Excellent unbiased biography

Revisado: 09-03-19

A false bloom is an interesting way to surmise this man's life. It had to be very difficult to write this without expressing opinion. When listening I couldn't say how many times I thought what an idiot this person was and is and how much his ego outweighed his talent. The fact he compares himself to Elvis is laughable, Elvis had a heart, a conscience. Rick Bragg is in my opinion one of the most talented story tellers of our lifetime and if it were not for his writing of this I would not have ever bought it. The narration is good but after hearing the author narrate other works, I'm spoiled. In 50 years from now everyone will know who Elvis was, only some will know who JLL was and even then will be known for how he wasted his talent, his life and caused harm to nearly everyone he ever knew. Perhaps one day before he dies he will come to understand what he threw away and what legacy he left but I doubt it as intelligence is not in his library of traits.

Excellent. you never really know until the very end. The narration was perfect. The match between writing and narration was perfect.

good writing, narration not so much

Revisado: 08-23-19

a little excessively long but okay, but the narration was difficult to listen to. Still worth it if it's on sale. The short version they all got out but the rescue was convoluted, involved, political and unnerving. one diver died but all the boys got out. I'd suggest the print version instead.

used to respect willie. not anymore.

struggled to finish. I guess Willie thinks outlaw mentality and total disregard for the law is good. Newsflash it's not. Used to feel bad the IRS got him, not after listening to this. He flaunts and brags about evading the laws and doing people wrong. In parts it simply made me sick and had to stop listening. I'm sure he has more redeeming qualities than singing but after this I will never know.

Somewhat difficult to listen to

Revisado: 06-26-19

It felt like it was going in circles with not much focus and then began discussing aliens at the very last until I wasn't really sure what I was listening to. The narrator did as good a job as possible, it needed serious editing to keep it from diverging way off topic.

Excellent story of Farming

Revisado: 03-29-19

Narrator does a perfect job of performing the story of how our food gets to us and just what our food is and what's changed in a short period of time. This wasn't anything I wasn't already aware of but it was excellently brought together and told.

Too detailed

Revisado: 03-24-19

too many details turned this very interesting story into a chore to listen to. The smallest detail like when and exactly how the person went to the bathroom really took the polish off an otherwise good story. Would have been much more enjoyable had it been a wee less descriptive. It's hard to engage with since not even the most minute detail is left to imagination.

Well told tale of broken system

Revisado: 09-30-18

Having gotten this on sale I wasn't sure what to expect. Very well written and well narrated. Getting good medical care at a fair price is no longer possible in this country even for those who can afford it. Big business has caused harm to people which is the first oath taken by a doctor (do no harm). With few exceptions hospitals are interested only in money not fair care of a patient. I already knew this before reading but this tale will nearly bring tears as the wrongs are so described.

Editor needed

Revisado: 08-06-18

Although the intricate details of this was over my head and is best suited for one devoted to the business of trains, parts were repeated and at times the story suffered from continuity. I would have given the story a better rating had it had a better proofreader editor, the performance was flawless so that helped pull the rating up.
