A must read....

Revisado: 07-22-24

I have no idea why this book has so few reviewers, it's absolutely eye-opening how big money controls the world today and will completely dominate in the future if there is not a course correction

After 10 years in the Air Force, I was stunned

Revisado: 03-01-23

This is an incredible story where powerful people in the military scapegoated an ambush seal team for their own twisted benefit. I had the honor and pleasure of meeting Major Gavin, a true warrior, and a fantastic gentleman. His story is a must-read for anybody who was misled by the press, misstating that Afghan civilians were killed by the seal Maj Gavin lead, just for a sensation but an inaccurate story. It wasn't until I read the book that I understood just how wrong the media coverage was and how these brave Marines risked everything and didn't have the support of the government they should have had.

The narration was excellent!

The book is biased and incorrect, don't buy!

Revisado: 02-28-22

Recommended by a friend, this author is not to be trusted. In the first few minutes, you hear "Trump/Russia collusion witchhunt," and that (falsely) the Mueller report vindicates Trump. The author then says that her ex-boss Michael Flynn was persecuted and is a great guy.

Don't bother buying this propaganda. I'm returning it.

Not a sci-fi fan, but this is AMAZING

Revisado: 07-23-21

An incredible story, amazing narration, and a book that is just plain fun to listen to. This audible book, due to the outstanding narration, is much better than even reading the book!

Sci-fi is not typically something that I would pick, but this book has everything incredible science, incredible humanity, it will make you laugh, made you cry, a story I have so much depth a review can't give it the proper credit

A total page turner...

Revisado: 07-07-21

If you want a book with a lot of action, a lot of twists and turns, and surprising outcomes, this book is a lot of fun!

What's incredible is multiple readers adding a lot of spice.

Not a book I would've picked, but it was AWESOME!

Revisado: 05-14-21

An incredibly engaging book with insights about trauma and its result in behaviors later in life I would've never appreciated.

It's a must-read for any parent who wants to ensure their kids do not carry triggers into their lives.

Eyeopening... fills in history you never knew

Revisado: 03-21-21

This is a fantastic book, well research that will open your eyes to how restricting the growth of minorities restricts the growth of everyone and has the outcome of limiting our growth as a country in an increasingly completive world. Combined with the book Caste (Oprah's Book Club): The Origins of Our Discontents By Isabel Wilkerson, fills in US history you were never taught in school.

An amazingly entertaining read, read by the author

Revisado: 01-17-21

I saw Matt Jones on the HBO Bill Maher program as a guest and he was a crack-up! I noticed he had a book and was surprised as both my wife and I ordered copies of Matt's book right after seeing him.

Don't start this book unless you have some time to listen to it, but because you won't be able to put it down. This is one case where Audible has the edge, hearing it read by the author is so much fun compared to just reading the book, although the book is phenomenal in its own right. It's an amazing and comical tour of various counties in Kentucky giving you a flavor of the country I never knew. Makes me want to visit some of these tiny towns!

I never knew why Mitch McConnell (AKA "The Turtle" or "Moscow Mitch" [Matt explains the funny names]) who is unliked in both Kentucky and throughout the United States yet was able to hold a decades-long position in the Senate. Mitch is the poster child for why we need term limits, and by reading this book you can see just how power and money have corrupted him. He's responsible for many of the ills including dark money in campaigns, tax cuts for the rich, all while screwing poorer Kentuckians, and blocking commonsense legislation. He calls himself the grim reaper since bills from the house go to the Senate to die under his tutelage.

Matt goes over the details on how such an unpopular man continues to retain power. I think it's an awesome read no matter what your political affiliation, you'll find things out that you've never known before, all while having fun finding it all out.

This one's a must-have!

Explosive insights from a man who sold his soul...

Revisado: 09-11-20

I wasn’t a big Michael Cohen fan, but here’s a man who lost everything, his law license, his career, and almost his family as he blindly supported Trump for money and power.

He’s been in jail for something that Trump ordered him to do, pay off a porn star. He explained how he was used to blackmail people to get what Trump wanted; he paid to rig polls to show Trump worth more than he was while cheating countless vendors… the final straw that I can’t believe didn’t change him was when Trump hit on his 15-year-old daughter, despicable.

This book highlights an incredible tale of betrayal, corruption, and criminal intent, as Trump acted like a mob boss.

I’ve read multiple books about Trump from numerous sources, and clearly, there’s a pattern of dangerous incompetence and narcissistic lust for power.

Don't start this book in the evening....

Revisado: 09-06-20

You'll be up all night listening to it... Once you started it's hard to put it down.

Just when you thought you figured out what's going, you later realize you didn't have a clue
