Historia
Lurking beneath the progressive activism and sex positivity in the 1970 to '80s, a dark undercurrent of violence rippled across the American landscape. With reported cases of sexual assault and homicide on the rise, the FBI created a specialized team - the “Mindhunters”, better known as the Behavioral Science Unit - to track down the country's most dangerous criminals. And yet narrowing down a seemingly infinite list of potential suspects seemed daunting at best and impossible at worst - until Dr. Ann Wolbert Burgess stepped on the scene.

The authors hubris made the book difficult to listen to at times.

The author spent too much energy patting herself on the back. She tried to make her contribution to be more than the more well known criminal profilers.

Historia
Gracie Reed is doing just fine. Sure, she was fired by her overly “friendly” boss, and yes, she still hasn’t gotten her mother into the nursing home of their dreams, but she’s healthy, she’s (somewhat) happy, and she’s (mostly) holding it all together. But when a mysterious SUV pulls up beside her, revealing Chinese cinema's golden couple Wei Fangli and Sam Yao, Gracie’s world is turned on its head. The famous actress has a proposition: Due to their uncanny resemblance, Fangli wants Gracie to be her stand-in.

Historia
Final Battle exposes the real threat that Democrats pose to freedom. The rise of socialism and critical race theory, coupled with threats to the Electoral College and Senate, an independent judiciary, and the integrity of the electoral system, now threaten to destroy the traditions that bring Americans together—the heart of our democracy.

I live this book! It is a quick read. Worth every penny.
Revisado: 04-26-23
D.H. Never disappoints me. He points out what we my loose and never regain again with our current politicians in charge. He reminds us that national interest is no longer the concern of our politicians but their destructive personal power is their focus.?)Honestly, why the United States still exist is a legitimate question with so many idiots in power that know nothing about the history of political parties in the past when they force their beliefs on others. Maybe they do know and lie anyway. The later is probably the truth. This is a serious book that readers should examine closely when deciding what direction the country is going.

Historia
The culture of “safety” and its intolerance of opposing viewpoints has left many young people anxious and unprepared for adult life. Lukianoff and Haidt offer a comprehensive set of reforms that will strengthen young people and institutions, allowing us all to reap the benefits of diversity, including viewpoint diversity. This is a book for anyone who is confused by what’s happening on college campuses today, or has children, or is concerned about the growing inability of Americans to live and work and cooperate across party lines.

Disappointing
Revisado: 03-13-23
I originally had a long review written which explained in detail my disappointment. Instead I will say that the authors do show their bias and it gets old to the ears.

Worthless
Revisado: 02-20-23
This book offers little information and proof that aliens and UFO’s exist. I do believe and there is sufficient proof from very reliable sources including past employees with proof of their past employment.
The author repeats theories that have long been debunked and likes to point out the ridiculous. This underlying theme along with the reader who over emphasizes his voice makes me feel that he thinks he is talking to children.
I consider this book a waste of money.

Historia
Serial killers are not simple monsters, as many believe. They are human beings just like us: men and women who have made the wrong choices or been turned into ugly creatures by their upbringing. Some seek to cause pain and shock - others just wish to scratch an itch that they have in their mind. All of them bring darkness in their own way.

Revisado: 06-22-22
The writer finishes the book by saying the killers are not bad people.
He points out all six killers had difficult childhoods and implies that was the reason for their actions. I found that simplistic attitude to be offensive especially after not finding any sympathy for the victims. no
Finally his obscene language was gratuitous and did not add anything to value to the story.
I feel that purchasing this book was a waste of money.
