The iconic story of the iconic, In-N-Out Burger

Revisado: 01-04-24

This book allowed me to take an over 60-year-old stroll through memory lane and In-N-Out. I grew up a mile and a half from store number one in Baldwin Park.
The history was incredibly interesting and I commend the brutal honesty of the family history.
I loved hearing all of the fun facts, and gained an even higher respect for the company.

The captivating story with a subpar performance!

Revisado: 11-28-23

Having spent my career in grocery, I was captivated by the story of George Hormel and the company’s beginnings. I enjoyed the history of the various generations of people and how they fared in their lives. Is it related back to the principal officers of the company.
The downside was the narrators performance. This is a slippery slope, so please forgive me if I’ve offended anybody. I don’t know if it was poor recording, equipment, or if the narrator had a speech impediment, and/or a lisp. That stated the story, was at times, very difficult to listen to as the lisp was extremely irritating.

An incredible story butchered by a horrible narration

Revisado: 01-09-20

Peggy Sue Wallace Kennedy writes a story that is both honorable and remarkable. Her ability to understand the politics of her father and mother and her willingness and fortitude to right those wrongs with past leaders of the civil rights movement is an incredible journey.
With regard to this Audiobook, this wonderful story is butchered with the worst narration I have heard in over 250 Audible titles. Caitlin Thorburn butchers the English language to a point where simple words and phrases need to be replayed for listener understanding.
Although I highly recommend this book the listener must truly be an active listener so that the narration does not ruin the beautiful story told within.

Brutally Candid

Revisado: 05-16-19

This candid and brutally honest analysis of the Simpson murder case gives the listener cause to truly think. Regardless of where you stood during the trial, Vincent Bugliosi weaves a perfect stitch through the holes of both the prosecution and defense teams.
I only wish that Gil Garcetti would have asked a winner’s opinion rather than running for Mayor (I say this because if he was fully vested in winning this case, he would have).
BTW, Simpson was GUILTY!

Revealing Story

Revisado: 05-05-18

I had to really listen and, at times, play back a sentence or two. I listened with an open mind but it was somewhat difficult because of the circumstances.
Sue Klebold loves her son yet acknowledges the horrific pain that he caused. I think that she tends to want to justify that Dillon was subservient to Eric Harris. In my opinion, Dillion was just as evil.
This is a very good book and it certainly opened my eyes to brain health issues and the parents of murder-suicide children.
I feel for Sue Klebold and can hear her pain. I give her much credit for for candid story. She takes the high road while the Harris’ continue to hunker down and deny that Columbine ever happened.

An incredibly updated view of the life of General Grant

Revisado: 06-21-17

American Ulysses is an updated version of the many biographies dedicated to the life and times of general and President Grant. This book captures a very fair and updated understanding of what Ulysses S Grant accomplished for the African-American and Native American people of the United States. I highly recommend this volume to anyone who has yet to experience this simple soldier's story.

Reliving my youth

Revisado: 05-24-17

I was a tall kid that just started playing Little League. I could catch a ball so my coach placed me at first base. I watched Wes Parker play every chance I got. TV, listened to Vin Scully on my transistor and followed the team. This book brought those precious memories flooding back. Koufax, Drysdale, Wills, Toborg and so many others. Historic events and the Los Angeles Dodgers, what could be better?

Okay but skewed

Revisado: 05-04-17

The book itself did offer some revelations but is largely based on here say and unnamed sources. Thought provoking on some levels but in the end the listener will need to come to their own conclusion.

Outstanding Book

Revisado: 03-22-17

A historical masterpiece. Doris Kearns Goodwin weaves several elements in a systematic manner into an enjoyable and riveting story. Edward Herrmann reads this with his characteristic voice. Phenomenal.
