the book tries to justify illegal activity by a President of the United States

Revisado: 04-25-25

1/3 of the book is anti Dean. we have an X Nixon supporter who still thinks President Nixon and his illegal activity was justified. innuendo self opinion. the man is pro Nixon and pro-trump and anti-constitutional. the author bases his defensive Nixon on the transcripts of the tapes whereas the tapes themselves set a different light on things. it's entertaining to have an alternate opinion of History. the bottom line is that Richard Nixon resigned his office because the laws of government and adherence to the Constitution worked. probably the last time it did given the current state of our government functionality

a good look into a lesser known theater of in combat World War II.

Revisado: 04-04-25

the book provides decent information however the the narrator was speaking so fast you really couldn't keep up with the story and all the details. in addition the author provided a plethora of detail but didn't flush it out as in where the British units came from, how they were organized, spending a little more time on the different ethnic groups that made up the British army at the time from all the participating colonies and Commonwealths. spending a little more time identifying where the geography was within Burma but also help a bit.

mediocre story- Star Wars is lost some of its magic

Revisado: 02-10-25

I haven't listened to Star Wars audiobooks in a while but this new Canon tends to focus more on the Romantic relationships between people versus the actual story the stories are weaker in the writing is mediocre at best. Mark Thompson of course does an amazing performance as usual but he's only as good as the material he's given. Star Wars isn't about whose Romancing who it's about the fight between Good and Evil and what is the right thing to do versus the politically correct thing to do. some of that is Manifest in this story. however the biggest mistake Disney has ever made is ignoring all of the cannon that kept Star Wars going between Return of the Jedi and the release of episode 1.

too much fluff in the story

Revisado: 08-16-24

story was very difficult to listen to. it's not the narrator's fault it's just that the material is not what I was expecting from an alien novel.

unfortunately story was mediocre and predictable

Revisado: 08-05-24

Unfortunately the alien formula has been almost beaten to death. Like Dragnet, the names have been changed to protect the innocent - yet it's still people find egg, egg turns into monster people run from Monster and then there's a soul survivor... that pretty much sums up the Alien Saga. the narrator has some good accents, but I found The Voice very monotone

good performance great story

Revisado: 06-20-24

originally heard this story when it was just a short audiobook love the expanded under bridge version performance was fantastic. just wish Disney hadn't classify these stories is non-canon. there's definitely two to three really good films that could be made from these stories

David versus Goliath

another case where senior Corporation management is proven wrong by someone who is gifted and then try to discredit that person after the fact and trying to steal the credit. NASA's management hasn't changed

the robotic voice of the narrator

Revisado: 05-30-24

the book was a wealth of information for statistical analysis. I just think they could have picked a better narrator to add a little more inflection and enthusiasm to the material being read.

Too much Fluff

Revisado: 05-01-24

the author is a little long-winded explanations and goes off on tangents that are really not necessary to the story. I'm a big fan of Apollo but there are many better reads on Audible on the subject as compared to this particular book.

very insightful but a little dry...

Revisado: 10-19-23

the book provided insights into the thinking of our political leaders at the time during the missile crisis. it's amazing to finally find out what went on behind closed doors thanks to the recordings that Kennedy made during that time..

I think the current super powers political leadership should read the book and see what parallels are happening now that also occurred during the missile crisis... and learn from it.
