make sure you get the real book, the full book.
