The identity comes first: Evie Porter. Once she’s given a name and location by her mysterious boss, Mr. Smith, she learns everything there is to know about the town and the people in it. Then the mark: Ryan Sumner. The last piece of the puzzle is the job. Evie isn’t privy to Mr. Smith’s real identity, but she knows this job isn't like the others. Ryan has gotten under her skin, and she’s starting to envision a different sort of life for herself. But Evie can’t make any mistakes—especially after what happened last time.

Cannot stop listening!

Such an awesome story, with so many twists and turns, and it all resolved neatly at the end!!! I needed a fun fiction book to take my mind off from all the horrible stuff going on in the world and from current politics, and this one totally fits the bill!

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 85
Inner-city Black America is often stereotyped as a place of random violence; in fact, violence in the inner city is regulated through an informal but well-known code of the street. How you dress, talk, and behave can have life-or-death consequences, with young people particularly at risk. The most powerful force counteracting this code and its reign of terror is the strong, loving, decent family, and we meet many heroic figures in the course of this narrative.

Listen on double speed!
Revisado: 02-24-15
Not sure if this option is available on non-Apple devices but if you are a lucky user of iPhone or iPod, listen to this book on double speed (click on a little red "speed" line in the bottom right corner of your screen). Then it's perfect!!! The book is absolutely riveting, deep, and thought-provoking. Changes your views by adding new perspectives. Totally worth it!

Exquisite!
Revisado: 11-24-14
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
What an exquisite combination of wonderful writing, a neat plotline, literary erudition, and sarcastic humor! It was my first exposure to this writer and I absolutely fell in love (despite being very picky when it comes to fiction -- to the point that I choose non-fiction about 9 out of 10 times whenever I am looking for a new book to listen to).
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
The plot twists kept me listening way past my bedtime :)
What about Richard Ferrone’s performance did you like?
And the performance by Richard Ferrone is absolutely captivating! Now I hope that any other books featuring this lovable character Bernie are voiced over by Ferrone!
Any additional comments?
Cannot wait to hear another book in this series! (And I very rarely get into series, I'd say the only exception is Lawrence Sanders and his "deadly sin" short series).

In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.

Insightful and thought-provoking book!
Revisado: 08-20-12
Where does The Righteous Mind rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I really enjoyed this book! Haidt has a wonderful ability to make research ideas and results gripping and easy to understand. And when it comes to how the human mind works, there are quite a few surprises in this book even for a seasoned psychologist :)
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Righteous Mind?
Haidt's ideas on why religions are useful and existed in every society throughout the human evolution are riveting!
Have you listened to any of Jonathan Haidt’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
For anybody who enjoyed Haidt's The Happiness Hypothesis, you will love this book as well.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I found the first half of the book much more fast-paced and engaging than the second half but I still couldn't stop listening to it until the very end and it was well worth it. By "couldn't stop listening to it", I meant that I didn't switch to some other book or podcast like I normally do when the pace gets slower. I do not listen to anything in one sitting - I only listen to books when driving, doing chores around the house, cooking, etc. But then, with this book, it really pays off to have some time between ideas to absorb and process them.
