What happens when the President of the United States governs one Tweet at a time? When the elected leader of the free world may not have a firm grasp on the names of government agencies, much less an understanding of their intricate inner-workings? In the days following the 2016 inauguration, government personnel searched for answers that didn’t exist, while White House staff scoured halls for employees who would never be appointed.

Nowhere near as good as author's previous books
Revisado: 02-07-19
OK, we get it - Donald Trump is disorganized and has no interest in government. Honestly we didn't need Michael Lewis to waste his talents telling us this.
This book is nowhere near as interesting as the author's previous efforts.

Perhaps surprisingly, they do it very differently from the vast majority of tech companies. In Inspired, technology product management thought leader Marty Cagan provides listeners with a master class in how to structure and staff a vibrant and successful product organization and how to discover and deliver technology products that your customers will love.

Bad recording devalues this product
Revisado: 05-25-18
Amazon should junk this recording and re-record with a professional reader.
I find it amazing that the author has all these great ideas on product management, but he doesn't apply any of them to the recording of this audiobook.
The recording jarringly shifts in both audio quality and pitch on approximately every 10th sentence. It's obvious that some editor went back and re-recorded certain passages, and then stitched the final audio product together in an amateurish way.
Also, the author overdoes the emphasis. He must inflects his voice to raise the implied importance of a passage way too often. This happens so often that the listener just starts zoning out. It's like listening to a business leader that prioritizes everything as #1.
I'm sure there's lots of great product management ideas in here somewhere, but they get lost in the poor reading.

Between his work on the 2014 Audible Audiobook of the Year, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: A Novel, and his performance of Classic Love Poems, narrator Richard Armitage ( The Hobbit, Hannibal) has quickly become a listener favorite. Now, in this defining performance of Charles Dickens' classic David Copperfield, Armitage lends his unique voice and interpretation, truly inhabiting each character and bringing real energy to the life of one of Dickens' most famous characters.

Great reading, story stands the test of time
Revisado: 05-25-18
The reading is phenomenal. Great pace and character accents.
The story mostly stands the test of time. Portions of the plot feel outdated and overly long. Some characters add little or nothing to the overall plot.

Meet Ove. He's a curmudgeon - the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him "the bitter neighbor from hell". But behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness.

slow first few chapters and then it takes off
Revisado: 10-03-17
Give this book at least 5 chapters before it starts to take off. Chapter 1 seems nonsensical until you get further in and realize that you're enjoying this masterpiece much more because of chapter 1.

As a young man, Richard Neer dreamed of landing a job at WNEW in New York - one of the revolutionary FM stations across the country that were changing the face of radio by rejecting strict formatting and letting disc jockeys play whatever they wanted. He felt that when he got there, he’d have made the big time. Little did he know he’d have shaped rock history as well. FM: The Rise and Fall of Rock Radio chronicles the birth, growth, and death of free-form rock-and-roll radio through the stories of the movement’s flagship stations.

Voice pro doesn't narrate his own book?
Revisado: 09-07-17
What did you like best about FM? What did you like least?
Liked the history and stories about the heyday of WNEW-FM and other rock stations around the country. The first few chapters are tedious - the book picks up once Richard is working full time at WNEW. Also, Richard's petty mudslinging gets tedious.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Edit out the first few chapters.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Why doesn't Richard narrate his own book? You would think a radio personality would read his own book. The narrator sounds like he's acting instead of telling his life story.

But everything changes the day a stranger arrives, pulling a sled bearing a terrible cargo. In the chaos, a little girl has vanished, and Luka is the only man with the skills to find the stolen child and her kidnapper.

Great narration, story speeds up gradually
Revisado: 01-18-16
Narration and story start slow but build up wonderfully.
Don't get put off by the slowness and thick accent at the very beginning. You'll love the accents and the quicker pace within a few chapters.

In this triumphant best seller, renowned novelist James A. Michener unfolds a powerful and poignant drama of disenchanted youth during the Vietnam era. Against exotic backdrops, including Spain, Morocco, and Mozambique, he weaves together the heady dreams, shocking tribulations, and heartwarming bonds of six young runaways cast adrift in the world - as well as the hedonistic pursuit of drugs and pleasure that collapses all around them.

Robotic narration sucks out the life
Revisado: 10-08-15
What disappointed you about The Drifters?
The robotic narrator somehow managed to suck all the life and romance out of this Michener masterpiece. If there is any literary justice in this world, somebody at Audible will junk this recording and record it all again with a new narrator.
How could the performance have been better?
Any other narrator would have done a better job. This guy is terrible. At times I'm not sure whether the narrator is a human or a computer. And he reads too slow. I tried speeding up the playback, but that just made his robotic intonations sound worse.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment that after waiting so long for Michener to be available, the performance could be so bad.
Any additional comments?
Please, please, please junk this recording and produce a new recording with a new narrator.
