Historia
For centuries, works of art have been stolen in countless ways from all over the world, but no one has been quite as successful at it as the master thief Stéphane Breitwieser. Carrying out more than two hundred heists over nearly eight years—in museums and cathedrals all over Europe—Breitwieser, along with his girlfriend who worked as his lookout, stole more than three hundred objects, until it all fell apart in spectacular fashion.

Fantastic revelation of extraordinary thieves
Revisado: 01-09-25
Barely believable addiction and tactics of a couple is the subject of a well presented writing by Finkle. Intense and precise narration makes it a hardly believable true story that is unstoppable.

This monumental book tells the enthralling story of one of the greatest accomplishments in our nation's history, the building of what was then the longest suspension bridge in the world. The Brooklyn Bridge rose out of the expansive era following the Civil War, when Americans believed all things were possible.

Historia
The last don is Domenico Clericuzio, a wise and ruthless man who is determined to see his heirs established in legitimate society but whose vision is threatened when secrets from the family's past spark a vicious war between two blood cousins. This is a mesmerizing tale that takes us inside the equally corrupt worlds of the mob, the movie industry and the casinos - where beautiful actresses and ruthless hit men are ruled by lust and violence.

Historia
When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.

Isaacson’s thoroughness and organization
Revisado: 02-07-24
Terrific and educational recording. Elon Musk is a one of a kind genius who is replete with quirks and foibles who has had a profound effect on the world and continues to astound. It is remarkable that he hasn’t gone stark raving insane with a mind that rarely shuts down and continues to take risks others shun.

That she is such a loser

Disliked her more after listening which was hard to fathom. She’s the most unqualified for national office that I can imagine.

A waste of time
Revisado: 01-25-22
Ms Seahorn didn’t do herself any favors reading this story. She’s very talented actress but she should have taken a clue from the title of this program. Convolution was so convoluted as to to make for an almost unlistenable piece of writing. I kept trying to suspend disbelief in the story line but it proved to be impossible.

Historia
When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.

FATASTIC LOOK INSIDE BASEBALL
Revisado: 05-03-12
If you could sum up Ball Four in three words, what would they be?
Entertaining, informative, heartwarming
What did you like best about this story?
The best part of this book was the author's narration.
What does Jim Bouton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Involvement and emotion
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There were several. Bouton's narration was more like a one on one visit with the man. He laughed at the silly stuff and broke down when what he wrote touched him deeply.
Any additional comments?
This book is the real deal. It is a story of real baseball from the perspective of a player. The fun, the drudgery, the joy and the pain of the game come through Bouton's narration in a way that puts the listener in the story. His humor, confusion, outrage and emotional involvement in the game comes through loud and clear and is augmented by the revised edition additions to the original book. I laughed and I cried as I listened to this tale of a man inside baseball who loved the game and his family, fought hypocrisy in the front office and through horseplay showed his love and respect for his compatriots, competitors and officials. This was one of the best books I have ever listened to and I think that means something having over 500 titles in my Audible Library
