What made the experience of listening to Last Girl Before Freeway the most enjoyable?

It seemed like a compendium of Ms Rivers own works. I kept thinking "Wait I have heard this before." Skip the book if you have read Ms Rivers books because you have heard it before .. from Joan.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

She died .. duh

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Where does This Was a Man rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

In top 5 at least

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Took me a few days to realize it was the last. I am sure the author tired of them but as a fan I could just about start over again!

Have you listened to any of Alex Jennings’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Not sure

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not really .. it is smooth story telling at its best

Sadly this is a guy who could lead this country from the front not the back but happily he is not going to subject himself, and his family, to the idiocy of campaigning. He tells the story that the internet and crazies from both sides want to cloud in obfuscation and outright lies and distortions.
Leon is my new hero. Thank you Leon for giving us your life.

AVOID THIS BOOK

Revisado: 10-08-14

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I have no idea what story about because the reader sounds like a chipmunk on speed speaking an unintelligible language. I finally had to give up and delete. Waste of money!! Audible should never contract with reader for any other books

Would you ever listen to anything by David Mitchell again?

Sadly I have no idea because I could not understand what this book was about

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of the narrators?

Anyone that could be understood!

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Anger that I paid for a book the reader made unintelligible

Any additional comments?

What a waste of time and money

If you could sum up Sons of Wichita in three words, what would they be?

A scary family

What other book might you compare Sons of Wichita to and why?

The Godfather series

What does Allen O'Reilly bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Nothing -- which is good for a reader .. I don't want to analyze the reader any more than I analyze the sound of my voice when I read .. with the exception of Judy Kaye who IS Kelsey Milhone of the Grafton series. I will not read a Grafton book because it can not be as good as Judy Kaye

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Inside the right wing finance machine

Any additional comments?

If you liked Freakonomics or any of Gladwell's books then you will love this analysis

Would you listen to The Price of Politics again? Why?

I would not listen again because th subject does not need further review or explanation

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

How does he do it? How does Woodward get these politicos to give him the detail and inner comments on this subjects. It really is a 'you are there' narrative.

This is a fairly good Mankell but unless you are a fan of his style I would skip. It does not have the same strength of character development he uses in the Wollander novels

Why he became The Devil

Revisado: 10-30-11

Being some one who was suspect of most of Cheney's positions during his V Presidency I thought this would be a good way to get insight.

Like Rumsfeld's memoir neither man really did much but blame some one else for failures and take responsibility for successes. The most telling part of Cheney's tale is his negative observations of the abuse of power by Nixon staffers but when it becomes his power similar transgressions are justified.

Cheney is a stalwart patriot BUT he is convinced it has to be his way or it is wrong.

As a man who respects guns his attitude toward the US global position is to use weapons to annihilate any and all enemies.

Diplomacy is for the weak.

He strongly believes if you have the weapons you should use them.
Quickly.

After the book I am even more convinced that Mr Cheney's views are badly flawed.

I am sure every listener will hear what he/she want to hear. I heard a man who believes the US is NOT the world's peace maker it is the world's police force charged with enforcing our laws!
