Five Stars Are Not Enough

Revisado: 12-04-24

Probably the best book ever written, and told here with great narration. One cannot go wrong by reading or listening to this book.

Pete Rose Belongs in the H.O.F.!!!

Revisado: 05-21-23

Great book about one of the best players in baseball. Certainly the best post-1960 player. The book focuses greatly on his relationship and admiration for his dad, and the beginning of his career. Moves fairly quickly over his years with the “Big Red Machine” and virtually no mention of his gambling scandal. If you are wanting to learn about what motivates Pete Rose, and how Rose thinks then you will enjoy the book.

Great Read

Great book with a good history of the vessel and it’s restoration. Also gives good background on many of the sailors, their tragic death, and eventual burial.

Great story and superb narration

Revisado: 12-28-22

The best book by far on Hank Williams. Gives great detail of the life of Hank Williams, without going into the minutia that ruins so many biographies.

Insightful

Revisado: 10-13-22

This is a great book. I have watch documentaries and read various articles on the Donner party, however I had no idea that things were as sad and tragic as they were. Other reviews are negative toward the narration, and I don’t understand that. It was not spectacular, but it was not terrible either. This is well worth the 9 or 10 hours of listening.

Detailed book; awful narration.

Revisado: 08-28-21

The book goes into considerable detail;too much detail in fact. The book is as much about the songs of Hank Williams, as it is about the life of Hank. Just too much minutiae. As with all books on this subject, the story of Hank Williams is truly sad, amazing, and disturbing. It’s the prime example of greed, disloyalty, distrust, and an early demise.

The book did have certain details that I had never heard before. So, it’s worth the listen for that. But overall, the book was just too long, and focused on minor details. Finally, THE NARRATOR WAS TERRIBLE. He speaks like a robot and puts no emotion into the characters.

Not Worth It

Revisado: 07-25-21

This is a terrible book, and giving it even one star is overrating it. It is very factually different than GWTW. It’s almost like this author never even researched nor read the Margaret Mitchell classic. For instance, it is clear in GWTW, that Rhett was in the artillery. However, in this book, it is stated several times that Rhett was in the cavalry under Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest. Additionally, it is stated in GWTW that Ashley lost Twelve Oaks for failure to pay taxes. In this book, Ashley returns to Twelve Oaks and attempts to revive it. These are just two examples of the inconsistencies Between the two books. The author in this book tries to intertwine all the characters in GWTW but he’s very sloppy. It’s almost as if he is trying to re-create the characters and redefine them. There are too many twists and turns to follow, and it’s almost as if he’s trying to copy Charles Dickens style.

I do not see how in the world this book was authorized and endorsed by the Margaret Mitchell estate. It is terrible, and if I could have given it 1/4 star I would have done so.
