Michael Collins burned his suits and ties in a beautiful bonfire before leaving New York and taking up residence at Hut No. 7 in a run-down Mexican resort. He dropped out, giving up a future of billable hours and big law firm paychecks.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 21
A significant trial looms. The two lawyers and the judge all have major reasons to worry: Jeri Richards, a newbie judge, is presiding over her first trial concerned she is too inexperienced to handle it. Mike Reigert, the plaintiff’s attorney, must try his biggest case because his client refuses the department store’s huge settlement offers - just to make sure that what they did to her won’t ever happen to anyone else.

Story4 out of 5 stars 110
At a 1931 barnstorming exhibition game in Tennessee, a 17-year-old pitcher for the Chattanooga Lookouts struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig back to back. Her name was Jackie Mitchell - "organized baseball's first girl pitcher." In July 1970, a stripper rushed onto the field at Riverfront Stadium to kiss Johnny Bench, temporarily disrupting a game attended by President Nixon and his family. These are just some of the great, quirky, and comic moments in the annals of baseball recorded in The Greatest Baseball Stories Ever Told.

Awful narration. The narrator in the first chapter tried to recreate Who is on First by Abbott and Costello. Absolutely butchered this classic. The second chaper a woman tells hoe she learned to keep score,so boring.I stooped right there. Save your money.

Disturbing Irony
Reviewed: 05-07-19
The author a flaming liberal writes this story about a woman who shoots a man charged with her daughter multination and murder. He compares her justified homicide to the unjust war in Iraq and paints Saddam Hussein who murdered his own people with chemical weapons as an OK guy. No more Methos books for me.

On the surface, the court-appointed case that lands on young Dean Abernathy's desk is a biggie; he is slated to defend a homeless man accused of the felony murder of the popular black New York City Police commissioner during an early-morning mugging attempt. But at second look, the case promises to be a routine conviction. The evidence is overwhelming.

I thought this book was a medical thriller mystery but it was a lesbian love story. Into chapter 10 I still didn't know what the story was about except lesbian sex and lust. A great disappointment is understated.

Now he's famous, he makes his living playing the game he loves, and everything should be perfect. Still Travis can't shake the feeling that he's a fraud, an imposter who doesn't deserve his success - and after a series of disappointments and, to be honest, personal screwups, he might just prove himself right.

Theirs was the most captivating American political partnership since Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger: a bold and untested president and his seasoned, relentless vice president. Confronted by one crisis after another, they struggled to protect the country, remake the world, and define their own relationship along the way. In Days of Fire, Peter Baker chronicles the history of the most consequential presidency in modern times through the prism of its two most compelling characters, capturing the elusive and shifting alliance of George Walker Bush and Richard Bruce Cheney as no historian has done before.

From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyles kills (the previous American record was 109), but it has declined to verify the astonishing total number for this book. Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan ("the devil") and placed a bounty on his head.

Would you listen to American Sniper again? Why?
Chris Kyle was a great American and this book tells the real story of fighting terrorism not the liberal media spin .A great listen all Americans should thank our service men and woman for their service listen to this book and you will. My only criticism is there wasn't an epilogue noting his murder.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Chris Kyle goes without saying
What does John Pruden bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Does a good job lively animation
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
Any additional comments?

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The worst narration I ever listened to.The narrator when using dialogue used an urgent and loud tone no matter what the situation was. It was like telling someone to" CALL 911" loud and urgent, it was so annoying. When the narrator had to portray a woman the voice sounded like a whiny five-year-old.The story about people madden by a virus goes on hour after hour with seemingly no progress in the story. I finally stopped listening halfway through. I would strongly recommend looking for another book other than this one.
Would you ever listen to anything by Bobby Adair again?
Maybe but unlikely.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
As written about so bad could keep listening.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Slow Burn: Box Set 1-3?
About 3 hours of it.
Any additional comments?
Stay away from this book.
