Best nonfiction history book I’ve read in a while

Revisado: 01-07-23

This is great book for anyone interested in the history of Polynesia migration throughout the pacific islands, the first contacts with European explorers, and the various theories as to how those people navigated the vast expanse of the ocean and settled nearly every island between Samoa and Rapa Nui. The book is well organized and the narrator is superb. Excellent book and performance.

Comprehensive overview of ancient Egyptian history

Revisado: 06-27-22

This is a really well written overview of Egyptian history and comprehensive in terms of coverage of everything pre-pre-dynastic, ie 50,000 years ago, all the way to Cleopatra. The narrator did a great job with pronunciation and her syncopation flowed smoothly with the pace of the writing.

Great content, poor narration

Revisado: 09-06-20

The narration has a very distracting vocal tic. The content is great and useful, the narrator is terrible.

Poor narration and poor storytelling

Revisado: 12-01-19

This book is not well written and the story is not cohesive. Narrator reminded me of beach bum in Southern California— very distracting.

Good read for political junkie

Revisado: 02-06-18

A cathartic book that can bring closure, but also an infuriating in that it can move you to mobilize! Lanny Davis dives deeply into the 2016 presidential campaign.

A must read for those who are curious about the FBI's role in the 2016 election.

Not what so thought what it was about.

Revisado: 11-04-17

Shallow, not much depth. Also sort of boring. This was very poorly written and it can be seen obviously.

She is a brilliant woman and I love knowing that..

Revisado: 09-12-17

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

She is a brilliant woman and I love knowing that the words on the page came from her. Hillary Clinton's voice comes through consistent with her life story. She has been reviled by right wing sources throughout her life. This Presidential campaign has brought out vile accusations.

Her story about the election rings true and is substantiated by other sources.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Aside from Hillary Clinton herself, I enjoyed when she talked about her relationship with her daughter Chelsea.

Which scene was your favorite?

When she talked about the debates with DJT.

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

It made me laugh & cry.

Any additional comments?

You wont regret this audible book; this isn't a collection of platitudes or tweets (Like Bernie Sanders's book) this is a very interesting and informative account of "what happened" during the 2016 election.

Only redeeming thing is the narrator

Revisado: 08-05-17

Would you try another book from Roger Stone and Robert Morrow and/or Ken Patterson and Suzanne Toren ?

This is a audiobook for old people or self-hating women. It is incoherent in some aspects, it gives us pleasant sentences with little meaning. References aplenty but they're all from shady sources. I felt hugely nauseous listening this book.

What was most disappointing about Roger Stone and Robert Morrow ’s story?

It's nonsensical

Which character – as performed by Ken Patterson and Suzanne Toren – was your favorite?

Susanne Toren

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Clintons' War on Women?

Everything after the title page

Any additional comments?

No.

Hilarious, memorable stories and great narration.

What made the experience of listening to Kathy Griffin's Celebrity Run-Ins the most enjoyable?

Definitely enjoyed this book and found Kathy's narration to be one of the best parts. Personal affectations are rarely delivered successfully via audiobook so hearing her tell these personal anecdotes herself made it extra good.

What other book might you compare Kathy Griffin's Celebrity Run-Ins to and why?

Mindy Kaling's "Why Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me"

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

Personal voice

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Her story about Debbie Lovato made me weep
