Well organized, clarifying, excruciating.

This book was exactly what I needed it to be. As an American Jewish person in my 60s I realize that I was kept very ignorant of the actual history of the last hundred years in Palestine and given what has occurred since 2023 I felt it was my responsibility to educate myself. This book absolutely serve that purpose. It is well written, straightforward, and organized in a way that brings everything into focus.

Very Important Food for Thought

Revisado: 06-26-23

While at times Ms. Blair runs hyperbolic and definitely didn't get all the physiology stuff just right, the main ideas here are simple and yet absolutely mind-boggling. This is absolutely worth listening to. I am a women's healthcare provider (midwife) and I will recommend this to my colleagues.

One of the most important books available.

Revisado: 07-03-22

I bought this book several years ago with the intention to listen to it but just couldn’t make myself do it. When Putin invaded Ukraine I thought now is the time. This is a very important book for understanding the connection between the past and the present - and the potential future. I cannot overstate how important it is that people understand what this book explains so clearly. I highly recommend it even though I warn you it is a difficult read.

Awful Narrator

Revisado: 02-13-21

I watched the Netflix series and loved it so much I thought I'd give the book a listen to see how faithful the show was to the book - to see if, as often is the case, the book was stronger. It may have been but with this reader, who would know? She sounds like a talentless musician using autotune. When she changes her voice to be characters other than the protagonist, they all sound the same and none of them sound like people... her voice literally becomes robotic and forced. She has a strange inflection that is so distracting it's almost impossible to enjoy the story. I cannot imagine how she was given the job of reading books. What a miserable, disappointing pairing.

Would have seemed like a fairytale until the Trump era

Revisado: 12-20-20

This is a story that blends fiction with autobiography masterfully. The writing is brilliant and Roth tells a story about how easy it would be for fascism to rise in the United States because of the influence of foreign powers. It is a cautionary tale that has come true. There are remarkable similarities between the current President of the United States and President Lindbergh. A very timely work.

As ever Mr. Coates writes with such eloquence and now tells us a story that helps us to begin to comprehend the repair necessary for this country to heal. Reparations. Amen.

Exceptional memoir of an exceptional American icon

Revisado: 05-19-20

I'm not really a memoir sort of person. This story of an exceptional life still in progress was captivating. Written with dignity, complexity, and honesty and read well, an excellent listen. I am mostly in awe of what she quietly accomplished on behalf of the country she loves.
