Really good

Revisado: 03-04-23

As good as the others, and a great continuation of the series. Some of the dialogue seemed forced. For instance, analogies made to be gross would be fine but came across as very forced in the moment. Still loved the book!

awful accent

Revisado: 11-10-19

please fix this. It could be good, however the embarrassing narration is similar to Hogan's Heroes. Let the story speak please.

Enjoyed it; inspiring

Revisado: 04-28-19

Inspiring book about the authors running career and more importantly spiritual journey. Ryan explains how he became closer to God through running, and how focusing on God Gabe him the freedom to run his best race both spiritually and physically. Overall an inspiring book for runners and specifically runners interested in the faith/meditation aspect of running.

Great book

Revisado: 04-16-19

Great narration, easy story. The book was motivating, interesting, and engaging. The author does a good job of making the listener believe in the possibility of success and highlights how misses can be a positive.

Surprised at the ratings...........

Revisado: 03-23-19

The book winds on about many irrelevant details. In doing so the narrative becomes lost and it becomes the story of a lot of things with little to tie it together. When the author does detail the parts of the bomb it becomes good, with good descriptions of the physics (though hardly comprehensive). Oddly some notable scientists are ignored, and a fairly significant plot by the Russians is ignored. Details about Japans atomic capabilities are factually inaccurate presumably because the author used secondary works which were inaccurate themselves.

Towards the end glaring historical revisionism takes place. The author weaves stories of the Japanese extreme willingness to fight to the last person throughout. Those stories are accurate. However they are used in a way to morally justify the atomic bomb with the author trying to build into a convincing narrative. It becomes a case of clear bias. I am not stating whether it was or was not moral, I am stating that the author unequivocally displays bias. Many well documented quotes from military leaders and their opinions are flatly avoided. Not mentioned at all. Each of those quotes were against the decision to bomb. Again, that does not mean it should or should not have happened. However by omission this becomes a work of historical revisionism.

Ultimately the destination is not at all worth the dull journey.

Remarkably tedious

Revisado: 11-01-18

The narrator did not work for me. The story itself was clearly dragged out from what should have been a much shorter book.

Fascinating

Revisado: 08-07-18

Fascinating story of a hotel dynasty.The story behind how the Hilton brand became what it is, is a lot more fascinating than it may at first seem. This book covers it well.

nicely finished the series

Revisado: 10-11-17

This is another great book by the author. The book finishes out the series based around undisclosed. I would not read this book without having read the previous two books in the series. narration was excellent as it was with the previous two books.
