On a summer night in 2009, three lives intersected in one American neighborhood. Two people newly in love - Teresa Butz and Jennifer Hopper, who spent many years trying to find themselves and who eventually found each other - and a young man on a dangerous psychological descent: Isaiah Kalebu, age 23, the son of a distant, authoritarian father and a mother with a family history of mental illness. All three paths forever altered by a violent crime, all three stories a wake-up call to the system that failed to see the signs.

A must read
Revisado: 08-02-16
This is one of the very few books I consider a "must read".
Fantastic author and amazing narrator.
Such a complex subject, so incredibly well presented.

In The Dorito Effect, Mark Schatzker shows us how our approach to the nation's number-one public health crisis has gotten it wrong. The epidemics of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes are not tied to the overabundance of fat or carbs. Instead we have been led astray by the growing divide between flavor - the tastes we crave - and the underlying nutrition.

worth the listen
Revisado: 01-03-16
This book presents you with a new take on food & why we eat. Very interesting. It will shape how you think about - and choose - your food.
Also not unrealistic (like some "better alternative world" books), and I really appreciated that.
Sometimes a bit long-winded, but it's a book, not an article - and this makes it a perfect candidate for an audio book.
Triggers interesting discussions with friends.
Sometimes the narrator drops his volume too much, when he wants to put emphasis on a statement. I had to go back in narration a couple of times - "What did he just say?"
I will recommend this book to my friends.

The time is 1933, the place, Berlin, when William E. Dodd becomes America’s first ambassador to Hitler’s Germany in a year that proved to be a turning point in history. A mild-mannered professor from Chicago, Dodd brings along his wife, son, and flamboyant daughter, Martha. At first Martha is entranced by the parties and pomp, and the handsome young men of the Third Reich with their infectious enthusiasm for restoring Germany to a position of world prominence. Enamored of the “New Germany,” she has one affair after another....

As usual, Larson delivers great aspect to history
Revisado: 01-03-14
Detailed view into a riveting time in history. Larson always delivers.
Narrator: although I am always very impressed with the feat of narrating an audio book, this narration let me down a bit when the German words were not pronounced correctly. I am German, but am not looking for accent-free pronunciation. But the stress and rhythm of the word should be reproduced, so the word is recognizable. I wish the producers would have put more emphasis on coaching these words.
Otherwise a wonderful book - I highly recommend it!

This New York Times best-seller is the astonishing life story of award-winning humanitarian Ayaan Hirsi Ali. A deeply respected advocate for free speech and women's rights, Hirsi Ali also lives under armed protection because of her outspoken criticism of the Islamic faith in which she was raised.

Gripping
Revisado: 09-10-13
Would you consider the audio edition of Infidel to be better than the print version?
Yes, because Ayaan reads her story herself. It adds another dimension, and I am glad to have chosen this edition. Thank you, Ayaan, for reading!
What did you like best about this story?
The honesty.
Any additional comments?
A "must listen" in my opinion.
