Learn via Reading While Listening

Interesting stories and well read by native speakers. By repeating the material twice, the second with translation, you can be challenged as much as you want. This is a great resource for upper beginner and even intermediate learners.

What a hoot!

I wanted to laugh and cry at the ups and downs of his life and find a veteran to thank and support. Lots of ministories throughout the book and great awareness of the hero’s of our nation. Thanks for writing the book. His narration is terrific with some great timing and wit thrown in. Highly recommended.

Terrific narration of a Powerful story

Revisado: 09-26-20

The ending is kind of melancholy but that is understandable. What a compelling story embodied in a dynamic narration. I enjoyed it very much!

Watch out for foul language

Revisado: 02-26-20

A well-crafted work of embellished history worthy of knowing until 3/4 of the way through the dialogue deteriorates into a foul mouthed barrage whose severity is not required to demonstrate the intensity of feeling. The transition was shocking. Glad my family was not listening!

Stepped on my toes!

If you could sum up Leaders Eat Last in three words, what would they be?

Question your assumptions

What other book might you compare Leaders Eat Last to and why?

Not sure as I have never been so conflicted on a book before. He successfully challenges, but also trivializes the complex environment of leadership. Perhaps it is not his intent to be balanced...

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

I saw him on Leadercast where he touched on some of this material. However, the book goes in to much greater depth along with penetrating examples.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. Take it in small doses, but listen to it all.

Any additional comments?

As a result I do not agree with all of his opinions, but leadership is about feedback. I welcomed the challenge of this book.

Inspiring Leadership and Technical Problem Solving

Revisado: 12-23-13

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

For any scientist or engineer, this book takes you to the front lines of test pilots and the inherent danger s of spaceflight...from the view of the brainiacs in mission control who are the necessary and incredibly important partners of the astronauts in those tiny capsules.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Of course, Gene Kranz -- demonstrating authentic leadership in the midst of adversity.

What does Danny Campbell bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I've read the book. The reading is exceptionally well done and I can put Kranz's face on the voice of the narrator.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It makes me wish we were still pushing for human space flight.

Any additional comments?

This is a great book for aficionados of engineering, science, operations, spaceflight, and pushing technology. But, it is best a book of leadership and companionship required to push the boundaries of human endeavor.

Engaging, sad, compelling story

If you could sum up A Tale of Two Cities in three words, what would they be?

Resurrection, Beauty, and Vengeance

Which character – as performed by Simon Vance – was your favorite?

Mr. Lorry, the impeccable businessman, and steady companion through it all

Any additional comments?

I had never read the book before, so the audiobook took me on a wonderful journey. The language is highly descriptive yet lyrical leaving me sometimes in a daze while other times with my heart in earnest. I've always known the French Revolution was a momentary departure from reality by a strong people, but this book puts both the aristocratic arrogance and the unrestrained vengeance of the populace in perspective.

Long, but quite a fun listen

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Three Musketeers?

Often the banter between the companions had me laughing out loud...even while exercising. That is fun!

He captures multiple voices for all the main characters consistently through the story.
