For those who could read between the lines, the censored news out of China was terrifying. But the president insisted there was nothing to worry about. Fortunately, we are still a nation of skeptics. Fortunately, there are those among us who study pandemics and are willing to look unflinchingly at worst-case scenarios. Michael Lewis’ taut and brilliant nonfiction thriller pits a band of medical visionaries against the wall of ignorance that was the official response of the Trump administration to the outbreak of COVID-19.

it sucked
Revisado: 06-01-21
I was a huge fan of Michael Lewis. I read Liars Poker back in the 80s that was why I got into Finance. I loved the Big Short as it explains the mortgage crisis. Moneyball and The Blind Side were good but not my thing. I work inFinance. I didnt finish Crisis. I was not a fan of Flash Boys as is it a blast of dark pools it was basically an advertisement about how great the Investors Exchange was and the Investors Exchange is a dark pool. They no longer exist because it was a joke. Michael Lewis has failed at an attempt to promote a joke. He turned into a sellout. This book was not written prior to the pandemic. It's was a rewrite and changed to make it something it wasn't supposed to be, it was garbage. It started bad and took political sides and went downhill from there. I'm sorry about his daughter but no longer am I a fan of his work.

garbage the book started slow AND became liberal 1
Revisado: 07-24-20
the book started off slow and then became liberal crap at the halfway point. I bought this book on Amazon only so that I could write it so that people would have avoided because it sucked so bad.

Time has passed since the apprentice and his master, Will and Halt, led the Araluens to victory against invaders, and Will is now a full-fledged Ranger with his own fief to look after. The fief seems sleepy - boring, even - until the king is poisoned. Joined by his friend Alyss, Will is thrown headfirst into an extraordinary adventure propelled by fears of sorcery, and must determine who is trustworthy to the king and who is trying to take his throne.

this is not read by John Keating
Revisado: 05-23-20
I just couldn't get over the different voices and pronunciations. this is one of my favorite audio series. John Keating does an excellent job, or maybe that's what I am used too.

A short story
Revisado: 11-26-17
As always, John Keating does a great reading. This book fills in some back story and is interesting. It is shorter than usual and at the end there is another short story of Will and his apprentice.

In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself.

I played these games as a teen and pre teen. Will Weaton delivers a great performance. Couldn't believe it when I found out he is the reader.

The final of four.
Revisado: 10-02-15
This book series is my favorite. John Keating does a great job in the audio series. The first four books are one long story, each starting with a previous left off. Although I am not the target audience, as a man in his 40s, I very much enjoyed it.
