A fun part two to Frindle through the eyes of yet another young red haired boy. Very enjoyable listen.

Riveting, Raw, and Wild

Revisado: 08-16-24

Story after story of Africa and its often successful attempts to kill. Danger so dense that the odds aren’t quite in your favor and that locals have an attitude of near apathy at futility of resistance. If even half of these stories are half true, you could make mere survival in the wilds of this continent your personal Everest and not leave much to be desired in raw tenacious bravery… or maybe stupidity. Either way, this book is well worth the listen.

Phenomenal

Revisado: 07-06-23

Captures the Vietnam Huey war in a way that leaves you hoping for the author’s survival against ridiculous odds. You begin to feel as if you know Tom Johnson as he reveals many mistakes and faux pas that could have easily been skipped over. His dry wit comes through time and again in this memorable tale. This book somehow conveys its entire narrative on a painful subject without leaving the taint of bitter regret many Vietnam books are want to leave. I highly recommend this book. As an aside, I would say this is a PG13 rated book.

Intriguing

Revisado: 02-15-23

I am not a political junky or a history buff, so as such, I found the life of the man called Bibi to be simply fascinating. So many historically pivotal events were lived through and influenced by this man and his family. Before reading this, I had no idea how the politics of Israel were conducted. This book is very insightful as to how the government of Israel is run. Very well written and a great defense of all stands taken.

This book is long and many I’ve spoken to have spoken of listening fatigue as the political life of Bibi goes on and on. Might I suggest, 1.4x speed? This may be slightly irritating at first, but since your listening to political situations, you may find it amusing to imagine you’re listening to Ben Shapiro. This will cut down considerably on listening time. Subtracting roughly 7hr.

This book was purchased based on a Ted talk and a personal recommendation. The theory in this book is very intuitive, yet elusive. Starting with why, is brilliantly explained and illustrated from many different examples, which may be easily grasped.

Heart Rending

Revisado: 02-05-18

You could feel the agony and helplessness as soul after soul slipped into the chilling depths. And from afar, where hope was laid, there came a resounding silence.

Captivating read.

Revisado: 07-27-17

This book might be said to lack the astounding originality we have come to expect of Michael J. Sullivan. But, when realizing the perimeters within which this book must be contained, there is a grace with which Sullivan caresses familiar story lines with new and enchanting characters. There were some points in this story when it was easier than usual to take a break, but overall Sullivan was his usual captivating self. Roan was one character I feel might be overwrought but she feels like a savant. Since I have never met one, perhaps they are that amazing and I am just out there. Overall though, very good story.

Splendid narration on a splendid story

Revisado: 07-12-16

This classic story by Charles Dickens is brought so to life in this wonderful narration, that, if it be possible, the show is stolen quite away from Dickens. Each character comes to life in a heretofore unattained manner, I am sure. One could quite forget in which era they were born, while enraptured in this tale, that places you squarely in a world which possesses a richness of language quite lost in the past. This save in the storied mind of a man long dead, yet living on the pages of many of the most classic of literary wonders.
