Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

My child was assigned this book in school, so I decided to listen to it so we could discuss it as a family. I ended up really enjoying it!

What did you like best about this story?

Just a fun, thought provoking book.

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

I have not listened to any other John Ritter narations, but I thought he did a really great job with this book - got the expressions of 11th graders down great!

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

I listened to it over the course of about a week.

Any additional comments?

The book raises a lot of interesting issues - e.g., is Stargirl admirable, or would you criticize some of the things she did. Should she be emulated or not? Why did people shun her at school? Etc.

Would you consider the audio edition of Alexander Hamilton to be better than the print version?

Using the audio book in my car kept me going through this book whereas I might have drifted off into other things reading the book given the heft of the book.

What did you like best about this story?

This was a fascinating biography and a fascinating insights into the revolutionary and post-revolutionary period that I now realize I knew little about. The personal story was really interesting, as were the political issues of the day that Hamilton grappled with.

Which character – as performed by Scott Brick – was your favorite?

I thought Scott Brick did a fine job. I know some others feel he had a bit of a monotone but I really liked his delivery - it was crisp, clear and consistent through out - really good!

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

NO WAY! This is a heavy book. I didn't listen to it all the time - sometimes needed lighter fare on my drive home - e.g., if I was tired after a long day.

Any additional comments?

This is a truly incredible book - a masterpiece! I am surprised at the amount of original primary material referenced in the book - letters, diaries and the like that give real insight into the actions and motivations of the people. I was listening to the Hamilton musical album at the same time, which made it really enjoyable - to see how much of the book was referenced in the musical!

Gives you an inside view to state government

Revisado: 01-28-17

Any additional comments?

This is a very interesting memoir about what it is like to be inside state government. Of course, the salacious details about Mark Sanford are interesting, but I found that even without that angle I really enjoyed what this writer had to say. The narrator does a fabulous job imitating the voices of various state legislators/blow hards.

Any additional comments?

Hearing Steve Martin's personal and intelligent review of his early years and rise to fame is a real treat. It leaves you with a lot to think about on many levels.
