Folie à deux - A delusional belief shared by Two

Revisado: 06-22-18

Mr. Carreyrou delivers a well-organized, chronological, well-researched, and compelling narrative of the problems at Theranos. Carreyrou identifies his sources, where permitted, adding convincing credibility to his account. The company was a lie from the beginning and those at the top knew it as they consistently skirted providing proof of its innovative claims at every turn. This book can be summed up in a French word that Carreyrou introduces his readers: Folie à deux - a delusional belief shared by Two.

All That Glitters Isn't Gold

Revisado: 09-28-17

Fred Berman does an amazing job of narrating the audio version of the book. Noel Monk's account is a comprehensive, believable version of 1978 - 1984. The story is frank and sadly predictable. What's remarkable is the fact that the band was able to produce so well for so long while alcohol, drugs, and egos made unhappiness and discontentment a regular friend. Michael Anthony achieves sainthood in Monk retelling. While, I honestly felt so for Michael, fortunately, his net worth is similar to his bandmates and it doesn't appear that the attempts to reduce his income, beginning in 1984, mattered much. While I love their music, I wouldn't trade places with Monk or anyone in the band.

Reasonable & Logical Alternative View for the Open

Revisado: 09-21-17

Any additional comments?

The author and I share a similar journey due to our similar ages. Back in the 70s, The Late Great Planet Earth along with Jack Van Impe scared the bejebees out of me, as a boy, with their confidently sounding conjecture and speculation. And, I remember the "Countdown" in the 1980s. All I can say is, if you are tired of the incessant, futile, non-sense of persons trying to fit modern headlines into sacred text while ignoring history, context, and the original audience, then you have come to the right place in Brian's "End Times...." The benefit of reading Brian's in-depth discussion on the Preterist view: It is like someone giving you your bible back and allowing you to actually *understand* what Jesus was saying, *who* he was saying it to, and what transpired shortly thereafter. Matthew 24 was Jesus confronting the unbelief head on and with dire warnings of consequential disaster. You'll see Jesus as a politically incorrect Warrior, as well as, The Lamb. Words like "generation," "you", "quickly", "at-hand" will become perfectly clear and lose their nebulous, transcendiary shroud of mystique and confusion. If you are able to put aside any bias and preconceptions of the Last Days, then I think you will find the book thought-provoking and, perhaps, it may even change your mind about some things.

Amazingly Comprehensive & Accurate

The print version is equally valuable as a reference as this book is deep.

Have you listened to any of Heather Auden’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
