Historia
During the first 15 years of colonial rule (1898–1913), a small group of Americans controlled the headhunting tribes who were wards of the nascent colonial government. These officials ignored laws, carved out fiefdoms, and brutalized (or killed) those who challenged their rule. John Early was cut from a different cloth. Battling colleagues and supervisors over their treatment of the mountain people, Early also had run-ins with lowland Filipino leaders like Manuel Quezon. Early's return as governor of the entire Cordillera was celebrated by all the tribes.

A Gripping Enthralling Story
Revisado: 08-13-23
In school, the only thing I learned about the Philippines was that Spain ruled that country for more than three hundred years. But this book has opened my eyes to so much more about the Philippines and the way American history and Philippine history come together. I was surprised to learn about the Igorots being displayed in world fairs. I liked how Woods developed the characters of the different people in the book. John Early is a man I would like to meet if he were around today. We heed officials with integrity who will stand up to bullies.
Anyone connected at all with the Philippines, or anyone interested in American history has to read this book. In fact, anyone who wants to listen to a page-turner of a book, this is one for you. Finally a true story where integrity wins out in the end.

Sadie hasn't had an easy life. Growing up on her own, she's been raising her sister, Mattie, in an isolated small town, trying her best to provide a normal life and keep their heads above water. But when Mattie is found dead, Sadie's entire world crumbles. After a somewhat botched police investigation, Sadie is determined to bring her sister's killer to justice and hits the road following a few meager clues to find him. When West McCray - a radio personality working on a segment about forgotten towns in America - overhears Sadie's story, he becomes obsessed with finding the girl.

Not for me
Revisado: 08-13-23
The ending wasn't worth listening to eight hours of this. The idea of a podcast and the going back and forth made this difficult for me.

Historia
Eric Clapton is far more than a rock star. Like Dylan and McCartney, he is an icon and a living legend. He has sold tens of millions of records, played sell-out concerts all over the world, and been central to the significant musical developments of his era. His guitar playing has seen him hailed as "God". Now, for the first time, Eric tells the story of his personal and professional journeys in this pungent, witty, and painfully honest autobiography.

Even if You don't Like Rock and Roll
Revisado: 08-13-23
I'm not a crazy fan of rock and roll, but Simon Vance made this autobiography worth listening to. Eric Clapton has had a remarkable life and even though I am too young to know a lot of the references and characters in the book, I enjoyed it. The roll of drugs and alcohol in his life, and the tragic death of his son, made portions of this book hard to listen to. It is a great story of how people can change.

Bill Homewood Rocks
Revisado: 08-13-23
52 hours is a long time to listen to a book. But Bill Homewood made every chapter come alive. An excellent book and great reading.
