The movie was great but this is much better!

Revisado: 08-10-24

The narrator was great and the story keeps you engaged minutes in. Not just a mob story it has so many things to ponder.

Maybe it takes a few times to get it

Revisado: 04-26-21

This is my second listen and I I feel I enjoyed much more than the first time as I was missing much of the meaning. This time I had to revisit a few passages but I really started to understand some of what Lewis was trying to get across about human nature. I will need to read this book one more time.

This book reminded me a lot of the Princess of Mars, which I really enjoyed.

The book loses me with the unique names of the characters and I mix up who is who.

Well it got me back into running

Revisado: 07-19-20

I wasn't much of a fan of this at all. It inspired me a little bit and the narrator was great so I didn't feel like it was a waste of my time. There are a few interesting nuggets here and there but more like random thoughts compiled together.

Two stories in one book

Revisado: 09-12-19

I found both stories were good but I didn't like how it flipped back and forth.

We can learn a lot from Dr. King

Revisado: 02-05-19

I haven't really given this specific event a lot of thought and never understood the importance fully until I heard the story from Dr. King's perspective. I recall that we studied this part of history in High School as a large Civil Rights movement and didnt get into specific details of specific events. Also I feel a lot of what Dr. King had advocated for has been lost in the various activist movements. the performance was great but the talking speed is way too slow I sped up to 1.6X.

This a great book and the narration was top notch

Revisado: 01-11-19

This book was really good and has been added to my favorite books of all time lost. I think the narration also added to the enjoyment of the book because Scott Brick does great voices to help make characters really come alive. If I had to criticize I would just say that the facts that come out through the narrator seem to repeat later in the book in the legal explanations. The subject matter is dark but I feel like the story is so much more than that. Reminds me of Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men".

I did begin to feel sorry for the characters about how life did them wrong and made them into what they became. Then my mind comes back to reality about what they chose to do and of the victims.

I get it already Grant was naive and a drunk

Revisado: 12-31-18

This was one a great book, but the author drove me crazy by mentioning every chance he had that Grant got drunk. I bet if you searched the word drink or drunk it would come up with 100 hits. other than that I enjoyed this book so much and learned a ton about Grant and learned how underrated his legacy was in my education. Grant is one of my favorite presidents now and I intend to read his memoirs to fill in some gaps in my understanding

Long, but enjoyable story.

Revisado: 12-07-16

I loved listening to this story while on jogs or commuting in my car. i liked how the story came from many perspectives. The narrator spoke too slow for my taste so I listened at 1.6X speed. looking forward to listening to the sequel now.

Better than the movie Platoon. Semper Fi!

Revisado: 03-22-16

This was one of the best narrated books I have listened to. The narrator was able to give life to each character and make the story so real. I felt I was in the bush with these Marines. I found myself laughing and cussing characters as they dealt with circumstances that seemed to get worse and worse. Be warned it's a story about grunts so the language is PG13 and some racial tensions that are prominent. The story was well written, but not sure if I would have lived the story like I did without the great narration. Just buy this, you won't regret it.

Virtual mentor for all Men

Revisado: 02-13-16

Loved this book, Dungy is a great guy who shares many of his thoughts on how to become a real man. If more men approached manhood like this our children would have greater potential to become better adults resulting in a better healthier society. I walk a way a better person, better husband, better father, and better mentor at my work.
