February 13 is missing

Revisado: 02-13-23

February 13 is missing. It skips from February 12 to February 14. Is there a reason for this?

Enjoyed it. Not a great business story, but a fun and interesting one. Worth it, but buy it on sale. #Businessfun #Comedicbio #CheezyBusinessadvice #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Nice to see Grant back on the pedestal

Revisado: 11-14-18

Nice to see Grant back on the pedestal where he belongs. I was not sure that I wanted to spend 27 hours on this book, but it was worth every minute. The attention to detail and what the Northwest Territory was like during the era among the other places and times really drew me into Grant's story. If jealous Union generals who saw Grant as a lucky upstart had not gotten in his way, Grant would have ended the Civil War within a year. #Grantbio #CivilWarbio #Historicalbio #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Two power stories well told

Revisado: 11-14-18

Caro focuses on two powerful figures to explain the nature of power, which seems to favor the rich or people with great connections (no mystery there). I was more intrigued by Robert Moses' story than President Johnson's because the former's was less obvious than the latter. Moreover, the book was 2/3 focused on Moses. Overall, I recommend the book especially if you like politics. #powerbios #thenatureofpower #NYTXbios #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Historical fiction at its best

Revisado: 11-14-18

Generally, I do not like historical fiction. I either want history or fiction, not both, but this historical fiction has made me change my mind. The story was compelling and transporting. I could have sworn I was there in person. #historicalfiction #LateMiddleAges #Transportativestory #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Engagingly uncomfortable

Revisado: 11-14-18

It was a great story that made me uncomfortable listening to it, because I had to ask myself what is the attraction that many of us have to serial killers' stories? I think that it's just we don't really know the strangers beside us even if they are family or friends. #engagingread #truestory #uncomfortablestory #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Awful!

Revisado: 03-24-17

A bunch of religious preachy propaganda! Jesus this and Jesus that. Yawn. This woman isn't a psychologist but rather a witch.

First rate!

Revisado: 09-01-06

I will be taking Mr. Mckee's lecture in LA in a few weeks and I am really looking forward to it. Now that I have listened to his book in his voice, I am even more excited about the lecture. This audio was excellent. He truly is the world expert in screenplay writing. The concepts and techniques that he mentions in the audio are crisp and exciting and I now feel more prepared, confident and skilled to begin my own screenplay. I am expecting the book soon and will review the concepts and graphs before the lecture, and I will also listen to the audio again, because I think it's worth at least one more listening session.

Not bad, not great

Revisado: 09-01-06

I thought that this would be a full reading of the actual book, since the title read "unabridged". However, it turned out to be a spoon-fed narration of the major points of the book. I did not mind the corny French accents that were used whenever Tocqueville or other French individuals were supposed to be speaking, but I found them unneccessary and somewhat annoying. Overall, I give the title 3 stars, but it's hardly an "unabridged" reading of the book.
