Spellbinding

Revisado: 05-13-16

This is a compelling read. I have listened to a number of audiobooks on the American Revolution, but this one let's you see the founding fathers through Hamilton's eyes. It's a long book, but never dull.

It gave me an even greater appreciation of Hamilton the Musical. Lin-Manuel Miranda has packed nearly every highlight from these 800+ pages in his lyrics. It's one of those stories that even though you know how it will end, you can't put it down.

Good performances and storyline

Revisado: 03-24-16

Listened during 10 hour road trip. Kept me engaged but ultimately was hoping for a better twist at the end. I read other reviews that warned of disturbing subject matter. But I did not find it graphic at all. Overall a good read.

This is something every american should listen to.

Revisado: 03-11-13

Stephen King is one of my favorite writers. Unlike Hollywood types who tackle social issues with little more than celebrity, this is a fact based look at both sides told in a compelling narrative.

This is a tough question:balancing tinkering with the Constitution and common sense. I don't own a gun and abhor senseless acts of violence by crazy people. But there are two sides to every story and King tells them.

Great Book --- Until the End

Revisado: 01-07-13

Very interesting book. Well written, researched and presented. Why we get fat is well documented. "What to do about it" is a little misleading. Most everyone knows that sugars and carbs make you fat.

It is not until the very end of the book that you learn that your genetics trump almost everything, and if you have got the fat gene, the only way to keep weight off is to fast. I was annoyed that I put so many hours into listening attentively, hoping for an easy solution, and discovered that there was really little I could do about it.

Very Funny

Revisado: 10-08-12

Worth listening. A great way to get a dose of American History and a good laugh at the same time. A little irreverent, but that is to be expected from Stewart.

Great Story. Great Audiobook

Revisado: 06-11-12

I chose this book based on a recommendation from the Afterword by Stephen King, in his audiobook/novel 11-22-63. He claimed it was the definitive book on time travel and that was what inspired him.

I bought the abridged version, but wished I got the unabridged version. It is a very entertaining story. The narration is excellent, and as far fetched as time travel may sound, he makes this believable. The characters are likable and there is a good storyline. I have recommended this to several of my friends who have liked it as much as I did.

Great Story. Great Audiobook

Revisado: 05-21-12

At first I was reluctant to download this. I had seen the movie and wasn't sure the book would be as entertaining. What a great book. This is a compelling story. It is also a great "short" book based on a novella. Sometimes I don't want to wait 30 hours to find out something ends.

After listening to this, I downloaded 11-22-1963 by Stephen King. Another outrageously good book. These are among my favorites.

My 11 year old daughter loved this

Revisado: 05-07-12

This audiobook has lots of singing, so it is a great listen. I encourage her to read and listen to books like this to develop different kinds of comprehension skills. It also helps to get a narrator's voice in her mind, so that when she reads it on her own, she can match the rhythm and character voices.

My daughter loved the story, the production values and the singing.

Very Worthwhile

Revisado: 01-29-08

I found this to be very useful. As it turns out, I am one of those people who may come across as being arrogant. I think many of us can see ourselves in the 20 bad habits he documents. To get this kind of information in a corporate setting would cost thousands. This book has caused me to think...which is the highest accolade I can give.

Great stories but Not for Kids

Revisado: 01-02-08

These are great stories, but they are not for young children. There are adult themes in all of them.
