Story
Rich history, important figures, and massive events that rocked the entire continent; each of the 50 states comprising the United States has been the scene of enormous moments in history that are the subject of study all over the world. Knowing such facts and being able to recognize the details of culture, folklore, and sports (among many other pieces of trivia) are gifts that very few have, even those that can boast living in certain states all of their lives.

Captivating book
Reviewed: 10-24-19
Who knew history could be fun? This book introduces the rich history of three powerful American states, and how they progressed to this point. The in-depth research involved in this book is quite evident, especially in the various fun facts about these states. Even those that are natives of these lands would have a thing or two to learn about the great Texas, New York and California. Nicely researched, organized and delivered.
I received a free copy of this book from the author, and I have left this unbiased review in return.

Great collection of stories; excellent narration.

This true crime book is about as good as they get! The author has carefully selected some of the most impacting crime stories (homicides) from the past year, and has mixed it up into something of an art. The narrator also deserves some kudos for a clear and suspenseful narration. A great way to summarize some of the craziness we left behind.
Excellent work.
I got this book for free upon my request from the author. This review is just an expression of my thoughts on the book.

Story
Do you know what the hardest thing for a German learner is? Finding proper reading material that they can handle…which is precisely the reason we’ve written this book! Teachers love giving out tough, expert-level literature to their students, books that present many new problems to the reader and force them to search for words in a dictionary every five minutes - it’s not entertaining, useful or motivating for the student at all, and many soon give up on learning at all!

The stories are helpful!
Reviewed: 05-12-19
Listening to the various stories in this audiobook was fun and it significantly improved my German. Listening to a native speaker narrate the tales makes it more interesting and educative. Now I know the words I've been pronouncing wrong.
The stories are first presented in German, and then in English. This really helps to follow the stories well, and some difficult words/phrases are discussed in the summary.
The most significant trick to maximizing this book is to be honest in the learning process. Listen carefully to the stories, and identify unfamiliar words. When the English translation and the summaries come up, the explanation would be clear and learning would have occurred.
Also, the attached PDf is a useful resource.

Reviewed: 04-08-19
Learning Italian was one of my goals for this year, and for the early part it didn't seem like It was going to happen. I recently got this audio book, and I am confident of achieving this goal now. This book introduces many common words in a typical conversation in Italian, and it has broadened my vocabulary and comfort with using these words in the right context. This is indeed a great way to speed up the learning process.
