Great stories, a little disjointed

The section on the Salem Witch Trials was brutally shocking: the inhumanity, treachery and most vial of human traits… Then the book takes different story lines that span centuries and come back together in a less than satisfying manner. Really three books, thinly related to one another.

John Grisham continues his string of some of the best legal stories ever told. He blends southern culture, myths, the law and court room drama. Wildly entertaining.

Fun and an education on some of the building blocks of what we now call the NBA!

What a roller coaster ride this book is. Up, down and around. Surprises around every turn. Too bad that so little is preserved for the annals of history. However, this book allows for the stories to live on through its pages. The narration is mostly done by the actual characters recalling the stories they lived through in their own words.

We’ll researched and referenced. It’s going to have bumps along the way, but we are in an enviable position.

Scary as hell if only 10% is true. Fauci maybe the modern day Dr. Mengele and this is no exaggeration.

Wow, John D was a fascinating, amazing, complex and flawed man. He created an extraordinary industry that became the backbone of the world economy for more than a century. He developed controversial business methods that though anti-competitive, grew an empire out of a little used commodity. His unwillingness to cede his monopolistic drive to crush his “enemies” led to his perceived downfall.

He was a dichotomy of both charitable giving and ruthless tactics. His greatest impact should be remembered for bringing medicine into the 20th Century from the Dark Ages of Quackery. His generosity to higher education and Historical Black Colleges and Universities will endure forever.
