Hardly anyone ever leaves Des Moines, Iowa. But Bill Bryson did, and after 10 years in England he decided to go home, to a foreign country. In an ageing Chevrolet Chevette, he drove nearly 14,000 miles through 38 states to compile this hilarious and perceptive state-of-the-nation report on small-town America.

Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

Good book with a great narrative, but I didn't walk away with any real new life lessons or perspectives. Worth a credit if you are sitting on handful.

Narration was hard to follow
Revisado: 11-13-17
Good classic American folk lore, but the narrator's voice was too deep making it hard to follow along. This isn't worth a full credit, but is worth a buck or so if it's on sale.

Benjamin Button was literally born an old man. He lived a backwards life, for his body grew younger as the years passed him by. Come and listen to the original, unabridged story by F. Scott Fitzgerald which inspired the movie.

This is a quick and easy listen. Not sure I'd spend a credit on this book, but if it's on sale for a couple bucks it's worth a buy.

Better than Hulu
Revisado: 11-13-17
I listened to this book before watching the Hulu series. Without sounding cliche, the book is better. Yes the Hulu series is good, but the book is told through a different lens and offers more insight. Excellent narration too! AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY

Great story and narration
Revisado: 11-13-17
The narrator, Craig Wasson, did a great job as usual. And while most Steven King books tend to drag on and on, this one was tight and kept a good pace. Solid story, solid narration, great book. AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY

In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself.

Meh, no thanks
Revisado: 05-24-16
Being a child from the 80s and 90s, and now an adult working in the tech industry building apps, this book seemed right up my alley. Instead the book was just filled with a bunch of pop culture references, which felt hollow and annoying. Thus book was like listening hours upon hours of the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons rant.

Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their successes over and over? People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers might have little in common, but they all started with why.
