Beautiful narration of a great old story

Revisado: 03-29-25

I’ve enjoyed every moment of this reading. They’re not right to did an outstanding job portrayed in the different characters. I could only wish they met a movie about this. I couldn’t put it down. I recommend this to all history, buffs, and old English in particular. Long live sir Lancelot.

More about art than money

Revisado: 02-19-25

I started to listen to this book since I was interested in JPMorgan‘s life. I initially wanted to read this because I wanted to learn about JPMorgan the financier. The author went into a long list of art items and more about the person than how he managed the financial empire he created. Don’t get me wrong. It’s still a good book, but not what I was looking for as far as the narrator he did a good job so this is a solid four star.

The more he got the more he gave

I was enthralled by what this man did and how he did it. He was indeed a titan that did it his way. Few men have amassed what Rockefeller did. He is what capitalism is all about. America was made by men like him. This country would not exist without Rockefeller…

The curiosity the author had from child

Revisado: 10-24-24

I stumbled into this reading and did not want to put it down. I enjoyed it while I was taking some walks. The Challenger presidential commission was a great read and learned that this was so close to what I was working on at the time. Reliability is just that a probability we should never forget as luces are at stake.

Good biography of General Patton

Revisado: 04-27-24

What I like about this book was portrayed human being with flaws. He was an old warrior thinking that he was destined for greatness. The greatness all about winning battles which she was good at them. His heroes were Alexander the Great, Napoleon that specialized in the Art of War strategies. His deficiencies made him think of ways to overcome them by overachieving in other areas like discipline, the use of profanity with the lower ranks. He was adored by his men and despised by higher officials. The latter put up because he delivered results!

A good read…

Long but a good detailed life of man bigger than life

Revisado: 10-26-23

I was looking forward to an account of this magnet. The reader was excellent with this nice British accent. Napoleon was a man bigger than Life, and such deserved a long book. He was an incredible strategist, and at the same time at the end, violated his own rules of war. I can see how Simon Bolivar took after Napoleon. I recommend the book by Marie Arana on the life of Bolivar who became the liberator of America. Enjoy listening to this narration it was worthwhile.

Bolivar comes to life

Revisado: 08-29-23

From the beginning I was enthralled by the narration of this great man’s life. Marie Arana documents Simón Bolivar as a prominent young aristocrat living in a Spanish colony and what shaped his anger towards the crown. Seeing the injustices of the royal empire in his native Venezuela lit the fire to wanting to liberate all of South America. He rallied all peoples to believe in his vision to kick the Spanish out of America. The narrator does a great job pronouncing all the names, places correctly. A must for your collection of Great War strategists!

Amazing lectures about languages, dialects and creoles

Revisado: 07-04-23

The author did an amazing job keeping the learners in suspense throughout the many lessons. I have increased my adoration of the spoken word and how we all are interestingly intertwined as one race, the human race. Great job! In one word, arrived….
