Historia
Everyone knows Benedict Arnold - the Revolutionary War general who betrayed America and fled to the British - as history’s most notorious turncoat. Many know Arnold’s co-conspirator, Major John André, who was apprehended with Arnold’s documents in his boots and hanged at the orders of General George Washington. But few know of the integral third character in the plot: A charming young woman who not only contributed to the betrayal but orchestrated it.

How does this book possibly have an overall 4 star review?
Revisado: 05-15-23
This was a book club book I committed to finishing. Ugh. It was painful to listen to as the reader read in such a stunted, uneven way. I sped it up to get through it. And the author wrote this like a cheesy romance novel. The glamour of the clothes and the food was over described and then the dialog was silly and not even believable for the era. Skip this one.

Historia
New chapters on the brain, intersectionality, and parents. Simple, proven strategies that schools can start using today. With a view through an economic lens that has only become sharper and more focused since its initial publication in 1995, the premise owned by A Framework for Understanding Poverty is unchanged: Middle-class understandings of children and adults in poverty are often ill-suited for connecting with people in poverty and helping them build up the resources to rise out of poverty and into self-sufficiency.

Not a good book to listen to
Revisado: 01-22-22
The information in this book was thorough, informative and extremely well researched. The author should not be the reader, however. She was extremely hard to listen to, brash and aggressive. This is more of a text book with constant references to charts and appendices. Not an affective Audible read. This one should be bought in print and read with a highlighter. Wish I’d done that.

Historia
With El Chapo vulnerable as never before, Mexican and DEA authorities are closing in, and journalist Malcolm Beith, a Newsweek contributor who has spent years reporting on the drug wars, follows the chase with full access to senior officials and exclusive interviews with soldiers and drug traffickers in the region, including members of Guzman's cartel. The Last Narco combines fearless reporting with the story of El Chapo's legendary rise from a poor farming family to the "capo" of the world's largest drug empire.

The reading of this book was remarkably racist.
Revisado: 09-19-21
The story is a rough one as the mere name implies. Following isn’t always easy as it’s full of innumerable names and statistics, proof that the writer did his research for this book. The biggest issue was the awful Spanish accented English the reader injected when quoting a Mexican national. It was so unnecessary and racist. Added nothing to the story, every single native Spanish speaker doesn’t have the same accent. How this was deemed acceptable is a mystery. Wish I’d read this historic account and not listened to it.
