Woodrow Wilson Nickel, age 105, feels his life ebbing away. But when he learns giraffes are going extinct, he finds himself recalling the unforgettable experience he cannot take to his grave. It’s 1938. The Great Depression lingers. Hitler is threatening Europe, and world-weary Americans long for wonder. They find it in two giraffes who miraculously survive a hurricane while crossing the Atlantic. What follows is a twelve-day road trip in a custom truck to become Southern California’s first giraffes. Behind the wheel is the young Dust Bowl rowdy Woodrow.

Underwhelming

Meh. I don’t understand the high ratings. Not enough tension in the book, awkward writing.

Historia5 out of 5 stars 45
John Hope Franklin lived through America's most defining twentieth-century transformation, the dismantling of legally-protected racial segregation. A renowned scholar, he has explored that transformation in its myriad aspects, notably in his 3.5 million-copy bestseller, From Slavery to Freedom. And he was, and remains, an active participant. Intimate, at times revelatory, Mirror to America chronicles Franklin's life and this nation's racial transformation in the 20th century.

Note this is an ABRIDGED EDITION.
Revisado: 02-16-21
I most often listen to audiobooks while I am simultaneously reading the physical book. Because I was doing this with this book, I discovered, much to my dismay, that this is an edited and abridged edition. It leaves out large chunks of the narrative found in the print book and the chapters don't match up at all. I was extremely disappointed, and returned this title since it's useless to me as an abridged version. I wish that audible indicated this title was abridged in the description, as I could not find such an indication anywhere. I was very disappointed because the book is otherwise quite good -- I recommend NOT listening to the audio on this one, but getting the physical book.
