l Love ❤️ It

Revisado: 08-11-24

This was an amazing audible experience. Over 1000 years of monarchy and their great design to keep it in tack. I had no idea how many, Rex' and Regina's there had been until I devoured this outstanding chronicle of their lives. An audible journey 📚 with grit and intrigue. I look forward to listening to it, again and again..... Highly recommend Crown and Scepter.

"I'm Just Wild About Harry"

Revisado: 01-22-23

The revelation of this book is more important than ever. Prince Harry pours his soulful nature out and like many; we can't get enough of him as a result.

The protagonist is Prince Harry of Sussex; however the deuteragonist is King Charles, Full Stop.

King Charles III appears to triangulate each and everyone in his life. He performed his manipulative personality disorder on Princess Diana and Camilla. Pitting both women against another vying for his attention..

And when Princess Diana give birth to two wonderful laddie's; Charles' triangulation spun yet again; attempting to tear two brothers apart ergo, 'Heir" vs "Spare".

Prince Harry of Sussex, I don't know you, but from a maternal perspective; I'm very proud of you and your family. Continue to grow In love with the USA. We love you and your entire family very much.

Your memoir is cathartic and timeless for the Ages...

Terrific!

Revisado: 01-30-22

I've listened to this audible book several times, and it's pretty darn good, Anderson Cooper takes you on a personal journey into his ancestor's past,. I had no knowledge of Gloria Vanderbilt's childhood. It had to have been unfortunately anxiety ridden for little Gloria at the time.
I must admit that lady holding baby Gloria on the cover looks just like, Tony Curtis' character in, "Some Like It Hot". If you've seen the movie; then you know what I mean, haha.

Anderson Cooper should consider narrating as a part-time job; he would be a superb narrator. All in all, I highly recommend this Audible edition.

Extremely Well Done

Revisado: 07-23-20

Dr. Mary Trump has provided an, "eye opening " trip into President Trump's, "Black Box". (His Brain).

According to Dr.Trump, he's a Sociopath. Period. Full Stop.

Is he a "Con Man", that must win at all costs???

Sociopaths can be extremely difficult and dangerous as well. He's textbook in, Psycho-Socio Pathology due to his behavior.

"A Psychopath is born. A Sociopath is made."

He Idealizes; Devalues; and Discards; many good people, time and again, because he's void of Empathy.

He's Toxic too. And his behavior has put America in a toxic dangerous place as a result. Our Country has, "fallen from grace" under his watch. Lest we forget, his toxicity has placed America in a Pandemic Hell-Hole. . .

I thoroughly enjoyed this Audible Experience due to it's Honesty; Dr.Trump, thank you. Highly recommend.

Not Impressed

Revisado: 03-31-20

Struggled to finish this book. Too subjective, author placed excessive emphasis on his own moods and attitude. Too opinionated and egocentric.

Our Third Global Pandemic

Revisado: 03-14-20

An illustration of Mammal's poor decision making in eating horrific, infectious meats.. This is not our first rodeo in which we find ourselves. The Global Pandemic of Spanish Flu, 1918-1920, AIDS/HIV, 1980-1991; COVID-19, 2019-To Present. All three happened to
be respiratory tract infections, that end in pneumonia.

The Spanish Flu aka Bird flu Virus, took 20+ million lives. AIDS/HIV Auto Immune Deficiency Syndrome and fast forward to; Rhinolophus "Lesser Horseshoe Bat," the Reservior, "Spillover" if you will, (SARS-CoV-2) COVID-19.

The Hendra Virus in Australia focused on the causation, Flying Fox Bat. . . And our most recent Global Pandemic, with it's causation factor, Lesser Horseshoe Bat.

As a result, I find this book worthy of listening to again and again. "Spillover" is the most authentic, fascinating, frightening book I've read on this subject to-date. Highly recommend this Audible Experience.

A Masterpiece

Revisado: 02-28-20

Superbly written with a fast pace dialogue I so enjoyed. Ronan brilliantly addresses the, "Me Too" movement and it's Villains with style and grace. I enjoy his body of work so much, I've listened to the audible version 5 separate times, it has yet to grow old. Highly recommend.

POWERFUL NARRATIVE. . .

Revisado: 11-30-19

Wow, this book felt like a, "gut punch" once completed. Frank Sheeran's life of the guy who, "painted houses and laid his own carpet " was so provocative, yet sickening. He truly voids empathy on multiple levels.

An inability to turn off his experience serving, 411 days in combat on the front line during WWII, caused major psychological damage to his family once he returned to civilian life. . .

I grew up in the 60's and remembered the day we lost, President Kennedy. It was a "gut punch", yet again. It felt as if the entire Nation cried and mourned the very moment of his death. It hurt so badly.
But now I know, how and why Racketeers and Teamster, Jimmy Hoffa wanted it that way.

The book is insatiable and the motion picture as well. I watched the, "Irishman" on Netflix's yesterday. Scorsese once again, did a magnificent job.

I highly recommend listening to the novel, first. Then see the movie. This way you'll understand, " the why's and how's" of this complicated Irishman, Frank Sheeran and The Mob.

Medicine Of Choice 200 Yrs Ago and Counting. . .

Revisado: 11-11-19

Confessions of an English Opium Eater narrated by G. Guiliano found me as an insider observing Mr. DeQuincey's, love-hate relationship with the tincture, Laudanum.
He indicated, laudanum usage became an 8,000 drops a day regimen. That's a lot of Opium, but his tolerance for the drug increased overtime.
It should be noted, he did managed to decrease the amount to, 25-50 drops daily.
Yet, his body an health did suffer from attempts at Detoxification.
A period of two hundred years, 1804-2004 has passed, nevertheless, Opium is still an epidemic plaguing today's, economic, generational and governmental sectors.
Mr. Dequincey's best selling book during this period was indeed, "Confessions". And I applaud his candor at describing his life long addiction to Laudanum.
Highly recommend this authentic listening pleasure.
