Forthcoming memoir

Revisado: 10-04-24

Fascination telling of Trump’s way of seeing the world. If he could have stuck to the plan McMaster developed we’d be better off. And what shameful actions by Rex Tillerson and Jim Mattis. Those two should be remembered as more interested in power than doing the right thing

Ridiculous narration

Revisado: 10-30-23

Outstanding story, well written and meticulously researched. It is a herculean task to sift through all of the self-serving versions of the events of the Wager, but Grann does it well, thoroughly and interestingly,

But the narrator! Every...word...has...a...dramatic...pause. It became so distracting as it went along. Grann should have investigated the list of narrators as well as he did the Wager

Fascinating Story

Revisado: 03-28-23

I knew little of the Plains Indians until I listened to this book. Great research done by the author. The skill of the Comanches in warfare and their lifestyle was thoroughly described. Quanah Parker was a remarkable man, having his way of life taken from him yet very successfully adapting to the USA way of life. Great narration as well.

Weakest Connelly book, uninspired narration

Revisado: 05-04-22

I’m a huge fan of Connelly’s Bosch series, but this book was so weak. The premise of chasing Daisy’s killer was good, but there didn’t seem to be enough material to fill a book. Even the partnering with Ballard could have been a great idea, but the wasted pages of Renee’s late show call outs were a meandering mess. The book makes progress on the Daisy case, then abruptly follows Renee chasing the art theft. Back to the Daisy case, now Renee is called out to the home of a pervy stand up comic. A drowning man on the beach, and Renee consoles the lifeguard. What a meandering mess. And the HORRIBLE back and forth with the two narrators. Welliver is great, as usual, but I didn’t care for or like Christine Lakin at all. When she voices Bosch, it sounds like she has a cold. And in any case, it was distracting going back and forth. A forgettable book.

Inspiring leader

Revisado: 04-03-22

I am usually skeptical of autobiographies, as the author tends to exaggerate his accomplishments and downplay areas where he came up short. But Obama tells his story with humility, grace, and honest reflections of his successes and failures. Great stories of his family, concern for the effects of the presidency on his kids, and his relationship with Michelle. A very wonderful book.

Great book, iffy narration

Revisado: 05-03-21

The production of the recording was spiced together inelegantly. The narrator would read a sentence, then there would be an unnatural pause where you questioned if the playback had stopped, just to have the narration begin again.

Excellent book other than that.

Great story, poor narration

Revisado: 11-11-20

Mr. Specter does not have a talent for narration. Speaks too quickly, sentences are too quickly started after a drop off in volume of the previous sentence.

Amazing story

Revisado: 01-08-19

I was unaware of the contributions of these three men to WW2, other than Doolittle's Raid. Winston Groom weaves a thoroughly entertaining biography of all 3 and their incredible contributions to aviation. Great book.

Really poor narrator. Monotone and hard to listen.

Revisado: 06-09-17

Great story, love revisiting the old characters. But the narrator.....Awful, monotone, sleep-inducing. I hope there is a new narrator for the rest of the series.

Sophomoric tripe
