Good freshman high school lecture
- De Ron A. Parsons en 01-29-19
It’s so fantastic to learn from modern professors and experts
Revisado: 12-11-24
Loved the review on gravity and its associated formulas. I went into the lecture with certain questions about black holes and the speed of light. Everything with answered it felt like going to a university course, but there was no homework!

Historia
Heartbreak Is the National Anthem: How Taylor Swift Reinvented Pop Music is the first book that goes deep on the musical and cultural impact of Taylor Swift. Nobody can tell the story like Rob Sheffield, the bestselling and award-winning author of Dreaming the Beatles, On Bowie, and Love Is a Mix Tape. The legendary Rolling Stone journalist is the writer who has chronicled Taylor for every step of her long career, from her early days to the Eras Tour. Sheffield gets right to the heart of Swift and her music, her lyrics, her fan connection, her raw power.

Half of the book is an autobiography of the author
Revisado: 11-22-24
He spends way too many words telling about his own mother and childhood. I appreciated the insights into Taylor Swift, but it was nothing that most fans don't already know. Old news written up to make a buck. I stopped listening after chapter 14. And really, are all of the F bombs necessary? In a book about Taylor Swift? Certainly the editor should have caught this and made the author clean up his language.

Historia
Eighteen-year-old Celaena Sardothien is bold, daring and beautiful - the perfect seductress and the greatest assassin her world has ever known. But though she won the king’s contest and became his champion, Celaena has been granted neither her liberty nor the freedom to follow her heart. Celaena faces a choice that is tearing her to pieces: kill in cold blood for a man she hates or risk sentencing those she loves to death.

Revisado: 11-08-23
He read all of the narration without any emotion, which made it more like a documentary. But I loved his accents and voices for the different characters. It made me forget that there was just one person reading the book.

Meh

Entertaining, but it was much better 10 years ago. The “reimagined version” was mostly a simple gender bender.

Superb performance
Revisado: 11-26-22
Bill's performance held me in a trance every time I listened. His ability to create so many character voices and remember them throughout this incredibly long book was amazing. I laughed and cried... I highly recommend this listen.

So Boring!
Revisado: 11-11-21
This book takes forever to provide any satisfaction, whether you’re looking for romance or action. It started out fairly interesting, about a girl who had power, but the story jumps around like crazy and it’s difficult to follow. It focuses mostly on a very slow, predictable romance. The performance isn’t much better, she likes to pause in strange places, putting commas in very abnormal places in the sentence. It’s just frustrating to listen to, even at three times speed.

Revisado: 08-05-19
I wish he could be the reader for all of my audio books. His tone, inflections, and reading/acting skills have made him my all-time favorite. Fantastic job Mr. Wheaton! Thank you for making it so enjoyable to listen to this terrific story. 1000 points to you.

Historia
On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

Not a fan of gore
Revisado: 06-07-19
It was my first Stephen King book. The story became fascinating, but the Number of F-bombs and the time spent describing the murder details and associated gore was disgusting. Sorry Stephen King, I guess I don’t belong to your audience demographic.
