    In his number-one New York Times best seller Crimes against Liberty, David Limbaugh penned a damning indictment of President Barack Obama’s misrule during his first two years in office. In this blockbuster book, Limbaugh sets his sights on the remainder of Obama’s presidency, revealing the president’s latest crimes against liberty. Controversial, compelling, and original, The Great Destroyer picks up where Crimes against Liberty left off. It is Limbaugh’s most powerful book yet.

    I've heard much of what is written but not in such a condensed manner. An onslaught of 'need to know' material. Next listen I will keep pen and pad within reach. Recommend.

    How much better would your life be if you had an army of Nobel Laureates, MacArthur ‘geniuses’ and National Medal of Science winners whispering tips in your ear about your body language, or how to resist that impulse purchase you’ll regret tomorrow, or when to sell your car - or even helping you trick your spouse into doing the dishes?

    Story

    Presumtuous and fluffy. This did not impact me as scientific as much as it seemed to be the author's perspectives. Not impressed... did not finish the free chapter...

  • Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America

    The demon is a mob, and the mob is demonic. The Democratic Party activates mobs, depends on mobs, coddles mobs, publicizes and celebrate mobs - it is the mob. Sweeping in its scope and relentless in its argument, Demonic explains the peculiarities of liberals as standard groupthink behavior. To understand mobs is to understand liberals.

    Well researched and delivered. Details matter in such weighty issues as freedom, liberty, and honesty. Clever and witty as well.

    When world-class biblical scholar Bart Ehrman first began to study the texts of the Bible in their original languages he was startled to discover the multitude of mistakes and intentional alterations that had been made by earlier translators. In Misquoting Jesus, Ehrman tells the story behind the mistakes and changes that ancient scribes made to the New Testament and shows the great impact they had upon the Bible we use today.

    Story

    After lending his scholastic credentials I found the course of discussion to degrade rapidly into supposition while chasing 'details' in repetitive banter. I stopped listening soon in to the second part. I should have bought a baseball book.

  • Reagan: The Hollywood Years

    Story

    Covering more than 30 years of Reagan's film and television work, Marc Eliot sheds new light on Reagan's bachelor life, his two marriages, and his two runs as the president of SAG. It also examines his personal relationship with superagent Lew Wasserman, the crucial player who helped develop Reagan's movie-star persona, which would prove essential to his eventually becoming President of the United States.

    Chris says: "Very good, but more politics than movies"
    "50/50"
    Overall

    I stopped reading the Cary Grant book when it was released... tantamount to walking out of a film in progress. Did not care for this author's writing style. Laborious descriptions and excessive sentence grafting... Overall frustration as my intent was (and is) to learn more about Grant and those days in the industry.

    Have a similar reaction to the Reagan book - even in audio. Wanting to know more about the life and times yet there is again a distraction from the author's writing style... along with more opinions and unreferenced assertions than desired.

    Eliot has obviously researched the material and many parts of the book are useful in the learning sense, but the composition of words to often interrupts my concentration.

    Most likely won't be reading from this author again.

    Acclaimed author Andrei Cherny tells the gripping saga of a rag-tag band of Americans - with limited resources and little hope for success - keeping West Berliners alive in the face of Soviet tyranny, winning the hearts and minds of former enemies, and giving the world a shining example of fundamental goodness.

    Highly recommend this work... dynamic characters, well documented writing, amazing results.
