The 1830 murder of wealthy slaver Joseph White shook all of Salem, Massachusetts. Soon the crime drew national attention when it was discovered that two of the conspirators came from Salem's influential Crowninshield family: a clan of millionaire shipowners, cabinet secretaries, and congressmen.

I liked how this book described the murder of Captain Joseph White in such deep and intricate detail. However, the narrator mispronounced several Massachusetts cities. Overall, I am really glad that we finally have a book that goes into so much detail about the murder of Captain White as well as the subsequent trial.

Paul Sheldon is a best-selling novelist who has finally met his number-one fan. Her name is Annie Wilkes, and she is more than a rabid reader - she is Paul's nurse, tending his shattered body after an automobile accident. But she is also furious that the author has killed off her favorite character in his latest book. Annie becomes his captor, keeping him prisoner in her isolated house. Annie wants Paul to write a book that brings Misery back to life - just for her. She has a lot of ways to spur him on.

Intriguing story but overshadowed by the movie
Revisado: 08-31-22
The narrator struggles with expressing emotions but overall does fine. What really annoyed me a lot was the chord music interlaced with the storytelling. It was VERY distracting and didn’t add anything to the performance.
Misery is one of King’s best works, to say nothing about villain Annie Wilkes, who is allegedly King’s favorite villain.

Americans have long been taught that events such as the notorious My Lai massacre were "isolated incidents" in the Vietnam War, carried out by a few "bad apples." However, as award-winning journalist and historian Nick Turse demonstrates in this pioneering investigation, violence against Vietnamese civilians was not at all exceptional. Rather, it was pervasive and systematic, the predictable consequence of official orders to "kill anything that moves."

The history is solid but the narration is awkward
Revisado: 11-19-21
I liked the thorough history that the author presented in the book. It was detailed and reinforced its points with good evidence.
The narration wasn’t that good. No one edited out the pauses, could hear the book pages being turned, and the narrator clearly had no working knowledge of the Vietnam war; he fumbled on many word pronunciations.

By the time of his assassination in 1963, John F. Kennedy stood at the helm of the greatest power the world had ever seen, a booming American nation that he had steered through some of the most perilous diplomatic standoffs of the Cold War. Born in 1917 to a striving Irish American family that had become among Boston’s wealthiest, Kennedy knew political ambition from an early age, and his meteoric rise to become the youngest elected president cemented his status as one of the most mythologized figures in American history.

The bio that both scholars and enthusiasts deserve
Revisado: 03-27-21
There are many JFK books out there but few of them take the subject matter as seriously as Fredrik Logevall does. This biography debunks many of the myths surrounding the 35th president like how he allegedly didn't write Profiles in Courage, was a playboy who never took anything seriously, and was forced into politics by his father who was still mourning the loss of his first born son, Joseph. These myths, as well as many others, are thoroughly discussed, discredited, and replaced with solid research that paints JFK in a new and honest light. Logevall has set an all new standard with this insightful biography.
