Good quality, cheap price

I question the validity

Revisado: 11-10-24

I've never left a negative review until now. I immediately purchased this book after finishing her episode on Armchair Expert. I wasn't sure if I really got the sense that she is a sociopath during her appearance. Upon listening to this book, something about the whole thing just registered to me as disingenuous. I just couldn't shake it. I very well could be wrong & I normally wouldn't even mention my skepticism but she's built a career on being a sociopath so I at least figured I would share. Also, there's the possibility that i was subconsciously picking up on the sociopathy as disingenuous since it is a trait of the disease but I just file it away as garden variety narcissism🤷🏻‍♂️

Quite a Ride

Revisado: 08-14-24

I love history but struggle to find nonfiction writers who keep me intrigued... That is, until now. This book is culturally rich & written in a way that feels true to the time. I really felt like i began to know these historical figures & the story of the World's Fair kinda reinvigorated a sense of civic pride in me.

5 stars

Revisado: 05-30-23

I give this 5 stars assuming it's nonfiction. if it's fiction, I imagine it would've had a bit more flare or bear action but I will say that this story was fascinating & kept me wondering what was next.

Idk

Revisado: 05-30-23

Idk why but I really liked this story. I stumbled across this title & I'm glad I did. I very much enjoyed it & I don't read a lot of fiction. I think it was due to the story having several secondary anecdotes.

Fine

Revisado: 05-30-23

It was fine. Not great but fine. I make short films & I actually felt inspired by the story as a filmmaker but I would completely rewrite the dialogue.

Seemingly Honest Account

Revisado: 05-17-23

After reading If I Did It, I Helped OJ Get Away With Murder, & Murder In Brentwood, Murder In Brentwood feels like the most genuine seemingly honest account of events. The 3 books give you different perspectives from the prosecution & defense. The only thing that everyone seems to agree on is OJ's guilt!

Another Side

Revisado: 05-17-23

After listening to If I did it, I then picked up this book before finishing with Mark Furman's book. The 3 show the different perspectives of the events. If you read all 3, you begin to develop an understanding of how this perfect storm occurred. Of course, take everything with a grain of salt .

He Did It

Revisado: 05-14-23

I'm sorry to the family. The whole book is a peek into his mind. You can't be sure how much is true & how much is just him painting himself in an innocent light. Nonetheless, it is fascinating & the narrator did a fantastic job.

From One Trucker To Another

Revisado: 05-13-23

I just got Into the trucking industry so naturally I've been seeking content related to my new job. This book really surprised me. I went in with low expectations & came out iimpressed. The story was good & the narrator did a wonderful job of embodying the characters in the story. I listened to it on the road & I have no complaints.

Interesting Concept!

Revisado: 05-13-23

I love the idea of a contemporary Lord of the Flies, which is essentially what this book is. I've never read the original because I got the impression that it may seem dated. I enjoyed the book & would enjoy seeing a movie follow up on this tale.
The narrators also did well but many of the female characters too closely resembled each other's voices which threw me off a little but considering how many characters there are in the story, I can't hold it against her.
