At the age of 64, legendary athlete Diana Nyad inspired the world when she walked onto the shores of Key West after "crossing the Mt.

So much more than I expected.
Revisado: 01-23-22
Of course this book was going to be inspiring. what I didn't expect was that it would also be entertaining. I laughed, I teared up, I got mad, and, despite having seen the triumph on the news, I was awed.

Historia
The status of John Donne (1572-1631) as one of the greatest poets in the English language is firmly established. He strongly influenced writers of the 17th century, and modern poets such as T.S. Eliot have praised and imitated Donne's work. His poetry is characterized by dramatic, witty, and bold language; by strikingly original imagery; and rhythms based on everyday speech.

This narrator droned on and provided a tedious performance like a stereotypically bad actor. it gave no insight or connection to the words.

Historia
Can a young war correspondent find herself and follow her heart? In this work of historical fiction, 20-something Annabella “Annie” March arrives in France in 1944 intending to write about the war. Soon, however, Annie begins to distance herself from her sometimes-mentor, sometimes-rival - the great Martha Gellhorn - and Gellhorn’s larger-than-life husband, the novelist Ernest Hemingway. She turns to photography in the hopes of making her own name and, to her delight, discovers that images come more easily than words.

Entertaining behind the scenes tour
Revisado: 07-20-19
I enjoy learning how decisions in movie and tv productions are made and discovering the behind the scenes stories. Without the visuals, I was curious how this would be accomplished. Never doubt that a Pottermore production will live up to expectations! This book is a thoroughly entertaining description of how the movie was made.

Historia
It's America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. In San Francisco, the I Ching is as common as the Yellow Pages. All because some twenty years earlier the United States lost a war - and is now occupied by Nazi Germany and Japan.

Unsatisfying
Revisado: 11-03-18
I was excited to read this book after seeing the first 3 seasons of the series on Amazon. I wouldn't mind that the book was different if it was good. The author fails to give me a reason to care about any of the characters. It felt more like an early draft of ideas with potential, yet needing more development.

Historia
Lin-Manuel Miranda's groundbreaking musical Hamilton is as revolutionary as its subject: the poor kid from the Caribbean who fought the British, defended the Constitution, and helped to found the United States. Fusing hip-hop, pop, R&B, and the best traditions of theater, this once-in-a-generation show broadens the sound of Broadway, reveals the storytelling power of rap, and claims our country's origins for a diverse new generation.

An amazing behind the scenes tour
Revisado: 08-25-18
I am grateful Jeremy McCarter and Lin-Manuel Metanda had the foresight to script this documentary simultaneously with the development of the songbook and eventual Broadway musical. This insight into the creative progress and decisions which brought Hamilton to the stage will enriches the audience experience and will serve as a textbook for future generations in the theatrical arts.

Historia
Few have been a member of Donald Trump’s inner orbit longer than Omarosa Manigault Newman. Their relationship has spanned 15 years - through four television shows, a presidential campaign, and a year by his side in the most chaotic, outrageous White House in history. But that relationship has come to a decisive and definitive end, and Omarosa is finally ready to share her side of the story in this explosive, jaw-dropping account.

mildly revealing
Revisado: 08-18-18
A measuerd and carefully scripted account of Omarosa 's interactions with Trump before and during her White House employment. A tiny glimpse behind the curtain, though certainly not full access. I expected more reveals given the alleged 200 recordings the author claims to have. (strategically timed to coincide with the book release to increase sales) Still, I'm glad I read the book. One purpose of this piece is to restore Manigault-Newman's reputation and counter the characterizations that are spinning from the White House. She succeeded in showing both her qualifications for the job and detailing how she performed her role.

A vivid memoir of food and family, survival and triumph, Love, Loss, and What We Ate traces the arc of Padma Lakshmi's unlikely path from an immigrant childhood to a complicated life in front of the camera - a tantalizing blend of Ruth Reichl's Tender at the Bone and Nora Ephron's Heartburn.

Historia
The first thing Sophia Amoruso sold online wasn’t fashion - it was a stolen book. She spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and dumpster diving. By twenty-two, she had resigned herself to employment, but was still broke, directionless, and working a mediocre day job she’d taken for the health insurance. It was there that Sophia decided to start selling vintage clothes on eBay. Eight years later, she is the founder, CEO, and creative director of Nasty Gal, a $100 million plus online fashion retailer with more than 350 employees.

Good book, bad narration
Revisado: 02-11-13
What did you love best about Rod?
I enjoyed the insights into the origins of Rod Stewart's music and his candor.
What didn’t you like about Simon Vance’s performance?
It was a dry and lifeless performance. Rod Stewart is a colorful person and this Simon Vance's narration was completely beige.
