To his customers and neighbors on 125th street, Ray Carney is an upstanding salesman of reasonably priced furniture, making a decent life for himself and his family. He and his wife Elizabeth are expecting their second child, and if her parents on Striver's Row don't approve of him or their cramped apartment across from the subway tracks, it's still home. Few people know he descends from a line of uptown hoods and crooks, and that his façade of normalcy has more than a few cracks in it. Cracks that are getting bigger all the time.

Expected a little more thrill!
Revisado: 12-28-21
Took me down a tour of Harlem from 1960's! Three stories from the life of a man leading a double life as an entrepreneur with an inclination to get involved with crooks!
Overall, the three stories didn't not feel as thrilling but the performance was fabulous. My first book from Colson, on to the Pulitzer prize winning work next.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 25
Banking on It is the firsthand account of one woman's quest to rebuild Britain's broken banking system. After a lengthy career at the top of some of Britain's leading banks, Anne Boden had become disillusioned with the status quo - the financial crash had broken trust in the whole sector, but there seemed to be little appetite to make the most of emerging technologies to revolutionise customer experience. Increasingly frustrated with the inertia within the industry, she decided to shake things up herself by doing something totally radical - setting up her own bank.

Tale of sheer perseverance
Revisado: 01-12-21
Loved the story of Starling. Can only imagine how easy would have been for Anne to just give up and move on in the face of one adversity after another. Kudos to her perseverance and doggedness to not give up.

Best memoir I have read!
Revisado: 05-02-19
Phenomenal read! I had no idea about the origins of Nike before reading the book and was blown away by Phil Knight's honest and powerful writing. Phil's passion comes alive through an equally amazing performance from the Norbert, the narrator. Learnt more than a few life lessons along the way and feel inspired to act upon them.
Highly Highly recommended!

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Best audio book experience thus far.
Revisado: 08-06-18
This is is by far the best time I have had listening to an audio book. Super engaging in a voice I already like and enjoy listening to. A look into a world and time I wasn't too aware of. Thank you for an enriching experience. I recommend this to all friends I want to get into audio books.
