Historia
Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars: same year at Yale, same debut year in publishing. But Athena’s a cross-genre literary darling, and June didn’t even get a paperback release. Nobody wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers to the British and French war efforts during World War I.

wonderful narration
Revisado: 02-16-24
The story brings up a lot of issues about race, culture, and identity. I also deals with a great deal about the publishing industry and authors. The publishing minutia got to be very tedious for this non reader. I loved the narrator and look forward to more of her work as well.

My mom was raised Southern Baptist in Kentucky. She got out of there when she graduated high school and moved to Colorado with my dad. As the artist and black sheep of nine kids she NEVER understood the racism of her family and community. I am so greatful to her for not raising me in that self deception. I think she recognized from a young age how that religion was an impediment to personal growth and realizing our full humanity. This book puts it all together and is a call for change not to ditch American Christianity but to take a good hard look at it and HOW we might make a change for a better future for all of us! Bravo!

Historia
A greedy, philandering Baptist minister, Elmer Gantry turns to evangelism and becomes the leader of a large Methodist congregation. Often exposed as a fraud, he is never fully discredited. Elmer Gantry is considered a landmark American novel and one of the most penetrating studies of hypocrisy in modern literature. It portrays the evangelistic activity that was common in 1920s America as well as attitudes toward it.

Amazing Performance
Revisado: 07-23-20
I listen to a lot of books and this narration is incredible. It was a really long book so I was afraid it would get old but all the characters really came to life. Of course the writing and the story are superb so the narrator had a great deal to work with. This is an American classic indeed.

Historia
An outrageous indictment of Donald Trump's appalling behavior when it comes to golf - on and off the green - and what it reveals about his character. Based on Reilly's own experiences with Trump as well as interviews with over 100 golf pros, amateurs, developers, and caddies, Commander in Cheat is a startling and at times hilarious indictment of Trump and his golf game.

Revisado: 04-19-19
This book is fabulous! It's hilarious and entertaining, and informative, too!
I learned a lot about golf (I've only played 5? times). But it goes into depth about how the president* cheats prolifically and obviously. It also goes into how hes bought and developed his courses and how he screws everyone who works for him and everyone he deals with or plays with. He's ruining golf as badly as he's ruining our country!
It is illustrative.

I love this series. You can tell the differences between the characters because the narration is brilliant. The story is full of surprises and suspense. I'm going to listen to all four.

Historia
A razor-sharp thinker offers a new understanding of our post-truth world and explains the American instinct to believe in make-believe, from the Pilgrims to P. T. Barnum to Disneyland to zealots of every stripe...to Donald Trump. In this sweeping, eloquent history of America, Kurt Andersen demonstrates that what's happening in our country today - this strange, post-factual, "fake news" moment we're all living through - is not something entirely new, but rather the ultimate expression of our national character and path.

I enjoyed all the research he put into why he thinks the US is so credulous. The history is entertaining. At the end it isn't all doom and gloom either. I would recommend this book but, like everything, take it with a grain of salt.

I enjoyed the historical setting and the culture of the Friends. The writing was good . The story was interesting but way too sad. The dwelling on the sad events and the constant description of nursing babies made me fast forward sometimes.

I loved this performance. It was easy to assume you were listening to a man's thoughts. Easy to tell the characters apart as well. The story was a bit tedious a couple times and kinda gruesome sometimes. So be careful if you're squeamish. I might listen to it again. I'd recommend it.
