Historia
It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

Sad, sometimes shocking, sometimes not
Revisado: 02-01-23
I really enjoyed this sad and honest look into Prince Harry's inner world and experiences. He really has become a true Prince and hero. I laughed, I cried, I mostly shook my head at the incessant harassment by the media. Printing this took courage and was finally a chance for the spare to take some power back and stand up for himself and his family.

48 hours is a lot of history, and worth it!
Revisado: 12-04-20
told like a story, this GW biography keeps you interested in the USA's history starting with GW's parents, through the Revolutionary War, and up until Martha Washington's last breath. The narration is solid and not distracting. Recommend to anyone interested in GW or this time period of US history.

Historia
The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.

Are you a Maven?
Revisado: 04-20-20
I always enjoy Gladwell's work, and I particularly appreciate his afterward. About half way through I found I was able to more clearly consume this information by asking myself if I am a Maven, or perhaps am I a Connector? And if I were any of these, how would I know?

A Bombay Mafia Love Story
Revisado: 06-13-19
I loved it. I felt like I was in Bombay and I could understand the struggles of every day life. Roberts did a great job carrying the story and tieing up all loose ends. This story also helped me do a fair bit of thinking and sustained my wanderlust... for the moment! Would recommend and will definitely read again!

Solid ending but felt a bit rushed.
Revisado: 04-26-19
Solid series and I'd recommend it. This final book while offering a solid ending felt a bit rushed and was challenging to follow at times. But alas I was invested in the series and had to know to outcome, and for that it was pretty good.

The conclusion of the Mistborn trilogy fulfills all the promise of the first two books. Revelations abound, connections rooted in early chapters of the series click into place, and surprises, as satisfying as they are stunning, blossom like fireworks to dazzle and delight. It all leads up to a finale unmatched for originality and audacity that will leave listeners shaking their heads in wonder, as if awaking from an amazing dream.

Great performance on a pretty good story
Revisado: 11-02-18
This is book three. If you've made it this far then it's worth it to finish. I think the series is more aimed at young adults. Story is pretty good and there are a few unexpected twists. I'm ultimately glad I read the series but I could have done without some of the seemingly teenage drama between the two primary characters.

Historia
Superstar comedian and Hollywood box-office star Kevin Hart turns his immense talent to the written word by writing some words. Some of those words include: the, a, for, above, and even even. Put them together and you have the funniest, most heartfelt, and most inspirational memoir on survival, success, and the importance of believing in yourself since Old Yeller.

An original story from the Hart
Revisado: 09-12-18
Kevin puts it all out there in this bare-it-all biographical comedy. He discusses life events that lead to his successful comedy career. it also reads as somewhat of a self-help book while making sure to mention the steps that worked for Kevin. I'd recommend it for anyone looking for an interesting story and or who may be in a bit of a rut.

Historia
Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

Gaiman takes you through several wonderful noorse myths to introduce you to the gods and ultimately their fates at Ragnorok. Narration was fun. Would have liked to see a few extra stories mixed into the fold.

Zach lives by the mantra: When life gives you a wheelchair, make lemonade. Whether recounting a valiant childhood attempt to woo Cindy Crawford, encounters with zealous faith healers, or the time he crapped his pants mere feet from Dr. Phil, Zach shares his fumbles with unflinching honesty and characteristic charm. By his 30th birthday, Zach had grown into an adult with a career in entertainment, millions of fans, a loving family, and friends who would literally carry him up mountains.

Take some time to get to know Zach! He's a stand up dude, making his way trough the world using comedy as his vehicle. Okay so maybe he sits in a wheelchair but you get point.

Historia
When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity. Cloning, feel-good drugs, anti-aging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media: has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storyteller's genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 A.F. (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity.

The last few chapters make the book
Revisado: 05-02-17
Slow start with a relatively slow story. The last few chapters make the book and give you a fair bit to chew on. Almost thought I was going to give up on this book but glad I stuck through. You can read other reviews to catch what the book is really about; I'm just providing the info I wish I knew ahead since I was listening for pleasure and made a quick decision to use up credits before they expire.
