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.

Amazing narrative!

Enjoyed the story, narration, details, and all the colors and sounds of the surroundings. Really makes me wonder the integrity of the press and the royal palace. I can feel how tough it is to go through life under his circumstances.

Historia
There may never be another era of science like the first half of the twentieth century, when many of the most important physicists ever to live—Marie Curie, Max Planck, Wolfgang Pauli, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Ernst Schrödinger, Albert Einstein, and others—came together to uncover the quantum world: a concept so outrageous and shocking, so contrary to traditional physics, that its own founders rebelled against it until the equations held up and fundamentally changed our understanding of reality. Tobias Hürter takes us back to this uniquely momentous and harrowing time.

Historia
China's Belt and Road Initiative is the world's most ambitious and misunderstood geoeconomic vision. To carry out President Xi's flagship foreign-policy effort, China promises to spend more than one trillion dollars for new ports, railways, fiber-optic cables, power plants, and other connections. It touches more than 130 countries and has expanded into the Arctic, cyberspace, and even outer space. Beijing promises that it is promoting global development, but Washington warns that it is charting a path to global dominance.

Propaganda
Revisado: 08-22-22
It's book like this that perpetrate the mistrust and war mongering stance of the west. Simply it is the pot calling the kettle black. Yeah, the west has been saying that China will screw everyone involved in the belt and road initiative, due to the west been doing this for many many years to other countries. So the default way of thinking is China is doing the same. The US has been doing this for geo-political and military gain. China's interest is all on economics. That's the biggest difference. This book makes all reader think that China's motive is the same as US. Completely biased and lopsided view point.
One more, the narrator couldn't even pronounce a single word of Chinese correctly, just to show a more balance narrative, at least the narration should have a better pronunciation of names and sentences.

Historia
Eminent China scholar Elizabeth C. Economy provides an incisive look at the transformative changes underway in China today. Chinese leader Xi Jinping has unleashed a powerful set of political and economic reforms: the centralization of power under Xi himself; the expansion of the Communist Party's role in Chinese political, social, and economic life; and the construction of a virtual wall of regulations to control more closely the exchange of ideas and capital between China and the outside world.

Historia
A young, naïve but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals—in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg—whose true name is hidden from all he and Dunk encounter. Though more improbable heroes may not be found in all of Westeros, great destinies lay ahead for these two . . . as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits. Featuring more than 160 all-new illustrations by Gary Gianni, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a must-have collection that proves chivalry isn’t dead—yet.

Great story, but narration is terrible!
Revisado: 04-27-19
My complaint about the narration is the way some of the spoken words are so soft that I could barely hear them, especially when some of the voices are so loud to suddenly fall into a whisper that render the narration inaudible. So hard to listen when I'm driving and miss a big part of the story every now and then. Super frustrated about this. Otherwise, the story is great, the changes in voices are good too, makes you understand who's talking, but then again, you'll miss a big part if you don't concertrate listening to it and directly plug-in to your ears.

Riveting!
Revisado: 03-21-17
Would you consider the audio edition of Shoe Dog to be better than the print version?
I believe the audio book is just as good than the printed book. This book comes alive with the reading and tone of voice from the narrator which you don't get when you read a physical book.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Shoe Dog?
The lessons that Ohil learn throughout his life, the wins and successes as well as the trials and disappointments lead him to who he is.
Which character – as performed by Norbert Leo Butz and Phil Knight (introduction) – was your favorite?
Norbert as Phil
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Just do it!
Any additional comments?
Maybe one of my favorite book about a business tycoon so far.
