A Uniquely Down to Earth Book

Revisado: 01-17-23

I am a big fan of NASA so I've read a few books about the science and stories surrounding the organization. This was a very personal and unique story. He touched on the everyday quirks and challenges of being an astronaut. Which is fun and par for the course. The part I valued and enjoyed the most was the internal human challenges he so openly shared. If someone is looking for a book to understand the personal sacrifices and challenges it takes to be an astronaut. I would give them this book. 10/10

A good round perspective of Smedley Butler

Revisado: 05-15-22

Being a person who is generally anti-war and very skeptical of the state department. I learned a great deal more about what the United States did during the early 1900's. The overall narrative in most US history classes jumps from the Civil War, a slight bit on the Spanish War, then straight through to WW1. Butler was in pivotal areas and conflicts I was unaware of before listening to this audio book.This was educational and raw veiw of Butler and his legacy, the bad and the good.

Strikes Every Nerd Bone in My Body!

I absolutely love this book. The narrator does a great job throughout and really gets me into the book. Being a big fan of various video games like Sims and Red Alert, it really makes me wish this book could become a video game. Love the science fiction and pop culture throughout the book!

Interesting Perspective of the United States

Revisado: 02-01-21

I think the author provides an interesting and important perspective on the United States. Going through the founding of the nation, all the way to near present day was a good way to organize the book. I know the author didn't mean that fantasy was all bad but I think it made sense with where he was going at the end. I like that Kurt Anderson provided a bit more nuance in his conclusion. I would definitely recommend this to my friends.

A Critical Look at Why 2016 Happened

Revisado: 08-21-19

A hard hitting look at how Trump isn't the problem, he a symptom of the problem.

A convincing take on why the Democrats need to do a critical autopsy of their party after 2016.

This Book: Not a Failure

Revisado: 07-26-19

I was mostly motivated to first buy this because Jon Benjamin is also narrating the book. The audio book is hilarious and I highly recommend it over the written book. The book was Jon Benjamin through and through so it would help to be familiar with his work.
