Nice polemic - just wait till he talks about something you have experience with

Companies struggle with Agile. Yes they implement in stupid ways. Does not mean that Agile is bad, or that it’s not better than the waterfall method. To me it means it’s a new way that is not well understand. Also when old school execs try to implement something new, it doesn’t always work well - no shocker there.

His talks about stress and the high tech environment are more balanced and better informed.

Excellent book - sheds light on horrific injustice

Revisado: 03-16-18

Would you listen to The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist again? Why?

I don't know that I'd listen to it again, it's not that kind of a book, but it's an excellent book and CLEARLY documents the fallacies and injustices in both Missouri and the larger US legal system.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist?

The end - tying it all together, showing how the legal system votes in their favor with scientific evidence, but votes against defendants consistently. This book exposes just how evil Steven Hayne, Michael West, Jim Hood (still attorney General of Alabama!), & Forrest Allgood (DA) are. How their desire to not look bad has kept innocent men in Jail, how they have said one thing to the press and actually taken actions that repudiate what they just stated. Horrific that we as a society allow this to happen in the US. If you have read this book and not been shocked or disturbed, you've failed to understand its implications.

What does Robert Fass bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Mr. Fass has a good clear voice that is easy to listen to and added to the book

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Mostly cry - it's horrific what happened to these people and how the State of Mississippi has constantly sought to obfuscate or deny justice.

Any additional comments?

If you have an interest in criminal justice reform, read this book.

When I got this book for my wife I thought of it as the literary equivalent of a chick flick, but my wife loved it so much I thought I would give it a read. Shonda Rimes is so brutally authentic about everything. This book is highly enjoyable and I recommend it.
