Story4.5 out of 5 stars 29
While most people were preparing for the adventure of adult life, Chad E. Foster was watching the world he grew up with fade to black. But that didn’t stop him from becoming the first blind person to graduate from the Harvard Business School leadership program and climbing the corporate ladder as a successful finance/sales executive. With determination, ambition, and drive, Chad created what Oracle said would be impossible. He gave millions of people the ability to earn a living by becoming the first to create customer relationship software for the visually impaired.

Story4 out of 5 stars 1,091
For the first time in 65 years, a modern, easy to understand, truly complete and uncensored edition of Mein Kampf has been released which reveals more than any past translation. This is also the first translation available in an English language audio format. Older translations altered passages, omitted passages, mistranslated Hitler's words, and made some parts more sensational while concealing the true meaning in other parts of the book.

- Mein Kampf: The Ford Translation
- By: Adolf Hitler, Michael Ford - translator
- Narrated by: James Smith
A must read for any WW II historian
Reviewed: 03-18-19
This book provides context on the underpinnings of Hitlers actions which led up to the start of WWII. It provides amazing context and a look into why Hitler felt the reunification and dominance of Germany was his final goal. This translation also provides explanations on various historical events referenced throughout.
This is an integral part of understanding the Third Reich and its functions, but also serves as a reminder to remember the countless lives that were lost during combat as well as those that fell victim to the the Holocaust

Very disappointing
Reviewed: 11-30-18
After hearing so much about this story the book was very disappointing. Writing seemed disjointed and a bit self-serving. Subject matter was interesting but writing seemed forced and disjointed. Would not recommend.

One of Kings Best
Reviewed: 08-17-18
Fantastic set of classic short stories. An excellent array of talented readers as well. Classic King
Only small downside is the sometimes overbearing/poor sound effects and music that are sometimes thrown in strange places.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,432
By day he made thousands of dollars a minute. By night he spent it as fast as he could. From the binge that sank a 170-foot motor yacht and ran up a $700,000 hotel tab, to the wife and kids waiting at home and the fast-talking, hard-partying young stockbrokers who called him king, here, in Jordan Belfort's own words, is the story of the ill-fated genius they called the Wolf of Wall Street.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 70,437
This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.
