Great story, wonderful narration

Good story telling, riveting action and good amount of detail in the slang of naval aviation. Loved it

Something different, Not Sigma but a new path

Revisado: 08-03-14

Any additional comments?

This is not a Sigma book. It is by the same author, but is a unique path to the Vampire genre popular today. I don't care for the genre, but I really enjoyed this book as well as the followup "Innocent Blood". Good book overall. Wonderful narration

Nothing like the first book!

Revisado: 11-17-13

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

A POTUS fan club for sure. The first book (Game Change) was a fair and objective look at all the candidates in the race, with no bias towards any candidate. It was an outstanding look into the actual race from an uninterested viewers perspective. It took a lot of criticism for this approach, but that made it the great read it was. This one is a cheerleading book for the President and the "tough" road he had to endure his first term. That is fine, but not what I was looking for based on the earlier book. I did not need a rehash of the "accomplishments" and lack of credit the President received leading up to the election. I wanted another unbiased view of the election. It doesn't exist in this book.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Nothing from these authors for sure. They either caved into peer pressure or were paid to make a POTUS fanboy book.

What does Robert Fass bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narrator did an outstanding job considering the material he had to deliver. Would definitely listen to another of his efforts.

What character would you cut from Double Down?

the authors

Any additional comments?

I made it almost 30 minutes into the book before I had enough. I am truly saddened that the authors changed their motive from an objective and rational history of the events to a pathetic cheerleading book for one of the participants. Don't read this based on the impressions of the first book, you will be sadly disappointed.

One of the best books I have ever listened to!

Revisado: 10-18-11

No, strike that. It is best book I have listened to!
This is one of the most interesting stories of one of America's greatest heroes. I am not talking about some politician or some great leader of civil society, this is about someone who fought for and made this nation what is today. It is brutally honest, graphic and to the point in its portrayal of General Olds life. Not only is his military history given, but also his personal life is laid bare. If you are a pilot, have served in the military and have any feelings left in your body, the last five minutes of this book will make you cry. It did me. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

Get a Better Reader

Revisado: 11-27-07

Good story, but it is totally destroyed by the reader. It sounds like a drunk old man with a English accent relating a story from the great war. Please enjoy the story, but you have to get past the reader.
