On October 4, 1957, a time of Cold War paranoia, the Soviet Union secretly launched the Earth's first artificial moon. No bigger than a basketball, the tiny satellite was powered by a car battery. Yet, for all its simplicity, Sputnik stunned the world.

I liked the book. Some interesting history and the background to the dawn of the space race. The narrator had a tone and pace that was neither over-bearing or monotonous.

It's a not-so-flattering, but fact based biography of one of America's iconic figures in technology. Jobs is less a technophile, than a modern day hippy determined to control, guide, father the companies and ideas he manages. He may have his detractors, his enemies and his nay-sayers, but the man has magnetism and undeniable charm.

At Thermopylae, a rocky mountain pass in northern Greece, the feared and admired Spartan soldiers stood three hundred strong. Theirs was a suicide mission, to hold the pass against the invading millions of the mighty Persian army.

Disappointed...
Revisado: 04-20-08
I was expecting a fact based history, but instead got this melodramatic early-afternoon soap-opera shlock. My fault really, I should have read the description a little more carefully.
If you want "Days of our Lives" set in late Greek history then this is what you want.
Otherwise, steer clear.

Bill Bryson has been an enormously popular author both for his travel books and for his books on the English language. Now, this beloved comic genius turns his attention to science. Although he doesn't know anything about the subject (at first), he is eager to learn, and takes information that he gets from the world's leading experts and explains it to us in a way that makes it exciting and relevant.

A must have for your library.
Revisado: 08-13-07
If you own any audiobook, you MUST own this one. This is what Audible wants from all it's audiobooks. It's deep, witty, endlessly addictive to listen to and brilliantly written by Bryson.
I owned the abridged version at first, which was amusingly narrated by Bryson himself. It was good, Bryson was effective in his delivery but the unabridged version is perfection. The narrator is glib, articulate and just serious enough to give the many Bryson humorous tidbits the dryly stinging delivery they need.
I've listened to this book hundreds of times, learning something new every time I hear bits and pieces of its 18+ hours of dialogue.

I enjoyed the audiobook. From the clear reading by the narrator to the depth and quality of research and thoroughness that we've come to expect from the late David Halberstam, this audiobook delivers. I've long been a fan of Belichick's professional approach towards his craft, and the brilliance in which he manipulates cold hard facts with the greater unknowns of human nature and motivation.
The narrator takes the subject matter a bit too seriously for me at times, which otherwise only slightly detracts from a very entertaining "listen".
