Historia
Tim Ekaterin raised millions of dollars to finance the purchase of Sandcastle, a champion racer, only to discover an apparent defect in the horse. Investigating further, Ekaterin learns that the business of investment banking is nothing compared to the cutthroat world of horseracing—a world where violence and murder only raise the stakes....

My favorite novel, my favorite protagonist.
Revisado: 08-02-19
I first read this book as a teenager and had a crush on Tim, who was well spoken, kind hearted, heroic and honorable. The book remains my favorite "pop novel".
My only issue with the performance is that the narrator's voice is a bit old and slightly stodgy sounding to be Tim. it was performed with the right amount of angst and emotion and tenderness, and while he is a great narrator for Dick's other books... in this case, I had read the book so many times I'd fleshed out such an idea of who Tim was had he been real that the voice, not being in keeping energy wise with Tim's vitality, kept taking me out of the performance. This is not the narrator's fault... this is merely a reflection of how close the character and the book are to my heart.
But I'm sure I will listen to it a million more times.

My favorite of all of the Joe Ledger books.
Revisado: 02-28-19
I love how action-packed this book is and how Maberry is taking modern current events and tying them into the storyline. I swear the mayor of Happy Valley serves on the board in my gated community. I also get the distinct feeling that Jonathan Maberry realizes women can kick ass, but there are some women who are going to fall on the wrong side and subjugate others. There are heroes and villains on both side of the gender divide.

I loved the book from the opening sentence. If you have ever struggled with acceptance, this is for you. sometimes you have to find your own tribe, and accept each other and yourselves. Once you accept yourself the world doesn't have a choice. I am a pageant girl, though not your typical one. I get how and why Willowdean was fighting for everyon's right to compete. We are all beautiful.

Historia
In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child—not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power—the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.

I do not like to watch movies or read books again within the first year or so, but this was so good I want to begin it again just minutes after finishing it.

Historia
How do some startups go from zero to billions in mere months? How did Alexander the Great, YouTube tycoon Michelle Phan, and Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon climb to the top in less time than it takes most of us to get a promotion? What do high-growth businesses, world-class heart surgeons, and underdog marketers do in common to beat the norm? One way or another, they do it like computer hackers. They employ what psychologists call "lateral thinking: rethinking convention and breaking "rules" that aren't rules.

Revisado: 12-12-17
I found the information in this book to be unique and very useful. It was entertaining enough to listen to for long stretches at a time and I didn't feel overwhelmed by the amount of information provided . It was well-paced and kept my interest.

Interesting until you realize how restrictive!
Revisado: 12-11-17
I couldnt finish. Too restrictive. Its fine for someone who gets up ar 2 am to go buy cookie dough, or who schedules there whole day to get doughnts from a certain shop...but that is not my issue, so I dont need anything so restrictive. Brain cognition info is interesting, though. But I will just buy a book on that.

Very informative.
Revisado: 12-11-17
I found the information in this book very interesting and enjoyed the breakdown of the science behind it. What I have started doing of the program is working... but I'm telling you guys right now I'm not doing the cryotherapy. Our ancestors worked hard to create the technology tht eventually became Central Heating and I wouldn't want their sacrifice to be for naught. But I'll give everything else a shot.

Historia
In a voice both haunting and startlingly immediate, Nitta Sayuri describes her life as a geisha. Taken from her home at the age of nine, she is sold into slavery to a renowned geisha house. Witness her transformation as you enter a world where appearances are paramount, virginity is auctioned to the highest bidder, women beguile powerful men, and love is scorned as illusion.

4th time through, just as captivating
Revisado: 12-06-16
I feel like the world's worst feminist yearning for Sayuri to become the Chairman's mistress...such a romantic story of people living their most hopeful lives in situations that were not necessarily of their own making, due to the tradition and unfairness found in other eras and cultures. It enthralls the anthropologist in me. And at the same time it makes the modern woman in me quite pissy. I guess good books create such contradiction in the spirit.

It took a paranormal turn but I ain't mad...;-)
Revisado: 09-20-16
Right around book 3 these series usually take a turn for the paranormal. I usually get annoyed even as I try to tell myself it's not a documentary it's a zombie book. I can buy zombies or ghosts I can buy zombies or werewolves I cannot buy zombie ghost werewolves. And yet I love the paranormal turn this book took. I can't explain it I was just along for the ride and I enjoyed it very much.
