Balance

Revisado: 05-04-25

According to this author, Paul is a workaholic, and driven taskmaster and John is a dependent, mentally ill wreck — or nearly so. Fans of Paul should love this. Fans of John might feel that their hero is being attacked.

I’ll have to read some other points of view to confirm or deny the information contained in this book.

Lots of interesting details about the group…Ringo and George are also included in the analysis.

The reader has — at least in my opinion — a harsh voice, but makes few mistakes and does a good job.

A professional reader would have been better. Monotone was deadening to the important information in this book.

Authors are not always the best readers for their work. Sometimes they need to let go of their egos and let professionals take over.

WTF?!

Revisado: 11-24-23

Get this if you want to throw away $1. This is impossible to listen to. Bad editing, bad recording, and music playing during the ENTIRE recording. I’m appalled that Audible has included this in its catalog. Zero stars.

Buck O’Neil deserves 5 stars

Revisado: 06-15-23

Maybe it’s because I’m old. Or maybe it’s because I’m a lifelong baseball fan. I loved this book. Thanks Joe Posnanski.

Mispronounces words

Revisado: 09-28-22

The book itself was good with lots of information, some of it new. The reader, however, mispronounced some proper nouns, most notably, Bahrain, pronouncing it, Bay-ron'...over and over again. Editors should have caught that.

Other than that it was a very good read.

Get the print edition.

Stop hiring authors to read their own books. Dan Pfeiffer is not good at it.

Pronunciation

Revisado: 03-12-22

Reader does a good job except for some obvious mispronunciations: Roth Hashanah, pogrom, pesach, etc. There should have been some language education as well as proof-listening.

Disappointed

Revisado: 12-20-21

Equates anti-Zionism with anti-semitism. Ignoring the fact that Israeli government politics and behavior are not always perfect and there are legitimate reasons to be "against" Israeli policies sometimes.

OTOH, lots of good information, insight, history, and understanding of anti-semitism and Jewish life.

Worth reading with caveats.

Poorly edited and read.

Revisado: 12-13-21

Interesting book, but poorly read by author. Sorry that Audible hasn't learned yet that authors are not necessarily the best people to read their own books. Poorly edited with jumps and skips.

Terrible, terrible reader

Revisado: 10-04-21

This author should not have read her own book. She’s terrible. Zero stars for the reading.

The book itself is excellent and when I switched to the text version after about 1/10th of the book I enjoyed it much more.

The author as a reader is overly and childishly dramatic. She infuses feelings in quotes that are sometimes inappropriate. Her attempt to use her voice to express meaning fails. Her inability to correctly use dynamics is most disrupting. Quotes and some phrases are nearly yelled at the listener. Other phrases are whispered. In order to hear the latter, you take the chance of damaging your hearing on the former. She also tries and fails to change her voice for different people. It's a pathetic attempt at reading.

This is not worthy of the content of the book...or Audible. Read the book. I returned the audiobook.
