Funny, Entertaining, and Revealing

This book kept my interest from beginning to end. An intimate view into a fascinating life from early struggles to current explosive success. Such candor about the true pain, embarrassments, joys and emotions is uncommon. I loved the book!

How close we came to losing the Revolutionary War!

Revisado: 01-24-18

If you want the inside story of what actually happened in Revolutionary War, this is the book for you. I learned never before heard of insights from both sides of the war, and was most fascinated to find that were it not for one erroneous but fatal decision by the British army, America today could easily have been a British colony. Very interesting read for history buffs.

Another great book by Ken Fisher

Revisado: 01-24-18

Perhaps I am biased, because Ken has been managing my assets for years, but I have come to love his practical, down to earth theories and advice. I highly recommend it!

Great Book! Highly Recommended

Revisado: 01-24-18

No one has ever accused me of being a conspiracy theorist, but I was astounded to learn the things our government has done (does) around the world. Perhaps these things are necessary for the protection of our national interests (or maybe not?), but If you truly want to open your eyes to the way the world (and our government) works, then this book is a must read. It keep me captivated from cover to cover.

This is scary stuff!

Revisado: 01-24-18

I have often reacted to things that our president has done or said by thinking that this is just not normal. This book, authored by 27+ professionals with sufficient medical credentials to make that assessment, confirms those fears. The contributors to this book offer their professional opinion, based on the presidents own statements and actions, that Trump may not be just an unconventional president, but a sick one. None of the contributors have done an actual examination of the president, but with the wealth of video and audio available through todays 24/7 news reporting, these experts each independently reached a unanimous conclusion that the president's current state exceeds "not normal" and approaches a level of psychosis. This book is both truly entertaining and scary!

Great Book! Highly Recommended

Revisado: 01-24-18

I loved the narrator's passion while reading (performing) the book. The inflections in his voice truly brought the book to life. I also loved that the author backed up every statement he made about the president with actual facts and incidents to support them. Regardless as to what your political persuasion, you can't argue with the president's own actions and statements (or maybe you can.....that may be the problem).

Neither Fair, Balanced or Objective

Revisado: 05-13-17

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

No, listening to this book was not time well spent. I could have utilized the time much better reading something else. The writer of this book is clearly biased to the right as he "cherry picks" transgressions of certain presidents which he obviously doesn't like and ignores the exact same transgressions in others. The author's basic premise seems to be that presidents who adhere to His interpretation of the U.S. constitution were great and those that didn't conform to His interpretation of the constitution screwed up America. This leads him to demonize for example, Abraham Lincoln for initiating civil war without approval from congress, but fail to add Ronald Reagan to the list for backing the Contras against the Sandinistas after explicit directives from congress to not get the U.S. involved. And worse yet, Reagan funded the effort by flooding parts of the U.S. with drugs (the black and brown parts) and directing the revenues from those sales to the Contras in order to keep his hands clean. I consider this to be worse than anything Lincoln did. I also consider myself neither extreme left, moderate, or right, but a rational thinker. I lean more to the right on some issues (fiscal concerns), left on others (civil rights) and yet am moderate on others. When I am presented with clear propaganda such as this book, it sickens me, insults my intelligence, and no one gains from it.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Forbidden Archeology: The Hidden History of the Human Race

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Narration was good.

Do you think 9 Presidents Who Screwed Up America needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, see the above.

Any additional comments?

I was disappointed in that I was expecting a fair, balanced, objective read. What I got was biased propaganda.

Excellent Read...Highly Recommended!

Revisado: 10-16-04

This book was captivating from beginning to end, not only in content but in narration as well. I was moved not only by the power of the story, but equally so by the excellent writing skills of Frederick Douglass. This book ranks among the best of the many audiobooks I have heard.
