We want more
Reviewed: 03-28-25
We need 101-200 animals. Maybe a book about ways we can do better for wildlife. Or extinct animals, Dinosaurs 🦕, and so on.
I love your story telling and that you aren't afraid to admit when you got it wrong. which isn't often.
I'll keep watching on YouTube.

Reviewed: 06-16-24
it will always be hard to tell where to draw the line of reality and conspiracy within the deepest regions of our darker 3-letter agencies. I'm sure there are plenty of dark truth's that will never be told to the public.
We need to listen to each other and start believing that people in America need mental health care to be a much higher level than it is. Whether it's veterans, like myself or anyone else. We can do better to care for each other. Before a crisis erupts.

In my book, you will meet a little girl named Viola who ran from her past until she made a life-changing decision to stop running forever. This is my story, from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island, to the stage in New York City, and beyond. This is the path I took to finding my purpose but also my voice in a world that didn’t always see me.

I got a truly eye opening about who Viola is and how so many people are treated like her.
Viola is a woman who has struggled with the demons of her past. Her ability to see herself as worthy of praise. From early childhood, poverty, food insecurity, physical/verbal/sexual abuse.
To her hard work to gain work and education in acting. I am in awe of Viola and hope I can do my best to help others to achieve their goals in life.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

It wasn't just about what made him into a comic and a host. He showed what it was to be brought up with love and respect of a mother who drove his inner self.
Struggles that shaped how he interacted and perceived the world close to him and a broader sense.
Often self educated, street wise, naive with sudden awakenings to reality.
I have even more respect for him than before.

Story
Heather McGhee’s specialty is the American economy—and the mystery of why it so often fails the American public. From the financial crisis of 2008 to rising student debt to collapsing public infrastructure, she found a root problem: racism in our politics and policymaking. But not just in the most obvious indignities for people of color. Racism has costs for white people, too. It is the common denominator of our most vexing public problems, the core dysfunction of our democracy and constitutive of the spiritual and moral crises that grip us all.

Heather's research, analysis and presentation of the facts of history and our present state of the world is a light shined on what we must realize. We must learn to be the better.
Learning about each individual and their culture. Giving the best we can and recognizing our faults.
I'll recommend this book to everyone, those open and closed minded.
it's great hearing Heather's voice, it gave the intent and gravity the volume needed.

Eugene Bullard lived one of the most fascinating lives of the 20th century. The son of a former slave and an indigenous Creek woman, Bullard fled home at the age of 11 to escape the racial hostility of his Georgia community. When his journey led him to Europe, he garnered worldwide fame as a boxer, and later as the first African-American fighter pilot in history. After the war, Bullard returned to Paris a celebrated hero. But little did he know that the dramatic, globe-spanning arc of his life had just begun.

A hero that needs to be known

Eugene Ballard's life was of one to be lived 100 times over. Adversities never stopped him from being a better man. A father, a Soldier and PILOT, entrepreneur, owner, friend, interpretor, superior athlete, and so much more. Civil Rights being key to it all, asking for respect based on the merits of hus actions and character.
We can all learn be more like him, and countless others who will never have recognition for being a pioneer.

Then Lolly’s mother’s girlfriend brings him a gift that will change everything: two enormous bags filled with Legos.

Amazing insight into someone else's life
Reviewed: 08-12-21
I think of how different and fortunate I am in life, yet wanting to be there to make everyone's lives better as well.
One thing is to listen and learn about other people's stories (fiction included). Lolly struggled with loss, dangerous people, new friends and persevered to become a better person at a young age.
We all can help someone grow, I want all children to know and feel their lives are important. That if we give them the right tools and resources, they to will have a far better chance to live a happy and successful life.
Thank you David Barclay Moore for your writing and input to those open to listening and trying to emphasize with someone like Wallace. I hope that I am going to be giving more to help others beyond the bare minimum expected from society.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book, I have it in print as well. It was great to hear a voice of the young voice actor. I look forward to a movie.

At 24 years of age, U.S. Army Ranger Sean Parnell was named commander of a forty-man elite infantry platoon - a unit that came to be known as the Outlaws - and was tasked with rooting out Pakistan-based insurgents from a mountain valley along Afghanistan's eastern frontier. Parnell and his men assumed they would be facing a ragtag bunch of civilians, but in May 2006 what started out as a routine patrol through the lower mountains of the Hindu Kush became a brutal ambush.

From the ground Regular Unit
Reviewed: 05-17-18
A true story of a conventional unit in Afghanistan that represents the harsh reality of war. Fresh leaders, young troops, well trained enemy, comrades in arms. Life and death intertwined. Anger, laughter, sadness, joy, the emotional range. Special Forces being brought back to reality that regular units are in some of the worst and still taking care of business the best way possible.
I'm honored to listen and know many like these heroes.

Great reading
Reviewed: 07-01-17
I think the monotone of the narrator sets up the dark nature of the story of John Kelly becoming John Clark.
The story is solid and twisting. It brings many outlying stories and characters together by the end. Introduced characters that have been critical to many other books & movies.
