Story4 out of 5 stars 9,552
Heralded as an instant classic of fantasy literature, Maguire has written a wonderfully imaginative retelling of The Wizard of Oz told from the Wicked Witch's point of view. More than just a fairy tale for adults, Wicked is a meditation on the nature of good and evil.

Worst story I’ve ever listened to.
Reviewed: 11-05-24
I really wish I’d never started this horrid, long, drawn out , waste of words.
This is the most drawn out, over worded, stream of nothing I’ve ever listened to. Seriously just dribble with no teeth. I feel like someone sponge bathed the brain out of my head. I would not recommend this story to anyone over 20.
That said the reader did a decent job and it was free so I gave the performance a three star.

Having gone through times of intense struggle, pressure, and failure, Adeleke shares his inspiring story of overcoming the odds, even when it didn’t make sense; and ultimately experiencing true personal transformation.

I don’t know who else is reviewing this book, but it is far from 5 stars. The author could barely influence me to finish the book. It felt like a 6 hr lecture from my grandpa.

This is not an introduction into economics it’s a argument for capitalism and critique on socialism. Which is not horribly done, but grossly misrepresented.

Disappointing.
- By Rose Conley on 01-19-20
There are better books.
Reviewed: 05-14-21
I really don’t understand how this book got so many reviews. There are much better books on the subject out there. They could have made this a click bait article for how much actual insight and content they have. And it leaves you feeling like women are just garbage. I wouldn’t recommend this audio book.

Models is the first book ever written on seduction as an emotional process rather than a logical one, a process of connecting with women rather than impressing them. It's the most mature and honest guide on how a man can attract women without faking behavior, without lying and without emulating others. A game-changer.

Hidden somewhere, in nearly every major city in the world, is an underground seduction lair. And in these lairs, men trade the most devastatingly effective techniques ever invented to charm women. This is not fiction. These men really exist. They live together in houses known as Projects. And Neil Strauss, the best-selling author, spent two years living among them, using the pseudonym Style to protect his real-life identity. The result is one of the most explosive and controversial books of the year.

Reviewed: 02-07-21
When I first read this book about 10 years ago it changed my life. I’ve lent it out, recommended it and referenced it more times than even the Bible. I make a point to read it once a year. Great story and great feeling. The audio book is great but do yourself a favor and pick up a paper back too. There’s just way too much they couldn’t put in to the audio so you miss out if you don’t read it too.

We are in a small room with the vampire, face to face, as he speaks--as he pours out the hypnotic, shocking, moving, and erotically charged confessions of his first two hundred years as one of the living dead. . . He speaks quietly, plainly, even gently . . . carrying us back to the night when he departed human existence as heir--young, romantic, cultivated--to a great Louisiana plantation, and was inducted by the radiant and sinister Lestat into the other, the "endless," life....

Loved the movie and so I tried the audio book. I was disappointed at first because the voice actor didn’t have a creole accent. But the more I listened the more I entered the story the less that mattered. I fell in the story and hope you do to!

This is a book that explains all statistical concepts in layman terms. We will discuss concepts like ratio, average, the proportion to very basic concepts like median, mode, and mean. We will then start discussing scatter plot and box plots along with concepts like variance analysis and a chi-square test that are important to understand statistics better. We will also discuss various statistical teaching methods along with a lot of examples and equations.

I’ve listened to this three times and I’m still not getting very much out of it. They cover concepts with such quick and shallow debt it’s hard to feel you really learned anything after listening. My recommendation is to spend some time on YouTube lectures instead, which is where I’m going after finishing this review.

It has been passed down through the ages, highly coveted, hidden, lost, stolen, and bought for vast sums of money. Fragments of this Great Secret have been found in the oral traditions, in literature, in religions and philosophies throughout the centuries. In this audiobook you will discover the Secret, and you will learn how to have, do, or be anything you want.
