Ulysses S. Grant's life has typically been misunderstood. All too often he is caricatured as a chronic loser and an inept businessman or as the triumphant but brutal Union general of the Civil War. But these stereotypes don't come close to capturing him, as Chernow reveals in his masterful biography, the first to provide a complete understanding of the general and president whose fortunes rose and fell with dizzying speed and frequency.

Long but good!

This was probably the longest book I’ve listened to, but the information was interesting and told in a way that made we want to keep coming back to it!

Only Billy Gerrick knows the truth…he’s a ticking time bomb. An overachieving bundle of fear, denial, and desire who has held it together for three-plus decades by sheer will. Now, on the eve of finalizing the most comprehensive, far-reaching global agreement ever proposed, Billy Gerrick is forced to confront a past he’d rather forget—the painful childhood, the embarrassing failures, the impressive string of romantic flameouts—when his perfect fiancée chooses this historic moment to pressure him about settling down, getting married, and having kids.

Billy the Kid!
Revisado: 10-28-23
I first found out about Edward Savio through the Battle for Forever series. I really enjoyed those books so I was interested when I had a chance to read (listen to) his new book, The Velvet Sledgehammer. While the story is very different and you have to be ready for some of the NSFW content, the writing was still as good. I
I thought Billy - the main character as well as the other characters were strong and the interactions between them were both funny and believable. The interactions between Billy and his family were somewhat painful at times and while touching at others! The Princess was both funny and frustrating - for Billy! Billy had to work through his relationships with women both past and present. At times the reader is rooting for him while at others, not so much. Ultimately, it was a book that I wanted to keep listening to so that I could learn what would happen to Billy at the end of his journey.

Great story and great narration
Revisado: 08-06-18
I really enjoyed this book. The story of an immigrant family trying to make a life for themselves in the U.S. in 2008 still resonates with today's challenges. Jende was such a rich character who showed both traits to emulate and faults to avoid. I thought that the narrator did a great job of bringing the different characters to life.
