This book needs to be mandatory reading for these times. The connections with our present predicaments are absolutely there.

Not a collection of mere biographies

Revisado: 01-08-24

I was dubious about this book at first because i thought it would be a collection of biographical essays. i cannot be happier to have been wrong about that.
I found it to be a very thoughtful and enlightening analysis of the judicial system.
Ms. Lithwick manages to pull at least a couple of hopeful points out of the wreck that were the Trump years.
The section on the census and elections are absolutely on point.
There is much to be learned an ponder about in these 10 chapters.
Well written and better structured it was a pleasure to listen to her performance, even when i tend to take issue with some of the performances decisions. This is obviously a minor detail, but i wonder about why she chose to render the "NAACP" as she does, instead of the more familiar form. it is not strictly wrong, of course, but it forces the mind to stop paying attention to what she is saying to figure out what org she is referring to.
All in all, i absolutely recommend this book.

Loved it.

Dickens at its sarcastic best.
Spectacular performance by Derek Jacobi.
I know readers and performers are a matter of taste, but I am not sorry to have chosen this performance.

Not to be missed

Revisado: 11-22-22

This is two masterpieces for the price of one.
The main story is Dickens through and through. the other one is the other Curiosity Shop, the description of victorian England at its most human level.
Not to be missed the non human character: the Pony.
As far as the performance is concerned, it is well done, with a weak point here and there which does not detract from the enjoyment.

One of my favorite readers

Revisado: 11-05-22

The choice of texts is flawless. The readings are engaging. One might not always agree with this or that characterization, but they still work.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this and Other Harrison readings and look forward to more.

compilación problems

Revisado: 10-27-22

I love Harry Potter. what I do not love is the fact that this recording/audio compilation for some reason cuts about 1 second of audio every so often. that did not happen in the cassette/CD versions of the audio book, so it is definitely something about the way Audible compiles its audio. I returned the book for that reason and will not buy the rest of the series.

chapter list?

Revisado: 10-27-22

Being that this is a collection, I would have appreciated a descriptive chapter list.
I like the stories and the narrador but I was hoping not having to take the trouble of doing my own list.

Well researched And masterfully narrated

Revisado: 09-06-22

Once you obviate the music and its distracting volume (hint to producers) this is a fantastic listen.
