Great story telling about a point in history we all need to revisit.

Revisado: 03-08-24

This book should be a required reading. The story, yet so classic, feels as if it could have taken place yesterday. The book is perfectly narrated by a voice that pulls the listener deeply into the story. I had the added pleasure of listening while in our nation's capital and felt as though I could see some of the events depicted in the book, happening around me.

This book followed Team of Rivals on my reading list which made for a great pairing.

A must read for anyone going into politics or law enforcement

Revisado: 11-28-23

This book cut through the mysticism surrounding the FBI and provided a historic view into a past we as American citizens pray will never re-emerge. The book slants to the left on political views, but has enough historic value as to appeal to anyone interested in the history of the FBI. The book is well narrated with no distraction aspects of the narrator's voice. very well done take on a story every American needs to know. this should be a required read for anyone interested in law enforcement and politics.

I just can't finish this book

Revisado: 06-05-22

This is a well written story I want to know about an amazing figure in American history. unfortunately his story is under told.

I'm busy and figured an audio book would be the best way to hear about Mr. Douglass.

the book itself is outstanding as it tells his unbelievable story. The narration, however, made it unpalatable for me.

Let me explain. The narrator has a smooth, silky voice. His pronunciation is clear and his voice is relaxing.... all except one thing. He pronounces his Ds and Ts like he's trying to lightly spit a small bit of food, or a little pieces of debris from the tip of his tongue. As polished as he is, something tells me the issue isn't with him, but lies with the direction he was given. I believe it's supposed to be relaxing and placid.

However, as I listened I found my internal dialogue arguing, "maybe if I just use it as background noise, I'll get through the book." and, "but I'm supposed to listen, its an audio book, that's the point."

In the end, I couldn't hang. It was a waste of a credit and now I'm just reading the book.

In need of serious updating

Revisado: 08-17-21

This book has a well written message that is lost by the glamorization of now infamous people. Using the likes of Rudy Giuliani and Christopher Columbus as heros of success discredited the author and almost made me stop reading. in today's time, this is like praising Hitler. I will not recommend this out of touch book without a much needed update.

Too cliche

Revisado: 08-07-21

I loved the first book, but struggled to chew through this one. The author took what made Ready Player 1 a great story and over used it in this one.

Not a bad read

Revisado: 06-09-21

This book gets down to the basics and does not dazzle with much psychology behind leadership models. It's more, "if they..." "then do this...". This book creates a good foundation to move on to more complex leadership models.

Very informative book on oil and gas

Revisado: 05-06-21

This book was well narrated and used Rachel Maddow's signature way of taking seemingly unrelated incidents and colliding them to create a bigger picture.

The book made me think about the impact of large organizations and their manipulation of governments.

it's a good read and an even better listen.

Fun book!

Revisado: 08-09-20

Listened to this on a road trip and felt like W. Kamau Bell was in the passenger seat of my car. This is left wing comedy from a Gen X, Pearl Jam loving, black man's point of view.

Loved it!

Great story to share with a video game savvy teen.

Revisado: 07-08-18

Much better than the movie as books usually are. This book was great for me and my 13 year old son on a 3 day road trip. the trip unfortunately ended before the book was over. We made the last hour of the book our movie night and sat in the dark while blasting it through our speakers. It made for a memorable father, son experience!

Great story yet again from Steven King

Revisado: 08-01-17

Great continuance to the other books. It's obvious this book was written during a less politically correct time.
