Invite Hannibal Lecter into the palace of your mind and be invited into his mind palace in turn. Note the similarities in yours and his, the high vaulted chambers of your dreams, the shadowed halls, the locked storerooms where you dare not go, the scrap of half-forgotten music, the muffled cries from behind a wall. In one of the most eagerly anticipated literary events of the decade, Thomas Harris takes us once again into the mind of a killer, crafting a chilling portrait of insidiously evolving evil - a tour de force of psychological suspense.

Was the narrator high?
Reviewed: 10-05-23
This audiobook is nearly unlistenable. No clue why the narrator chose the voices that he did. Watch the movie instead.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,434
The Nazi regime preached an ideology of physical, mental, and moral purity. But as Norman Ohler reveals in this gripping new history, the Third Reich was saturated with drugs. On the eve of World War II, Germany was a pharmaceutical powerhouse, and companies such as Merck and Bayer cooked up cocaine, opiates, and, most of all, methamphetamines, to be consumed by everyone from factory workers to housewives to millions of German soldiers.

Incredibly unsettling
Reviewed: 09-28-20
I’ve only read one or two other books about Nazi Germany, including “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.” For some reason I found this even more disturbing than that detailed account. As somebody who believes all drugs should be legalized this book has really made me rethink that stance. Widespread hard drug use combined with social mania yields strange and terrifying results.

Story5 out of 5 stars 9,550
Woodward, the number-one international bestselling author of Fear: Trump in the White House, has uncovered the precise moment the president was warned that the Covid-19 epidemic would be the biggest national security threat to his presidency. In dramatic detail, Woodward takes readers into the Oval Office as Trump’s head pops up when he is told in January 2020 that the pandemic could reach the scale of the 1918 Spanish Flu that killed 675,000 Americans.

Beautifully written
Reviewed: 09-24-20
No sensationalism. I began to care less about the depiction of Trump and more about Woodward’s description of everybody else, he refuses to turn them into caricatures. Those brought into the administration/cabinet at the beginning genuinely wanted to do right by the American people. They only tried harder after they realized the kind of president they were dealing with. The harder they tried, the closer they came to being pushed out. There was such a disparity in wisdom between the president’s underlings and the president himself. It’s almost Shakespearean.

Story4 out of 5 stars 106
First published in 1936, Keynes’ ideas had evolved during the difficulties following World War 1 in Europe, and the US crash and the Depression of the 1920s-'30s and the misery of mass unemployment. He deplored the situation where a few individuals or companies stored massive wealth while vast numbers experienced poverty and insecurity (his alarm bells ring today!) and sought to promote initiatives where governments could intervene with social projects to keep money fluctuating.

Masterpiece
Reviewed: 08-14-20
Pros: Excellent narrator. Very informative, especially regarding human behavior in investing. In that sense it’s just as useful today, human behavior remains the same.
Cons: The material is a bit too dense and technical for audiobook format
