In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, preventable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year. In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry’s story.

Disappointing
Revisado: 04-30-25
This book would have been much better if the author had had his manuscript reviewed by a physician and/or TB expert and a historian. I felt myself getting annoyed during the listen about all the inaccuracies clinically and the errors in historical facts discussed. Clearly, he is interested in the topic and personal stories. My feeling is a novel written loosely about Henry and his mother would have been more aligned with his writing skills.

Smedley Butler was the most celebrated warfighter of his time. Best-selling books were written about him. Hollywood adored him. Wherever the flag went, “The Fighting Quaker” went - serving in nearly every major overseas conflict from the Spanish War of 1898 until the eve of World War II.

Everyone should read/listen to this book

I really learned a lot from listening to this book. I didn’t know much about this aspect of American history and I think learning about it informs today’s American in so many ways. The style of Katz’s writing and the delivery by Barr are excellent as well.

This fundamental historical question and its complex answer speak penetratingly to the spiritual impulses, concerns, and beliefs that have played a seminal role in our world, even as they reveal the foundation of history’s most global religious movement, and fresh insights into the Western world's single most influential human being. Tackling all of these matters and more, Great Courses favorite Professor Ehrman returns with the unprecedented historical inquiry of How Jesus Became God.

Bad and hard to swallow.

I am having trouble finishing this. I find the authors arguments so ridiculous that I can’t listen any more. It’s sad because I had high hopes for a good listen.

While the world watched Donald Trump’s presidency in horror or delight, few noticed that his lifelong grifting quietly continued. Less than 40 minutes after taking the oath of office, Trump began turning the White House into a money machine for himself, his family, and his courtiers. The Big Cheat offers a guided tour of how money flowed in and out of Trump’s hundreds of enterprises, showing in simple terms how a corrupt president used our government for his benefit, even putting national security at risk.

Excellent read

I did not realize how corrupt the Trump & Kushner families were until I listened to this book. Additionally I was unaware how the multiple “public servants” of the Trump administration used the federal government to help themselves and their families to such an extent. Especially, important here is how they did it while telling the gullible amongst the American people the opposite. I think more thought than one chapter is necessary to figure out how to self correct. Once some people get away with self dealing it is difficult to eliminate this as the norm.

There story was very enjoyable keeping with prior books in the series. I thought the narration could have been better since the narrator only had a few accents.

Here is the story of Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, who, from her place in the store, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. She remains hopeful that a customer will soon choose her. Klara and the Sun is a thrilling book that offers a look at our changing world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator, and one that explores the fundamental question: What does it mean to love?

Thought provoking
Revisado: 11-17-21
This book really made me think of the real meaning of artificial intelligence. I can’t help but think the ending could have been more inspiring than it was. There were a number of topics about the lives of the people that were never really described making me look to reviews of the book for an explanation. Perhaps this was the literary devise to help us to see how the mind of an AF worked but I wish some details of the world envisioned by the author were revealed.
