fascinating and frightening American catastrophe

Revisado: 02-06-22

This is a thoroughly researched history of the Sackler family over the past 100 years which reveals the foundation for the horror that became of Oxycontin and the central role the family and the drug played in the opioid epidemic. Engaging and easy to read/listen. Keefe is a surprisingly superior narrator.

Excellent. Well organized and data based arguments

Revisado: 05-28-21

Great read. Somewhat of a Sowell and Steele disciple but interesting story of his own and a very fact/data based argument.

Compelling first half, goes too far in second half

Revisado: 07-22-20

Compelling first half, goes too far in second half. would have preferred a different narrator as he is not reading the book so much as presenting a speech. Which is fine in that setting but listening to a book for hours like this is difficult. Constant changes in tone and volume actually create confusion at times.

fascinating portrayal of our society astray

Revisado: 03-15-20

Dr. Sommers narrates his well researched book on honor. He gives both extensive background and examples of how honor can and should return as a foundation of our society. One feels at times back in college and listening to your favorite lecturer, enthralled by every word. But his book goes so much further than the campus coffee shop. I only wish I had the chance to discuss the many thought provoking topics with the author himself.

real life Borat

Revisado: 01-15-20

Tuvia Tenenbom's words are carefully chosen and he has a superb skill of saying much more about his subject in what he doesn't put down on paper than what he conveys directly. This is not a monologue about his own worldview or opinions. He is an honest journalist who reports what he sees and hears with as much integrity as we could possibly hope for in this world. It's the message that is chilling. That antisemitism and Jew hatred, often for reasons not understood by the bigot, is rampant in the more unexpected and insidious places in our society. This and all his books are important documents that should be read and re-read by all Jews and non-Jews alike.

interesting history of an iconic band

Revisado: 12-21-18

enjoyed the story a lot. would have preferred to have Adam and Michael read the entire book. while it sounded cool to have all these other famous people read chapters it was a bit confusing since much of the book is written in the first person. The variability bordered on annoying especially when one accent was so strong I stopped listening as it was incoherent. wish I had the book to accompany this with pictures and the lists of all great musical influences.

fascinating fictional account of what could have

Revisado: 11-21-18

this is a wonderful story about what could have been had JFK's assassination been stopped. but there is really much more about this story regarding people, life, love, and relationships.

enthralling true story

Revisado: 10-18-18

this is an outstanding journalistic endeavor, meticulously researched and told in a thoughtful, organized timeline. must read or listen. in addition Damron is an excellent narrator although it was funny hearing his voice again so soon after Bad Blood.
