This book, I am very pained to say, is Mr. Kings ultra liberal coming out.

Revisado: 09-27-24

I’ve followed and read King for 4 decades, this will likely be his only book that I will not finish. It’s not the first time King has leveraged his celebrity for a liberal cause (see Guns). At his level of notoriety it seems to me he either should rise above yelling from a soapbox about HIS beliefs or fairly warn the readership that 5hey are about to embark not on a fictional story but rather on a thinly veiled diatribe. You sold out your readership mr. King; you took your unparalleled talent of suspenseful character development and self reflection, and sold your Constant Readers a personal opinionated flight of fancy. Whether or not your precepts have merit IS NOT THE POINT. You, Constant Writer, let us down. 😞

Mostly (!) self aggrandizement.

Revisado: 09-27-24

What stood out in this book was that it should be considered an autobiography. This is quite heavily laden with self-aggrandizement as we follow the author through his childhood, school years military service, etc. In fairness; that is how most government officials reach their highest pay grade (which he waxes on about) is shameless self promotion. Substance falls quite short in the first 2/3…..very likely will not complete this.

I would LIKE to review this excellent book…

Revisado: 08-25-23

…but alas, Audible claims that my review constitutes AGREEMENT with Audible. Coms customer review guidelines…

Which therein states that I agree with their Term And Conditions of Use….

….which therein state that I must agree with Amazon.com usage agreements up to and including (as 1 subset!) their cookie policy!!?.

Well….no. I don’t agree with every far reaching policy and guideline Audible and their parent company may deem Profitable to them.

After all, keeping customers happy, in-line, thus providing a sanitized user experience is…profitable.

Too bad; really good text and performance.

not the correct narrator

Revisado: 11-07-16

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

This is a classic book, by one of America's classic authors.

Would you be willing to try another one of Deaver Brown’s performances?

No. This is absolutely the wrong narrator for a performance of a 19th century author. This person has a wonderful voice....if you're listening to The Sopranos; not Thoreau.
