Never too late to resume, never too early to get and stay in touch.

In “Relationships to Infinity,” Jason Levin reminds us of relationship-building activities we know we should be undertaking, and he offers new ideas for how to get better at this stuff. And he does so without being judgmental about why we have not been as good as we should be. I chose the newly released Audible version of the book and enjoyed it immensely on walks with Nikela, my constant canine companion. If I understood the narrator correctly at the beginning of Chapter 11, I have earned “Keeping In Touch” certification. Thanks, Jason, for a “good listen.”

A flashback to the '70s

Revisado: 02-04-13

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Would not recommend.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The first and second chapters, covering the rise of John D. Rockefeller and "Junior" were very well done. The sections covering the third and fourth generation were much more diluted. The people were far less interesting and yet they were given as much attention as the truly great John D and Junior.

Did Michael Anthony do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes, although I can't explain "how." I could always tell when and which character was talking.

Do you think The Rockefellers needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Hard to say whether or not a follow-up is necessary. At the time the book was written, the third generation was still mid-stream, and the whiny fourth generation were mid-stream in their self-absorption. If they accomplished anything worthwhile it might be worth hearing.

Any additional comments?

Audible needs to have "The Tycoons" available, as well as something along the lines of "The Men Who Built America."
