FANTASTIC WORK

Revisado: 03-31-20

Enjoyed this audiobook enormously. Smart, perceptive and humorous observations of current global social and political conditions. Narrator is wonderful as well. Thanks for the pleasure. I am totally in agreement with the author that for the last 6 years THE WORLD IS MOVING BACK TO the USSR.

Best of writing and narration

Revisado: 02-25-20

Exceptionally well and deeply researched history of USSR and artistic history of the renowned Soviet composer. I can only admire M. T. Anderson's ability to produce such a profound, strong and honest portrait of one of the most complex, exceptionally talented, dedicated composer, a brilliant intellectual and compassionate human being as well as the confused and tragic history of my country.

Absence of PDF file with fotographs

Revisado: 09-25-19

This is very important book, which must be read, or at least its excerpts, by all dog owners and particularly by those who plan to adopt a rescue dog. Very well written and with a dose of humor. Its talented and generous author and narrator must be congratulated, except the audio version of this book has been rendered itself useless by omitting a very important PDF attachment with photographs of dogs, to which the author continuously refers in her book. These omitted PDF with photographs form part of Kindle and paperback versions of the same book. Without them, it is impossible to illustrate the instructions of author. Such poor publishing of audiobook is not fare for the author.

A brilliant novel and its superb narration

Revisado: 02-28-18

I enjoyed very much this smart, tender and sophisticated novel. It is exceptionally good literary writing, and I have a similar complement for its narrator. This well-written fictional work exposed often ignored controversies of many-dimensional gaps in family and society: historical, cultural, political and generational. Its human aspects and its moral repercussions are bold and frank. The scent of humor in otherwise very dramatic circumstances emanates from suspenseful plot construction, and a Wandering Jew continues his endless search.

Historical, poetic and beautifully script

Revisado: 03-05-17

A beautiful dramatic artistic concept and an honest depiction of Cuban regime and its similarities with the Nazi Germany. Romantic scenes are tender and delicate. This novel is written as a poem to a human spirit.

Spy dishes of Anthony Bourdane

Revisado: 02-17-17

The spy craft of Jason Matthews would be tasty, sexy and entertaining if not so revolting. Also, the large number of absurdly mispronounced Russian words complicates and confuses the reader. The culinary culminations over grotesque violence and sex are only repulsive.

False revelations of Opportunist

Revisado: 01-12-17

What disappointed you about Cuban Revelations?

The author presents himself as a leftist journalist, but he is not a true leftist for he is an apologist for a dictatorial Castro regime. The author is only an opportunist willing to help the dictators. If the author would be from the left, he would defend the democratic opposition and murdered Christian Democrats, such as Oswaldo Paya, instead of promoting Castro’s Cardinal Ortega. This author would not completely ignore all the abuses and human rights violations in Cuba for last 57 years of Castro rule. Instead, the author praised Cuban's ruling dictators, especially Raul, because it is instrumental for the benefits for himself and his family in Cuba. The truth is if he attempted to criticize the regime, he would be thrown out of Cuba and his family would be persecuted. His interviews with Cuban people are worthless because the prisoners and guards in Cuban paradise, just like in Soviet Gulags, will not tell the truth to a foreign correspondent unless they are suicidal and are happy to become persecuted for providing this information to a western journalist. The author also ignored the fact that the whole island and its economy are the property of Cuban military, lead by the children of Raul and Fidel. They will assure the continuation of the same systematic abuses for many years into the future. Blaming the US brocade for all economic disasters in Cuba is dishonest for the rest of the world is trading with Cuba, including my country. The real problem is precisely in dictators who have appropriated all Cuban national resources and initiative.

Good description of Cuban expats

Revisado: 01-12-17

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Very good narration with Cuban accent, describes well the confused mentality of young generation of Cubans. They are not here and not there, this is the problem.
