Impossible to put down!

Revisado: 11-27-21

Quite possibly one of the best books I’ve listened to and read! From being a terrorist to taking down terror plots for British Intel, Mr. Dean shares a personal account that rivals that of almost anybody living today. I’d definitely go out on a limb to say that! As for drawbacks, this book is a pretty long and time consuming audiobook with over 500 pages. I just broke up the book into 5, 100 page sections instead of looking at the book as 500 pages to get through the book easier and it helped. Plus it gave me more time to absorb all the info in this book! Thumbs up on Nine Lives!

Anatomy of an excellent book

Revisado: 07-28-19

After reading Mindhunter, also by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker, I didn’t think any book could top that but this one did nearly did! I say this because, not only did John Douglas add more of his personal stories/experiences, he also described the personalities and motivations for all kinds of criminal offenders and why they committed these acts. From product tampering to assassins, each form of violence is broken down and assessed individually which makes the material easier to understand. At least in my time reading this book. Even though I prefer Mindhunter over The Anatomy of Motive, I still highly recommend this book to anybody who has a career in this field or just an interest in law enforcement or the FBI 🙂

A real tear jerker

Revisado: 04-05-19

Another masterpiece by Mitch Albom who happens to be one of my favorite authors! After reading Tuesday’s with Morrie and Have a Little Faith which I throughly enjoyed, I assumed For One More Day would not disappoint and boy was I right! This book is about having one more day with somebody you wish you could have back after they have passed. In this case, the story of Chick Benetto wishing and getting that one final day with his mother. I would say more but I don’t want to spoil any of the book! I’ll just say this was quite a moving book and I feel everybody who reads it will quickly understand what I’m saying.
In terms of things I liked about the book, Mr. Albom does a great job of putting life into each of the characters by describing them in great detail and by giving them each a distinctive voice that is illustrated beautifully by the audio book performance. I also felt the length of the book was absolutely perfect. It wasn’t too long or too short but perfect enough to weave an incredible story! Another great touch with the audiobook was music playing in different parts of the book. Added another level to the book.
In terms of negatives, I really couldn’t find any in this book. If I had to say one negative, it would be that I didn’t find this book sooner and read it! With that said, I highly recommend this book to anybody; especially people who are struggling with loss. A+

Wow!

Revisado: 02-13-19

I LOVE how Clayton broke down 9 lies that affect all of us and the way to break through them. This book is literally a How To on how to reset your life and live it through the way of God! Clayton’s ability to preach a biblical message that applies to everyday life through this book is tremendous! 5 stars all the way!
Just FYI, the book Stronger also by Clayton, made me give my life to Jesus a few weeks ago and I am lucky to call Clayton King a friend! He was the one who helped me give my life to Christ! So blessed for his help and friendship 🙂

Extraordinary tale of the Chicago Cubs

Revisado: 09-20-18

Coming from a Pirates fan, this is one of the best baseball books out there. Not only does it cover the history of the Cubs, it also highlights other legendary players who helped shaped the game such as Babe Ruth. Recommends read to any baseball fan, especially fans of the Cubs! Rich Cohen, the author, also weaves an entertaining personal story of his life as a fan of the Cubs.

Mindunter review

Wow! What a great look into the career of John Douglas and all the murders he investigated. Very informative and well written. I’d recommend this book to anybody interested in law enforcement or the human mind.
