Carr gets better and better

Revisado: 09-25-24

I’ve read an greatly enjoyed all of Carr’s books. This is his best yet. Gripping story. Many homages to other great writers. Plenty of plot twists. And Ray Porters performance is superb as always.
Looking forward to the next Jack Carr novel

Superb, chilling, a must read for everyone

Revisado: 07-24-24

I've read or listened to almost all of Annie Jacobsen's work. She's a detail-oriented investigative journalist who also knows how to write a book that's hard to put down. This may be her best and most important work. It's compelling, chilling, even frightening. If, after listening to or reading this book, you do not have grave concerns about the chance of nuclear war, and the horrors that follow, you need to take a good look in the mirror.

Well researched, poorly narrated

Revisado: 01-25-24

The authors did a good job of compiling a huge amount of research. This was offset by clumsy narration. The narrator continually mispronounced names, places and other words. Often using several different mispronunciations for the same word. It became very annoying and distracting.

The truth, the whole truth

Revisado: 01-09-24

Tyler is brutally honest about his time in racing and what he and others did to gain advantage by doping. He’s also honest about Armstrong and doesn’t seem to hold any ill will toward him. Taken in context, this book was published before Armstrong was stripped of all his tdf titles, it’s a fascinating look into the life behind bars that professional cyclists have.

Five stars all the way around.

Revisado: 11-13-23

Sir Jackie, in his typical modest way, takes the listener through a great, but all too brief journey through his life. I was hanging on every word. My Conley complaint is that I could have listened to a hundred hours of Jackie talking g about his life and experiences in racing and business. That of course is too much to ask for. But I’m very glad I bought this.

A must listen book of you are interested in personal liberty

Revisado: 11-11-23

Excellent across the board. Superb narration. This book is not for people with their heads in the sand about government and corporate surveillance. Or, maybe it’s mandatory for them.

Stellar! Powerful! Perhaps Carr’s best work yet

Revisado: 05-26-23

This book starts by laying the groundwork for a complex story. It’s not dull, but it does require the listener to pay attention. That quickly turns into a well laid out “novel” with plenty of twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. There is a lot of historical context in the book. Things you may or may not have heard of. The most powerful part may be at the end in the authors notes. Carr reveals much of the sources he used to research for the book. And when you realize how true the contents of Only The Dead are, it may leave you with a chill running down your spine.
Kudos to Jack Carr for an incredibly well researched and written book. I’ve read/listened to all his work - and this was above and beyond my high expectations I had for it. And, as usual, Ray Porter shows that he is perhaps the best performer of audio books in the English speaking world. Thank you Mr Porter.

A boring, narcissistic cry for attention

Revisado: 12-23-22

I should request a refund. This is by far the worst book I’ve gotten on audible. It’s the story of a self absorbed and spiked punk who thinks he’s a badass because he spent a month with David Goggins doing some workouts. I’ve read Goggins books. And it sounds da like he went really easy on Itzler.
Don’t waste your time or money on this book of exaggerated tall tales. It’s a long cry for attention by Itzler. Save your money. Don’t give it to him.
