Great Story
Revisado: 04-19-24
The narrator was a bit dull at times bit the story carried the day. Worth the credit.

The United States Football League was the last football league to not merely challenge the mighty NFL but also to cause it to collectively shudder. It spanned three seasons, featured as many as 18 teams, secured multiple television deals, drew millions of fans, and launched the careers of legends - but then it died beneath the weight of a particularly egotistical and bombastic owner, a New York businessman named Donald Trump. Jeff Pearlman draws on more than 400 interviews to unearth all the salty, untold stories of one of the craziest sports entities to have ever captivated America.

Keep Politics Out
Revisado: 03-29-24
I'm a big USFL fan and a big fan of the Stars. Went to a few games. While I enjoyed this story, the constant Trump bashing became tiring. While he is certainly not blameless to imply he is solely responsible for the death of the league is ridiculous. The league failed because of poor management and a poor grip on reality. They expanded too many too soon and brought in owners who couldn't manage a lemonade stand. Poor ownership in places like Denver, Arizona/Chicago, San Antonio, L.A., Washington among others. The author's consternation is politically motivated. The last chapter of the book shows that as he bashes Trump's presidency which if he were honest he would admit that Trump didn't do badly and bringing up the Russian Collusion matter, something that the special council debunked, only shows the author's bias. Also, the narrator constantly mispronouncing players names was laughable at best. I mean calling Nick Mike-Meyer "Myke Meyer"(like the actor) instead of the correct "Mick-a-Meyer" was hilarious. If the author just kept to the story of this great league would have been fine but he chose to sling mud.

When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity. Cloning, feel-good drugs, anti-aging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media: has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storyteller's genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 A.F. (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity.

Michael York should stick to the stage and leave narration to the pros.

Enjoyed This
Revisado: 01-13-20
I've been meaning to read this so I thought I get the audiobook. Michael York is one if my favorite actors so I enjoyed his narration. The story itself was good, not great. It pretty much describes today's society and how it's broken down. It matches up to today pretty well. I would recommend this book(and I did).

Deep inside Fairchild Air Force Base, Project Eternal Vigilance has continued to watch and wait for the Andromeda Strain to reappear. On the verge of being shut down, the project has registered no activity - until now. A Brazilian terrain-mapping drone has detected a bizarre anomaly of otherworldly matter in the middle of the jungle, and, worse yet, the tell-tale chemical signature of the deadly microparticle. With this shocking discovery, the next-generation Project Wildfire is activated, and a diverse team of experts hailing from all over the world is dispatched to investigate.

Not Really Crichton-esque
Revisado: 01-04-20
Decent story but not really Crichton-esque. It read(or sounded) like what it was; a sequel to a story written by someone else. Was it a bad story? No but it just didn't sound like him. I still enjoyed the story as far fetched as it was.
