A page turner with unecessary partisan bias

Revisado: 09-19-23

The book is an up to date biography. It's a page turner and very easy to read.

It is a pity, however, that the chapters about Twitter are filled with partisan bias. (Example: even the most loyal "All-In" followers will not describe JCal as a "moderate".) Perhaps it is written to please the editors, but some of the "right wing views" are today's common sense - one simply needs to talk to the average Jane and Joe to find out on street.

I would have given 5 stars if the unnecessary jabs are replaced by more "matter of fact" descriptions, which the author carried out for 80% of the book.

A sincere book from a sincere person

Revisado: 08-20-23

The book is a page turner. I was surprised by her childhood stories in FL...almost out of a thriller. I didn't follow her career closely then, but I have gained an appreciation now. The bonus feature of the audible version is that Maria read it herself. She is a great narrator.
I highly recommend this book.

America owes Nixon an apology

Revisado: 03-05-23

I finished Farrell's Nixon biography and listened to this book. I was shocked. The "smoking gun" tape wasn't the smoking gun at all.
The book helped me to appreciate the true DC swamp. I hope the people can one day have a cleaner government and a cleaner capital. Is it a wishful thinking?

A Queens man!

What a page turner! The book is very sincere yet entertaining. McEnroe reading it himself only makes it better. I highly recommend it!

A page turner with deficiencies

Revisado: 01-06-22

Perhaps I'm too cynical in nature, but I assume a business only wants to maximize its profit. This is why we have the FDA. The book is a fascinating read, but I'm surprised that the author didn't spend more energy on the FDA. Weren't they supposed to catch the opioid issue very long time ago? How could they still approve its usage for teens in 2015? With such a track record, how are we supposed to trust them with COVID policies?

I also found his accusation of judge Drain overly idealistic and harsh. The reality is that the family outlawyered everyone. Once the case was placed in a bankruptcy proceeding, it would be on a different path. As I think through...They could have been stopped by the FDA long time ago, but they weren't. Will anyone dare to ask why?

A page turner

Revisado: 05-08-21

After months of CRT focused conversations in schools and society, I couldn't help but wonder why we Americans can't focus on helping all who struggle in life. Stop the division and start creating jobs and stable families for America's future.

Excellent story telling and analysis

Revisado: 01-28-21

The book is a perfect balance between story telling and analysis. I came away with greater appreciation of President Hoover's career as a politician as well as a person. I especially appreciated the analysis of the Great Depression, something MSM doesn't seem to recount fairly even through today.

I would highly recommend this book.

A must listen

Revisado: 10-31-20

It's an excellent book packed with legal background, interesting snippets of senator Cruz's encounters, and his political views.
Is it a partisan book? absolutely. But senator Cruz laid out his rationale clearly in each subject and it might be interesting for someone with opposing views to hear him out also.

The narrator did an excellent job to match. In fact, he talks a bit like senator Cruz!

The length of the book is perfect. It's compact yet thoughtful. I highly recommend it.
