Excellent book - problematic narrator
Revisado: 10-01-19
I admit to being disappointed that Professor Foner was not reading his book in his distinctive and familiar voice, but determined to give this narrator a try. After he has mispronounced Chief Justice Taney’s name four times within the first hour of the narration, however, I am distracted and disappointed. Audible, if you won’t let historians read their own work, make sure the narrators are knowledgeable about the period, please!

Maureen Dowd's incendiary takes and takedowns from 2016 - the most divisive Presidential race in modern history.

Disappointing and redundant.

What disappointed you about The Year of Voting Dangerously?
I was so excited that there was a new book out by Maureen Dowd. I had no idea it was merely a compilation of her columns, which I have already read. Nevertheless, I started to listen - but had to stop after so many key phrases were repeated in several places. It was positively distracting.
Has The Year of Voting Dangerously turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, I enjoy books on politics.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Yes - though I admit I was listening on 1.25.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I cannot recommend the book to anyone. If they have been reading Dowd, there is nothing new here. If they are new to her, the repeated phrases and anecdotes will still stand out.
