Great narration. Interesting. His thoughts and opinions are based on facts and studies. He makes a few assumptions, yes, but he presents a vast amount of real facts and information and leaves the ultimate conclusions to the reader. His personal observations are from his travels across the globe to see and study various civilizations and their myths and cultures, both ancient and modern, He shows the big picture of humankind and our interconnected place in history today and for our future.
It’s a surprisingly easy and understandable read for such complex information and thoughts. He breaks this down with sensible organization and well-written language. It is a big volume, but I took it in pieces, listening when I was in the mood to be carried away to another plane of senses and thinking. His voice is calm yet enthusiastic, articulate yet casually friendly.
He invited me into his world of vast experience, and I left with great knowledge from which to draw my own conclusions and rationally accept his. Stick with it. Digest at your own pace. It’s worth the listen.

One of the saddest times for Rep Jaime Raskin ; and one of the saddest times for our country’s democracy.

Raskin tells the inside story of the impeachment trial - through his eyes and from his great mind. As a lawyer, I especially appreciated the “courtroom” prosecution by him and the other impeachment managers - but it is explained well - the “why” and “why not”, etc.

Intertwined with all is the tragedy of the sudden loss of his son who remains with him in spirit and even guides him at timer. This father’s love of his whole big family makes this account of the great impeachment a very heartfelt story.

He’s a leader who is smart, kind, compassionate, loyal, and bound by the rule of law and his cherished constitution. He is also a man of restraint when necessary.
I don’t think I could have had that in his situations

If you are a diehard MAGA patriot, then skip this (and I doubt you are even reading this); however, if you are a history buff, a person interested in the impeachment or not, regardless of any political leanings, you will enjoy this one.

Thank you, Representative Raskin, for all you have done and continue to do for our great nation.

I don’t usually write reviews, but this collection is so excellent that everyone needs to dive right in. It’s not going to make you feel guilty or resentful)whichever applies); instead, it will make you feel understanding, compassion, informed, and motivated.
Each chapter is a wonderful stand alone study or telling, but i read from cover to cover. I had high expectations for this book, and it was greater. The narration is very, very well done also. I gifted this book, and I will read it someday, but it makes for the perfect audio.

You don’t not have to be a fan of Steve Earle’s songwriting - or even have heard of him - to enjoy this story he has penned into literature. You will become a fan. To those of us who are fans, it is yet another great work filled with transformative characters symbolic of darkness, denial, hope, belief, trust, change,and redemption. They are perfectly voiced by Earle, who narrates.
The story is spiritual and introspective; yet it is witty and fast-paced.
Earle is a master of story and song; and this shows the delightful side of his stories put into a novella form. I hope we see many more. Until then, we can find his profound stories within his songs.

If you’re not already a fan of his songs and the views from his eyes, then you are in for a treat.
If you are a fan, then settle in for more pholosophizing and romanticizing.
And some choice songs from influences.
In addition to being able to rock it out, he IS a folk singer, a real humdinger (to borrow the words of our beloved John Prine, RIP) If you loved this, find his “story and song” shows.
He is a powerful force and face of some liberal causes, and we are lucky that he gets it out there.
He’s missed in Nashville, but we appreciate his visits.
(You should do another one of these. Can’t wait to see what’s next. And to hear it too.

Rum for all of them - for adventures both on the sea and in the soul. I didn’t want the ship to dock, and I enjoyed it without pause.

Mr Dommek, Jr. has done an excellent job here. I learned much about Alaskan tribal culture and the people settled there today - as a “white girl” from out of town. (Referencing a movie clip within the book). In podcast form, he combines interviews, courtroom drama, travels, and music. It’s suspenseful as to the real world and the possible world. He’s an excellent story-teller; just like his ancestors he has inherited this gift. Thank you for sharing with us.
