Short but Good

Revisado: 04-05-19

It was too short to leave me satisfied, but it was well written. And it was very well narrated by the author's twin sister. It was a strange blend of a self-help book for building up the character of girls and a lightly touched upon autobiography of a well known YouTube celebrity and political activist. Though they live their lives in public few YouTube personalities take a break from their video work to commit to writing their inner thoughts about that work. Here we get to know more about how one deals with public criticism and relates to her audience, competitors, partners, and friends. The deeply personal and honest introspection that B. Pettibone privileges us with in her book is unique and commendable. The style was distinctly female and will appeal to the target audience. Though it doesn't take long to listen to I think it's worth the price and hopefully it will help a lot of girls struggling with similar issues that live more ordinary lives as the same problems are shared by all.

Intelligent Nonsense

Revisado: 03-06-15

Any additional comments?

This book in entirely incorrect. The author claims that liberalism serves the function of providing solace in a society which is declining, that the decline is not inevitable even though liberals hold all the levers of power and military might, that liberals are not saboteurs and collaborators but rather ideologues, that liberals prefer not to use force and when they do they use it incorrectly. All of these statements and therefore the entire thesis of the book is incorrect. Liberals are in fact saboteurs and paid soviet agents. This has been proven and documented time and again showing that liberal politicians and media receive money from groups that are communist fronts for the service of undermining national defense and Christian culture. Their rhetoric is not to offer solace, but rather political cover as a tactic for a imperialistic expansion and infiltration into Western governments by Russia. The liberal ideological juxtapositions are always in favor of communism to Russian advantage. History proves that decadence and decay is the natural state of any society which has abandoned God and the principles of the Bible. Without full scale national repentance the pattern is unfailing. The historical record shows that liberals do resort to violence using the levers of power to enforce their edicts and suppress groups that disagree with them and do so effectively. The cases he cites where insufficient force was used were only cases where the insufficient use force benefited the Soviet Union proving the book is well written nonsense. The narration was very good.

Tastes like Soap

Foul language throughout and the movie was much better. I would not recommend this one at all.

Bright Book

Revisado: 06-25-11

This book was very well written and extremely well narrated. Guskin sounds a lot like Breitbart, but less sleepy. I thought chapter 6 about the origins of the left-wing presence in modern academia and popular culture was excellent and served as the only real educational portion of the book. The rest is essentially an autobiography of a mostly uneventful early life, but one that continues to accelerate with digitally charged later experiences that cover many exciting major media events of the recent years with an exacting behind-the-scenes perspective. The book also reveals the origins of the Drudge Report, Huffingtonpost, and Breitbart's own websites. Andrew confesses his dirty little sin of internet addiction that began during the scandal-ridden Clinton era and explains how Arianna Huffington succeeded in seeing the body of Larry Lawrence disinterred from Arlington National Cemetery against Bill's objections. While shredding the media Andrew shows how he used Arianna's proven strategy of media manipulation to make the most of the epic work of James O'Keefe's and Hanna Giles' undercover operation exposing ACORN which ended in the "in-name-only" destruction of that cursed organization and it's congressional de-funding. Many other great stories are told in this book and it's a great use of a credit.
My only criticism is that like many on the right today Andrew fails to see the direct connection between Biblical Christianity and the principles on which the right rests which limits his book's scope and usefulness. In order to augment his notes in chapter 6 the author would do well to research the origins of "criticism" farther back in history starting with the French, German, and English Biblical Textual Critics as covered in the books "The King James Bible and the Modern Versions" Harvestime Books, Vance Ferrell (available online) and "Gipp's : An Understandable History of the Bible" Daystar Publishing, Samuel Gipp Th.D.

Wendy, give me the bat.

Revisado: 06-20-11

This had the worst language I've ever heard in an audiobook. It was an offense to my very ears. The story was painfully dull and like many of King's books the ending was overdone. The movie starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall, which was made when Hollywood still had actors, was much better than the book. Normally it's the other way around, but as with a number of cases with King the movie was better.

Killer Drones

Revisado: 06-20-11

Like many Koontz books the dialog drags on and on while the characters are in grave danger. They chit chat and discuss their lives while being shot at. Not one that I would recommend.
