Unbelievably great real story

Revisado: 06-05-17

There are very few books or stories that kept me so excited like this book. Mitnick is a true legend and the history of the first 40 or so years of his life is as good or better than any Hollywood​ thriller. As for the narrator, Ray Porter is, as usual, is amazing and can't even imagine a better performance.

Robert Bailey is my new "wait for" author

Revisado: 12-26-16

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

definitely. Legal thrillers can't get any better.

Any additional comments?

Robert Bailey knows how to build the characters and the story. Both "the Professor" and this book were really good and keep you on the edge of your seat. The performer is just amazing. Any new book for Bailey will be added to my library as soon as it hits the stores!

I can't believe I forced myself to finish this!

Any additional comments?

While I don't disagree with at least 70% of the ideas in this book, that's not why I didn't like it. I actually usually enjoy books that challenge my knowledge and opinion. This book is simply a preach.

If you're looking for a book to enforce your belief in what you already believe in, this book is for you, but if you're looking for a book to show you some evidences, you'll get some of this, and tons of gibberish nonsense.

If you need to pick ONE book, that's it!

Revisado: 12-26-16

What was one of the most memorable moments of Turning Points in Middle Eastern History?

They're all "turning points" so it's hard to choose. The author did an amazing job in connecting the dots between seemingly unrelated events.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed every second of this book. This is definitely my favorite audible book so far. Not just plain story telling but also deep analysis and amazing performance by the author himself.

Rich of characters and details

Revisado: 08-28-16

What did you like best about this story?

It's not a shallow story. It goes deep into the characters (yet, not all of them) and keeps you interested.

Any additional comments?

It is definitely a nice book to listen to. Scott Brick is an amazing narrator. It's my first book of Baldacci and I never saw the movie and if this is his first book, then the rest are definitely greater and I can't wait to check. A slightly less "cheesy" details and this books is close to being perfect.

A special genre. Funny and entertaining.

Revisado: 07-29-16

This was a new genre for me but 2 hours into this book, I bought the second book in the series. Any exaggeration would be forgiven as the characters are slightly superheroic and Sinful is almost Smallville. The narrator is just amazing and the story is catchy.

A Fun Journey to a different era.

Revisado: 07-26-16

What other book might you compare The Roman Hat Mystery to and why?

I couldn't stop myself comparing it to Agatha Christie Books .. just for the mere fact it is takes place in the same era. Of course, it wouldn't be fair to compare the "fictional" Ellery Queen with the Queen of Crime Mysteries "Agatha Christie" but I wasn't bad at all.

Which character – as performed by Robert Fass – was your favorite?

Robert Fass. All the characters were performed nicely except in multiple cases where you feel he "mixed up" the characters.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Despite being categorised as a "Thriller", it was actually relaxing and enjoyable.

Good Book that is so close to being great.

Revisado: 07-14-16

If you could sum up Finding Sheba in three words, what would they be?

Thrilling, captivating, fun

What did you like best about this story?

Everything related to the history part. Despite the fact that the author is not trying to hide the fact that the history line is fictitious, it makes you rethink what you know and drives you into researching the real history.

What does Bon Shaw bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

It took me some time to accept the "old radio tone" of the voice but once that happened, I was very pleased with the performance. I like how he doesn't over-do the accents and the voice changes but are subtle enough to make the narration dynamic.

Any additional comments?

Good book. The only reason it's not a 5 star (at least to my taste) is because there is simply a little too many love stories. That didn't bother me a lot, yet I felt it's weird for a book of this genre.

Easy listen. Amazing narration

Revisado: 07-04-16

Average story, but definitely not boring. What made a big difference is the amazing performance of the narrator. The story would've been a lot better with less unrelated details and little too much background information. For the narration alone, this book is worth checking.
