Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 75
Twelve years after Tim Moore toiled around the route of the Tour de France, he senses his achievement being undermined by the truth about "Horrid Lance". His rash response is to take on a fearsome challenge from an age of untarnished heroes: the notorious 1914 Giro d'Italia. History's most appalling bike race was an ordeal of 400-kilometer stages filled with cataclysmic storms, roads strewn with nails, and even the loss of an eye by one competitor - and it was all on a diet of raw eggs and red wine.

Bill Bryson with a bike
Revisado: 12-12-22
Tim Moore does a wonderful job blending self deprecating humor with a love of cycling history. My only complaint is that this is the only one of his books on audabile.

Mark Messier is one of the most accomplished athletes in the history of professional sports. He was a fierce competitor with a well-earned reputation as a winner. But few people know his real story, not only of the astonishing journey he took to making NHL history, but of the deep understanding of leadership and respect for the power of teamwork he gained.

Leadership not just hockey
Revisado: 02-11-22
This book is not just a hockey book, it is an excellent example of what it takes to be a great leader and the lessons learned could be applied to any facet of life.

Hardly anyone ever leaves Des Moines, Iowa. But Bill Bryson did, and after 10 years in England he decided to go home, to a foreign country. In an ageing Chevrolet Chevette, he drove nearly 14,000 miles through 38 states to compile this hilarious and perceptive state-of-the-nation report on small-town America.

Pompous Narrator
Revisado: 10-05-19
I am a huge Bill Bryson fan and I am perplexed as to why he isn’t the narrator of all of his books. Other narrators struggle to convey the humor and charm that makes Bryson one of the most captivating authors on audible.
Though the narrator can be a bit over the top the story is still great and worth a listen.

David Harper is an orphan, seemingly doomed to loneliness and poverty. As an adolescent con artist and petty thief, David spends his days grifting at an amusement park, the place where he first learns about women and the mysteries of love. Soon he discovers that his longing to embrace the world is stronger than the harsh realities that constrain him. Featuring autobiographical touches from Michener's own life story, The Fires of Spring is more than a novel: it's a rich slice of American life, brimming with wisdom, longing, and compassion.

Good not great
Revisado: 06-16-18
I love Michener and think he is a wonderful storyteller. You can tell this is one of his earliest works, it’s not as well organized as some of his later novels but he still does a great job of creating complex characters and fascinating stories.
Larry McKeever does another wonderful job when I think of James A. Michener it’s McKeevers voice I hear.

In the wake of the Tour de France’s fallen heroes, the story of one of history’s most legendary cyclists provides a much-needed antidote. In 1907 the world’s most popular athlete was not Cy Young or Ty Cobb. Rather, he was a black bicycle racer named "Major” Taylor. In his day, Taylor became a spiritual and athletic idol. He was the fastest man in America and a champion who prevailed over unspeakable cruelty. The men who aided him were among the most colorful to emerge from the era.

Great Story, poor narrator
Revisado: 11-21-17
This is one of the best cycling stories I have heard but the editing is just poor and narration is loaded with mispronunciations.

The Body Fat Solution is neither super low carb nor super low fat, and the author steers clear of demonizing entire food groups. Instead, Venuto shows you how to personalize an eating plan that takes into account your unique metabolism and calorie needs. He details the stumbling blocks we all face to success, and gives you the tools to overcome them.

Informative for the Newbie
Revisado: 04-04-10
This book is perfect for those who are struggling with weight loss Mr. Venuto lays out a simple yet very effective plan for creating a healthy lifestyle as a fitness professional I would recommend this book to any of my novice clients as a good first step in their education (which is the exact intent of this book). That being said I feel this would have been much better if it had been read by the author (he conveyed and actual enthusiasm for the material) the narrators voice was annoying and lacking in any kind of passion for the material he also mispronounced several words to the point I spent more time paying attention to him than to the material.
So if you are new to fitness and proper nutrition go ahead if not look up Mr. Venuto's ebook (which is more advanced and a must read for the fitness profesionals).
