Predictable twists
Revisado: 06-16-19
The twists in the modern half of the story were so predictable i kept thinking I'd read the book before. But the characters were good and the actual writing was too so i listened for the entirety.

When 1919 began, the city of Chicago seemed on the verge of transformation. Modernizers had an audacious, expensive plan to turn the city from a brawling, unglamorous place into "the Metropolis of the World". But just as the dream seemed within reach, pandemonium broke loose and the city’s highest ambitions were suddenly under attack by the same unbridled energies that had given birth to them in the first place.

Tough deciding between 3⭐ & 4⭐
Revisado: 04-08-18
Fantastic opening chapter. Bogs slightly while filling in the background. Then picks back up. Shapiro is a good reader, but not.. um, let's say not one makes his own mark on the story. Which, as I consider it, with non fiction, that's not a bad thing. Is the author's sub-title premise proven? Debatable. Still an interesting read /listen, not a waste of time.

Meet Ove. He's a curmudgeon - the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him "the bitter neighbor from hell". But behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness.

With the premiere of two new film versions of the Snow White tale, Blackstone enters the fray with its own adult, edgy, and not altogether serious full-cast exposé of fairy-taledom. At last it can be told! Was Snow White really as pure as the driven snow? Did her allegedly wicked stepmother get a bum rap from the Grimm brothers? What went on behind the closed Dutch doors of the dwarves’ cottage? How many handsome princes does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Fun spoof.

This is not to be taken seriously! 😉 The performances are really good. There address silly cross cultural references that amuse.

Mindset is one of those rare audio books that can help you make positive changes in your life and at the same time see the world in a new way. A leading expert in motivation and personality psychology, Carol Dweck has discovered in more than 20 years of research that our mindset is not a minor personality quirk: it creates our whole mental world. It explains how we become optimistic or pessimistic. It shapes our goals, our attitude toward work, and ultimately predicts whether or not we will fulfull our potential.

Evidently Not the Researcher I Thought
Revisado: 10-28-15
Any additional comments?
I am disappointed at the time lost listening to this. As other reviewers have commented, it gets very repetitive of the same information. The stories are repetitive of the same points.
I only listened to Chapter 7. I had two more hours of listening to do and Dr. Dwenk said something that just put me off. In that chapter, she made that statement that the Columbine killers had been bullied. This myth, created by the media during the immediate aftermath, has been refuted many times. (Indeed in Dave Cullen's excellent book, "Columbine," it is revealed that on occasions Harris and Klebold were bullies.) I recognize that this may seem a niggling complaint. But here is someone who is presenting herself as an expert researcher and she passes on wrong information. It just stopped me in my tracks. So, while I don't doubt Dr. Dwenk's expertise in her field I just lost total interest in what she had to say going forward.

America was the undisputed world power in 1947, just after the War, and New York was the center, and the center of everything from the arts, business, culture, and just living. The ambitious came here to get their start and it was the age of the New Yorker, at its finest. By 1963, marked by the Kennedy Assassination, that power drifted away with the Dodgers and Giants to California and Fortune 500 companies to Texas and elsewhere. But in this period, New York was the City of Ageless Grace.

Not worth the $1.95
Revisado: 05-22-13
What disappointed you about New York: The Ageless City?
This was more about his memories and his opinions. I was expecting something more ... well, I guess, scholarly.
Would you ever listen to anything by Deaver Brown again?
His voice wasn't bad, but the production quality was horrible. Sounded like it had been recorded via answering machine.
