Historia
The Lords of Discipline is a novel about coming of age, brotherhood, betrayal, and a man’s forging of his own personal code of honor. Will McLean, a senior on the cadets’ honor court, is an outsider by nature: a basketball star at a school that prizes military prowess above athletics, a military man in training who dares to question the escalating Vietnam war. And yet his greatest struggle will be with the corrupt institution of which he is a part.

The best voice actor, telling a very well written story.
Revisado: 12-24-23
Pat Conroy’s prose and thoughtfully written life of a student in a military college. Is both thought provoking, and memorable.
The voices and acting of the many different people and situations is truly remarkable.

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

Great plot with a twist. The voice acting is great.
Revisado: 11-08-23
This book has a very interesting and creative plot. Having some great paths that lead to some interesting conclusion’s about the characters in this story. However, The author puts in a twist at the end, that make’s the reader and one of the character’s question what it all means. I can’t say much about it, so I don’t spoil the story.
This book was for me a book that was so well written and plot thought out that it was very hard to stop reading it. This was my first book of Colleen Hoover’s , but it certainly won’t be my last.

Historia
Dee Brown's eloquent, meticulously documented account of the systematic destruction of the American Indian during the second half of the 19th century uses council records, autobiographies, and firsthand descriptions. Brown allows great chiefs and warriors of the Dakota, Ute, Sioux, Cheyenne, and other tribes to tell us in their own words of the battles, massacres, and broken treaties that finally left them demoralized and defeated.

Historia
On Winston Churchill’s first day as prime minister, Adolf Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium. Poland and Czechoslovakia had already fallen, and the Dunkirk evacuation was just two weeks away. For the next 12 months, Hitler would wage a relentless bombing campaign, killing 45,000 Britons. It was up to Churchill to hold his country together and persuade President Franklin Roosevelt that Britain was a worthy ally - and willing to fight to the end. In The Splendid and the Vile, Erik Larson shows how Churchill taught the British people "the art of being fearless."

The story of great leadership
Revisado: 05-15-23
A remarkable look into the private living and thoughts of a man leading his country through its most challenging times. Factually based on diaries, achieved documents, written at the time. What could have been just another history book; Is actually a very interesting and entertaining book. The narration by John Lee is great and the perfect one for this work.

Historia
No discussion of great modern authors is complete without mention of Cormac McCarthy, whose rare and blazing talent makes his every work a true literary event. A grand addition to the American literary canon, Suttree introduces readers to Cornelius Suttree, a man who abandons his affluent family to live among a dissolute array of vagabonds along the Tennessee river.

A good story written with poetic prose
Revisado: 04-21-23
McCarthy’s ability to tell a good tale with prose that paint great pictures in the mind of his readers, is stunning. This story about poor men living in Tennessee, with hard times and some good ones too, is made so much better with McCarthy’s writing. I recommend it for readers that enjoy great writing.

Historia
It's a story you think you know: the age-old tale of "star-cross'd lovers"; two families at war; a romance, so pure and absolute, fated for a tragic end. It's a story so thoroughly embedded in our culture, and so frequently retold. Yet, nothing captures the spark, the possibility, and the surprise of Shakespeare's work quite like this....

Love,hate,passion and redemption
Revisado: 03-31-23
An adaptation of the original storyline. The novel is a wonderful fulfillment of the original theme of Love,hate,passion and redemption. Redemption eventually comes in a way to bring a peaceful end to this great tragedy.
The actor, narrator brings an equally great addition to the enjoyment of this novel.

Starting slowly, moving quicker in time.
Revisado: 02-26-23
Like it’s title, the story takes time to develop. As the story gets moving, so does it’s complexity and excitement. There’s complexity building that more fully answers many questions about time travel, that many other books about time travel don’t address.
The many layers of actions, plans and changes through out the story, makes it more interesting and exciting as time moves on to the end of the book.

Historia
It is three in the morning when Bobby Western plunges from the Coast Guard tender into darkness. His dive light illuminates the sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats, hair floating, eyes devoid of speculation. Missing from the site are the pilot’s bag, the plane’s black box, and the tenth passenger. A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit—by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, inventor of the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul.

Obama’s writing is detailed enough with circumstance and his thoughts; giving the ability for the reader get an idea of how it is making the decisions of the president.
His narration is great in the way he’s so able to convey his thoughts and emotions, so clearly and calmly.
