Adapt or die, the stunning choices

Revisado: 05-23-20

This is an incredibly well thought out and presented piece of research and understanding from someone who has the chops to present it. If you want to know what direction our military should go, you have to read this. I passed this book recommendation on to my son, a West Point Grad who is moving into the acquisitions branch of the Army. I told him this book was required reading for his new position.

Garbage

Revisado: 08-21-19

Worst Baldacci ever. Formula writing, predictable, dripping with cliche, late in the book introduction of unknown evidence that wraps it all up. Don't waste your time, especially if you like Baldacci.

Not quite Circe, but this author is very talented.

Revisado: 11-15-18

Had to listen because of my tremendous enjoyment of Circe. Without spoiling anything, there were times that I believed focus on tangential aspects of the characters, distracted from the story. That turned out to be incorrect as those aspects were what bound it through the story and bundled it for the end. Miller is an incredibly talented author, in spite of the fact that this genre is miles from my wheelhouse. There's not a moment of doubt that I'll devour her next offering as well.

So good for, not up my alley.

Revisado: 11-15-18

This is way out of my traditional genre's, but I was compelled by the reviews. This is a terrific listen. Thoroughly engaging,extremely well written, and very well read. Regardless of your typical listening habits, if you enjoy a great story, well told, you'll be glad you dove in.

understanding and context

Revisado: 07-25-18

what many works consider a dull time in our history turns out to be complex and riveting. This was a great historical book that was even handed and fair, using the context of effects of time to measure importance. The narrator did an outstanding job

Formula

Revisado: 06-01-18

Too many times did I find myself asking "really?", at the overwhelmingly obvious that was supposed to be part of what a good novel would have as subtle conspiracy. I had hoped for better based on the reviews, it didn't pan out. It's a formula novel hoping to interject enough current events to make it intriguing. Not intriguing. Not really very good either.

False Pretense

Revisado: 06-01-18

If you want to learn that drugs are bad, gangs are bad and that we need to build a bubble over the US, then this is the book for you. I'm not going to spend much time on this review because I spent enough wasted time looking for an articulate opinion focused on describing a GENUINE problem and then on steps necessary to rectify the problem. I didn't find a hint of it here. Just more hyperbole and inflammatory rhetoric.

On top of that, the reader uses this constant imploring voice that gives the listener no depth for understanding the more important points of what the author may want to say.

This really is just garbage designed in the image of todays "instill fear" based politics.

Maybe the worst reader EVER!

Revisado: 03-28-18

The story is pretty good, the writing pretty solid, the reading is HORRIBLE. It completely killed the book. The reader has no acting ability and no ability to sound like different characters. The men sound like the children who sound like the females. It's like a chemistry teacher trying to read drama. I really wished I'd stopped, I can't get those hours back.

Wasn't really the book I had hoped for. I believed it would be more about the actual school with real life applications of the training. instead, it was a collection of memoirs with bits of anecdotal education.
