Great biography of Colonel Tom Parker

Revisado: 03-14-24

Well written, clear bio about a very complicated man. Colonel Tom Parker is mostly known as Elvis Presley’s manager, and most of the book is about that, but the beginning, before he meets Elvis, is fascinating too. I really enjoyed this one. The reader is excellent too, and alters his voice for different people in a way that helped me to understand dialogue.

Great biography of L Ron Hubbard

Revisado: 02-12-24

Mostly, L Ron Hubbard comes out looking like a bad guy, confidence man, and rascal. But, there is also another side to him which this author does show you, basically a brilliant, charming, and manipulative leader. I saw a podcast on YouTube by Chris Shelton. Shelton himself is an interesting person, and he was in Scientology. Shelton had on an another guy, Dr Yuval Laor, who said Hubbard might have had temporal lobe epilepsy, which would’ve made it possible for Hubbard to both be a con man and simultaneously sincere about Scientology. The symptoms of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and Hubbard’s strange behavior overlap, so it’s a very interesting unproven theory. The theory was in the back of my mind when listening to the book. Hubbard was clearly a highly complicated, brilliant, and sometimes dangerous figure. Great book. I enjoyed listening. The reader is excellent.

Entertaining dystopian post-apocalyptic fiction

Revisado: 01-28-24

I like the characters. This is part of a larger series, and the other books are great, too. They have funny dialogue, there is loss, overcoming obstacles, journeys. Themes of friendship, love, and humor populate the dialogue despite it being similar/like a zombie fiction novel. The author and reader are both extremely talented. The story makes sense, but also contains surprises. Very enjoyable.

Helpful

Revisado: 07-12-23

This book is helpful. It describes how other players’ self-perception, and conversely how you present yourself, influences the decision making process of your opponents. He backs it up with statistics which support raising and folding in uncomfortable situations.

Enjoyable, well written and fun

Revisado: 06-25-23

I really enjoyed this zombie novel(s). You get a lot for your money-credit. I am hard to please with fiction and return a lot of fiction novels after listening for around 20 minutes when I start to predict too much of the upcoming text to enjoy the book. This book found a good balance between developing a great story and being surprising. Not boring.

Included with my Audible subscription. Great!

Revisado: 02-22-23

I really loved this book. The x-files are great. I understood all the characters well, and the bad guys were solid. Being able to listen to this as a book included in my membership keeps me with audible.

One of the best

Revisado: 02-17-23

This is one of the best audio books I’ve ever listened too. The reader is magnificent. The story is thoughtful and plays with the undead-vampire-zombie-virus type concept in an inventive and entertaining way. I won’t give any plot spoilers, but it is certainly interesting and different from the movie.

Enjoyable

Revisado: 11-04-22

This is a kind of mix of super soldier and zombie genres. It was well written, and although over the top at times, the characters were interesting. The voice actor is excellent.

Love the author Jacques Philippe

Revisado: 09-08-22

Jacques Philippe is the absolute best living Catholic writer with maybe the exception of Pope Benedict the XVI. Loved this book. The reader was good, but occasionally was a little distracting.
