Excellent Guidance, Ignore the Politics

Revisado: 05-22-23

The authors’ extensive research and use of examples yield compelling guidance on the critical nature of thorough planning that involves inquiry into how similar projects fared elsewhere—the routinely overlooked step. The authors’ status as planning experts is undeniable. Their attempt at the book’s end to pass themselves off as climate change experts is patronizing. Narration throughout is excellent.

Engrossing History

Revisado: 10-04-21

Chris Wallace's book is a generally well written and well researched account of the location and termination of Osama bin Laden. However, the author's political bias taints the book somewhat. For example, he lavishes praise upon members of one political party and criticizes members of the other. For those interested in military history, the book is well worth the read.

Well Researched History Well Narrated

Revisado: 08-13-21

Excellent read and useful contribution to the history of politics and operations during WWII in North Africa. As a former defense attaché in Rabat, I found it fascinating.

Clear Summary of Nihilist Damage to Industry

Revisado: 07-01-21

Kenneth Whyte has done an impressive job thoroughly researching and clearly articulating the damage done by Ralph Nader not only to General Motors but also to American automobile manufacturing, in general. Particularly compelling is his epilogue in which he posits that a country that demonizes those who produce is bound to fail. The narration by Charles Constant is crisp. Thank you both!

Excellent Rags-to-Riches with Some Flaws

Revisado: 06-15-21

Michael J. Dowling’s book is an inspiring rags-to-riches story. His honest inclusion of details not flattering, such as his first encounter with a teabag in America (he tore it opened and dumped the tea leaves into the cup of hot water) and his entrance onto the college campus looking for a building with a sign reading, “College” (a kind nun directed him to the registrar). Yet, the latter part of the book grows tedious with his detailed description of public health policy, hero worship of Mario Cuomo, and bluster about anti-immigrant sentiment that seems exaggerated.

Refreshing Reminder of Timeless Truths

Revisado: 07-14-20

An engaging, refreshing reminder of timeless truths that govern not only the amassing of wealth but also the living of a good life--it contrasts sharply with our sloppy age of profane nihilism. Brilliant work, John Soforic!

Redemption

Revisado: 03-08-20

This is the story of a character-lacking, self-centered junkie who somehow found the courage and strength to pull herself out of the cesspool of drugs into which she had so eagerly jumped years previously. in the process, she regained her character. Turning points were three. The first two concerned physically throttling two fellow inmates who had targeted her. In a society that prizes impotence, she fittingly adopted short-term rage that proved to be effective. The third involved defying the junkie clandestinely shooting up in the rehab center and turning her in, as opposed to sliding back into the alluring cesspool with her.. One wonders if she ever tried to make amends with the former boyfriend and his family who treated her so well while she was treating them so poorly. One hopes so. Good read.
