Mike Krzyzewski, known worldwide as “Coach K,” is a five-time national champion at Duke, the NCAA's all-time leader in victories with nearly 1,200, and the first man to lead Team USA to three Olympic basketball gold medals. Through unprecedented access to Krzyzewski’s best friends, closest advisers, fiercest adversaries, and generations of his players and assistants, three-time New York Times bestselling author Ian O’Connor takes you behind the Blue Devil curtain with a penetrating examination of the great, but flawed leader as he closes out his iconic career.

College basketball fans will enjoy
Revisado: 03-03-22
Ian O'Connor does an excellent portrayal of the life of Coach K, the good , bad and ugly. The background of his youth is crucial to understanding the drive in Coach K. College basketball fanatics are familiar with Coach K profane vulgar treatment of his players and others that can border on abuse and the subsequent repentance shown. Casual fans might be surprised to see that side of Coach K. A great positive of this book is the further expose of Coach Knight and another reason to loathe him.
The narrator does a great job telling the story with great tone and pacing but it's obvious he is not a subject matter expert with the frequent mispronunciation of key character names throughout the book. It is a shame that it is such a distraction from an otherwise very good narration.

Toby Fleishman thought he knew what to expect when he and his wife of almost fifteen years separated: weekends and every other holiday with the kids, some residual bitterness, the occasional moment of tension in their co-parenting negotiations. He could not have predicted that one day, in the middle of his summer of sexual emancipation, Rachel would just drop their two children off at his place and simply not return. He had been working so hard to find equilibrium in his single life. The winds of his optimism, long dormant, had finally begun to pick up. Now this.

Revisado: 12-10-18
Exhaustive review of Belichick. Fairly good accounting of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Way too long. Would also help if the narrator could pronounce players names correctly.

Is it possible to write a sidesplitting novel about the breakup of the perfect marriage? If the writer is Nora Ephron, the answer is a resounding yes. For in this inspired confection of adultery, revenge, group therapy, and pot roast, the creator of Sleepless in Seattle reminds us that comedy depends on anguish as surely as a proper gravy depends on flour and butter.

Acclaimed scientist Hope Jahren has built three laboratories in which she's studied trees, flowers, seeds, and soil. Her first book might have been a revelatory treatise on plant life. Lab Girl is that, but it is also so much more. Because in it, Jahren also shares with us her inspiring life story, in prose that takes your breath away.

Quirky , but worth it
Revisado: 08-06-18
Quirky memoir of a strong willed woman with midwest values and up bringing. Well written and insightful. Great journey of the ups and downs of a woman in science. Some of the botany science gets tedious but necessary to understand the author's fascination and commitment to science.

A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, The Sun Also Rises introduces two of Hemingway’s most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. In his first great literary masterpiece, Hemingway portrays an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions.

Classic Hemingway
Revisado: 07-31-18
I loved this. Perfect novel that stands the test of time with a brilliant yet understated narration by William Hurt. I believe Hurt narrated as he interpreted Hemingway delivery of the story.
I respectfully disagree with the other reviews that did not like the narration , it worked for me.

Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University.

When Amanda Gallo, fresh from the backwater of local TV, lands the anchor job of her dreams at FAIR News, she thinks she’s finally made it: a six-figure salary, wardrobe allowance, plenty of on-air face time, and a chance to realize her dreams, not to mention buy herself lunch. Instead, she finds her journalistic ideals shredded as she struggles to keep up with the issues in a ratings-crazed madhouse.

Narrator sounds like Camerota. Nice light hearted story of cable news. You can enjoy if you don’t take it as real life or biographical.

In 2006, an oddball group of bankers, traders and brokers from some of the world's largest financial institutions made a startling realization: Libor - the London interbank offered rate, which determines the interest rates on trillions in loans worldwide - was set daily by a small group of easily manipulated functionaries, and that they could reap huge profits by nudging it to suit their trading portfolios.

Wonky
Revisado: 01-17-18
Where does The Spider Network rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
An extremely detailed accounting of the Libor scandal. Interesting for finance professionals but I would imagine torture for those outside the industry. Hayes was a scapegoat for many of the ills of post Glass-Steagall. The author did extensive research on the subject matter but I felt he has a bias in his writing.
