Historia
Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

Disappointed
Revisado: 06-30-24
This could have been a FANTASTIC book BUT unfortunately the author decided to inject current politics. So disappointed in the author and publisher..... an another example of how a potentially wonderful historical story was used to try to influence. I am very apolitical in all forms of entertainment. I listened to the entire story hoping it would go to center. Disappointed and probably the last of this author and maybe publisher's work that I will purchase. For me if there is a slant to either side, I will no longer buy the work.

Historia
Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University.

Enlightening
Revisado: 03-12-24
I read at listen 10 books a month and I could not stop until finished. At times I was conflicted, horrified, intrigued, sympathetic, interested and educated. It never amazes me how much people can endure and overcome. Highly recommend this book.

Historia
Mitch Rapp hates owing anyone a favor—especially when it’s the world’s most powerful crime lord. But when Damian Losa calls, Mitch is honor bound to answer. The Syrian government has created a highly addictive new narcotic that it plans to distribute throughout Europe. It’s a major threat to Losa’s business and he’s determined to stop it by any means necessary. Rapp is the perfect choice for the mission. Not only does he have extensive experience operating in the Middle East, but he’s also entirely expendable.

Historia
Letty Davenport’s days working a desk job at are behind her. Her previous actions at a gunfight in Texas—and her incredible skills with firearms—draw the attention of several branches of the US government, and make her a perfect fit for even more dangerous work. The Department of Homeland Security and the NSA have tasked her with infiltrating a hacker group, known only as Ordinary People, that is intent on wreaking havoc. Letty and her reluctant partner from the NSA pose as free-spirited programmers for hire and embark on a cross country road trip to the group’s California headquarters.

Wanted to like it
Revisado: 05-03-23
I really wanted to like this book but I struggled listening the entire time. It seemed like forced women empowerment that lacked all credibility. Characters and plot poorly put together. It was like someone flipped through all the news channels then try to come up with a book. I generally love Patterson it sometimes when his books are co-written, they are lack luster and disjointed. Hated the voice of the reader.

Historia
“I’m sorry but the answer’s no.” Reluctant author, Anthony Horowitz, has had enough. He tells ex-detective Daniel Hawthorne that after three books he’s splitting and their deal is over. The truth is that Anthony has other things on his mind. His new play, a thriller called Mindgame, is about to open at the Vaudeville Theater in London’s West End. Not surprisingly, Hawthorne declines a ticket to the opening night. The play is panned by the critics. In particular, Sunday Times critic Margaret Throsby gives it a savage review, focusing particularly on the writing.

I listen 15-20 books a month and I could not even finish this one. The define plot nonexistent and after a few hours the voice of performer was like nails on a chalk board. One of the few books, I have not been able to finish!

Mixed review
Revisado: 11-08-22
I read 5-10 books a week and this one did nitrate high with me. The writer has a grandiose view of himself which I didn’t appreciate. I think evidence can be twisted and his later cases seemed to be a bit of a sell out. I don’t know the facts of the cases so not opinions of guilt but question how much was left out. Ok book but didn’t rank high with me.

Must read book
Revisado: 08-13-22
Excellent! The words flow from
The pages flowed like a river. The description of the low country and life on the marsh especially appealing as it rang so true. Loved characters in book and how you vividly understood them. The story and plot were excellent. The end quite predictable but I loved it.

Disappointed
Revisado: 12-03-21
I am huge Patterson and Alex Cross series fan. This was the first that was a disappointment. I am not sure if it was narrator reading the book or just general story. I really did not care for the performance and don’t think I would purchase any other books with this narrator. I struggled to listen to the entire book and almost quick several times. The story line seemed forced.
