Stunning

Revisado: 03-02-24

A poetic rendering of a sobering and shameful part of the AIDS crisis, the story gives voice and presence to a fortunate man whose life was cut short by ignorance and fears rampant in society at the time.Betrayed by lies his history now seen in this beautiful quilt of the moments of his life.

Great reader and awesome writer. Wish I had this information when I held six bitcoins❣️Luckily I kept one and have learned my lesson. I feel I have a road map even though the map is not the territory. Feeling less smug about owning FANG stocks a good perspective on the silos of info And despite the naysayers feel blockchain a door into a prosperous future .

The Indian Connection

Revisado: 06-11-17

Would you listen to The Billionaire's Apprentice again? Why?

No.I found it fantastic just listening to it once.

What did you like best about this story?

The writing was high fantastical. The characters, being real life, were depicted in such a way that I felt I was often reading fiction

Have you listened to any of Dan Woren’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

NoBut I willHe was awesome

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes, I learned a lot about McKinsey, and a whole world of consulting that havingfriends in that field I never understood.I had already learned a lot from Dark Edge about the intricacies of hedge funds. I remember reading Barbarian at the Gates decates ago, on vacation in Mexico. I couldn't put the book down, this book and
Black Edge show that when one has a fantastic writer, who is able to do research and get into the minds and hearts of his "characters" provides not only a griping story but also a
seminar on so many things, the SEC, the Feds, the traders,

Any additional comments?

This is a tragedy. But I learned a lot, although I had so much compassionfor Gupta.

Loved this book

Revisado: 06-09-16

What did you love best about Disrupted?

The author

Who was your favorite character and why?

The author

What about Dan Lyons’s performance did you like?

I rarely like author's reading their work-his reading was spot on. His writing spot on.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When he left!

Any additional comments?

Just a great read. Better than a novel. The fact that he was such a great journalist and treated everyone fairly albeit ultimately trenchantly made me appreciate it more-he didn't spare himself. His humor and ability to compress (loved the chapter titles) was so refreshing. I felt I was in the trenches with him every day.

Terrific Reader Terrific Read

Revisado: 03-29-16

Very enjoyable story HIStory while also providing not only Gygax's story along with the history of D &D Great reader and starting most chapters with an actual scenario brilliant giving those unfamiliar with the game a real sense of its now legendary legacy. I owned a small mapping company in the early days of Gen Con and it was pure delight to read about people like Tim Kask etc who we interacted with in those early days when my sons would trade our map stamps for products.

5 Smileys

Revisado: 02-06-12

What made the experience of listening to Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy the most enjoyable?

I am giving this book 5 Smileys because it was a book I couldn't put down. I listen
on a Sansa Clip and our golden retriever got many more minutes walking the winter
winds along Chicago's lakefront, only because of the magic of this performance and
the writing. A walking chess game, it perhaps isn't the book for everyone. I had read
years ago on cassettes! an audible version of The Spy Who Came In From The Cold and although I didn't really until this book realize that Smiley had a

What other book might you compare Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy to and why?

Spy Who Came In From The Cold

Have you listened to any of Michael Jayston’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but I'm going to look him up.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely not.

Any additional comments?

Get all the Smiley books into one set.
