Historia
At the dawn of the 20th century, a great confidence suffused America. Isaac Cline was one of the era's new men, a scientist who believed he knew all there was to know about the motion of clouds and the behavior of storms. The idea that a hurricane could damage the city of Galveston, Texas, where he was based, was to him preposterous, "an absurd delusion." It was 1900, a year when America felt bigger and stronger than ever before. Nothing in nature could hobble the gleaming city of Galveston, then a magical place that seemed destined to become the New York of the Gulf.

Historia
Defense attorney Mickey Haller is back, taking the long shot cases, where the chances of winning are one in a million. He agrees to represent a woman in prison for killing her husband, a sheriff’s deputy. Despite her conviction four years earlier, she still maintains her innocence. Haller enlists his half brother, retired LAPD Detective Harry Bosch, as investigator. Reviewing the case, Bosch sees something that doesn’t add up, and a sheriff’s department intent on bringing a quick search for justice in the killing of one of its own.

I loved the suspense and the unexpected turns. I especially appreciated the idea of helping a victim of unfair incarceration.

Insight and Understanding of How Mueller Report Evolved and Expert Advice on how it can be Improved.
Revisado: 05-18-24
Extremely well written narrative of the inside decisions made in the Mueller Investigation and Report. Written so non lawye//ordinary citizens can understand exactly what happened. Especially important is how Barr attempted (successfully) to undermine the integrity of the Report. Finally, suggestions for improvements to prevent foreign interference in American elections in the future. I highly recommend this book.

Historia
In Find Me the Votes, two years of immersive reporting by Isikoff and Klaidman has produced the most authoritative and dramatic account yet of a defeated president’s conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election and how a local Georgia prosecutor—a daughter of the civil rights movement—decided to indict him and his allies for his desperate attempt to hold on to power. From the beginning, Fani Willis saw Donald Trump’s crimes as a voting rights case, and an attempt by the former president to deprive the citizens of Georgia of the franchise, a right for which her forebears had bled.

Conspiracy to overturn election planned well before voting began.
Revisado: 04-06-24
The book could or should become a movie. It has a fascinating plot that is frighteningly close to being successful. It has well developed characters. Finally, it answered lots of questions that many of us who follow politics closely had not been answered like why is all of this taken so long and will Trump ever be brought to trial.
He probably will unless he has a stroke or heart attack that ends his life. But, at least, he has been successfully indicted by both a special grand jury and criminal grand jury which could bring the actual charges. So even a criminal president or past president is not above the law.

Historia
Donald Trump will be president again, whether he is on the ballot or not. That is because Trumpism is overtaking the Republican Party and will mount a vigorous comeback, potentially in the hands of a savvier successor. This prophecy will come true, according to Miles Taylor, if we do not learn the lessons of the recent past. With the 2024 election approaching, the formerly “Anonymous” official is back with bombshell revelations and a sobering national forecast. Taylor predicts what could happen inside “Trump 2.0,” the White House of a more competent and more formidable copycat.

White knuckle story of the confrontation of democracy and narcissistic determination for the former President to satisfy his every whim. It is the story of bravery and courage to do the right thing against all odds. It is beautifully written and the anxiety can practically be tasted. I will definitely read it again and definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to experience the truth of this terrible time in our country. Thank you for writing it.

Historia
It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

Historia
When Michael Cohen's secret payoff to porn star Stormy Daniels on behalf of Donald Trump made Cohen look like a liability to the by-then-president of the United States, the end to their decade-long relationship came swiftly—with a knock on the door from the FBI. Soon, Cohen would find himself imprisoned—even though he had plenty of evidence to show he was innocent of most of the charges.

We need to understand better our country and can do that by seeing the ebb and flow of other countries. America ebbs and flows also. Seeing that can give us hope.

I ordered this book out of curiosity but didn’t expect much. She is a Trump and Donald is a colossal failure at everything. I was very wrong. It is so interesting that we listened to it all today. Only taking a little break to vote. Thank you to Mary Trump. It is a fascinating story well told.

Historia
Al Franken, Giant of the Senate is a book about an unlikely campaign that had an even more improbable ending: the closest outcome in history and an unprecedented eight-month recount saga, which is pretty funny in retrospect. It's a book about what happens when the nation's foremost progressive satirist gets a chance to serve in the United States Senate and, defying the low expectations of the pundit class, actually turns out to be good at it.

What did you love best about Al Franken, Giant of the Senate?
Franken's timing is perfect. He is so much fun to listen to. I guess all those years of practice have paid off. I would vote for him as POTUS in a heartbeat.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Franken himself
Have you listened to any of Al Franken’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Didn't have time. Have enjoyed looking forward to it.
