A pretty good listen

Revisado: 04-02-25

I like the story. It was written by a younger woman, and it tells her trail story along with a friend she meets and along with the relationship that she had before, and after the trip. The only thing I can say is that there’s a lot of swearing in the book. I’m not approved or anything. I think an appropriately placed F bomb is great, but when you sprinkle them to liberally throughout a book it cheapens it.

Outstanding

Revisado: 03-13-25

I feel like it must’ve taken so much effort and been a very difficult book to write for the author. Coming to terms with your own digressions publicly is never easy. The author did it in a very convincing and humble way, and also weave an excellent crime story together. Super interesting book just the right length. Really enjoyed it.

Another outstanding book by this author

Revisado: 03-07-25

If you stumbled on this book by accident, read all the other authors books. So well written and just generally excellent in terms of history. This particular book is good because it shows the history of the development of Florida as well as the mansions. Really enjoyable book. Once you’re done with this book, Reed, his other book last train to paradise.

Another home run

Revisado: 01-09-25

I started reading this author a couple years ago and can’t put down any book that he does. The book about Key West Railroad was awesome and every ensuing book is great. So well written and well researched. Doesn’t get into too much minutia. Excellent history and just great writing. Read this book and then want to read all his other

A nice listen.

Revisado: 12-20-24

A really nice listen about a young woman who does the Appalachian Trail. I love the narration. It was terrific. It got a little religious and spiritual at some point, but I guess that’s her prerogative and when you write a book you get to do that. All above everything else it was just a.

A good lesson

As always, Malcolm Gladwell put together a well thought out and researched intriguing story. I think there’s a little bit of a bias sometimes but that’s part of him and I really enjoy this whole book. His books are terrific.

A little bit dry.

Revisado: 11-02-24

A lot less history of the PNM corporation and more experiences of the flight attendants who flew for the airline. It’s a nice insightful view. It’s really pretty dry listening to. A little bit disjointed, but in the end it all kind of comes together. It’s OK.

Author has a clear agenda

Revisado: 09-25-24

I think I wanted to listen to this book because it sounded interesting about addresses. Unfortunately, halfway through the book you realize that the authors, bias and agenda for Black Lives Matter throughout the remainder of the book. It’s a skewed book that has some interesting parts to it, but is clearly biased by the authors racial in equality agenda. If it’s something you’re interested in by all means listen to it. For me, I just wanna listen to something about history and not be forced to listen to some other person.

I like the story of his journey.

Revisado: 09-08-24

This is a nice review of a guy working in a really really cheap CD hotel for a year. Is everything you expect. There’s no stunning revelations other than the fact that these hotels rely on low labor and cheap sleazy guest who have low expectations. Who is a really good book overall.

If you like the movie, you’ll like the book

Revisado: 08-20-24

It’s less about The Blues Brothers and more about the actors involved. Really good book and the last part all about the movie is interesting. It’s more of an autobiography of John Belushi.
