Story
Mike Rinder’s parents began taking him to their local Scientology center when he was five years old. After high school, he signed a billion-year contract and was admitted into Scientology’s elite inner circle, the Sea Organization. Brought to founder L. Ron Hubbard’s yacht and promised training in Hubbard’s most advanced techniques, Rinder was instead put to work swabbing the decks. Still, Rinder bought into the doctrine that his personal comfort was secondary to the higher purpose of Hubbard’s world-saving mission.

Unfortunately a boring story.

unfortunately because it is super important. it provides me with a deeper understanding of what ST really is. but the story until the final breakout is very long.

Story
Hun blev døbt Anna Marie Christensen. I sit videre livsforløb benyttede hun mere end ti forskellige navne, de fleste dæknavne for hendes rolle som stikker for Gestapo. Det kendteste var `Jenny Holm´. Kamæleonen er hele historien om Jenny Holm (1916-1999), kvinden, der mod krigens slutning skiftede side. Det er historien om hendes talrige ofre og elskere, om den sexfikserede retspsykiater, hun betroede sig til, den inhabile dommer, der dømte hende, og om ægtemanden, der i 50 år var uvidende om hendes fortid.

En udmærket historie. Men den tilføjer kun få yderligere detaljer, hvis man har læst Ib Birkedal.
Til gengæld er den fuldkommen ødelagt af oplæseren. Jeg tror faktisk aldrig jeg har oplevet noget lignende.
gennem hele bogen udtaler han adskillige navne forskelligt hver gang. Han er ukoncentreret og deler sætningerne forkerte steder. Og ikke nok med dét, så bliver han pludselig hæs i anden halvdel af bogen. Vor herre bevares.

A novel of high adventure, great storytelling and moral purpose, based on an extraordinary true story of eight years in the Bombay underworld. In the early 80s, Gregory David Roberts, an armed robber and heroin addict, escaped from an Australian prison to India, where he lived in a Bombay slum. There, he established a free health clinic and also joined the mafia, working as a money launderer, forger and street soldier. He found time to learn Hindi and Marathi, fall in love, and spend time being worked over in an Indian jail.

I loved everything about this story. but the most amazing about this story, is the narrator. he makes the story so much alive, hvis a lot of characters with each a different dialect. that is just amazing.

Story
Mickey Cohen, who died in 1976, was a colorful, feared West Coast gangster-gambler who knew the biggest names in Hollywood including the Rat Pack, was a confidant of Bugsy Siegel, a friend of Las Vegas' late Liz Renay and on first names with the biggest guys in the Mafia, plus Frank Sinatra, Richard Nixon and Billy Graham. Brad Lewis' book about Cohen draws from thousands of resources - a virtual treasure trove of Mafia-related books, articles and interviews.
