I’ve loved Patrick Stewart since I saw him on Star Trek the Next Generation. This book offered a great insight into his personal challenges, relationships, and motivations…

Story
Salmon P. Chase is best remembered as a rival of Lincoln’s for the Republican nomination in 1860—but there would not have been a national Republican Party, and Lincoln could not have won the presidency, were it not for the groundwork Chase laid over the previous two decades. Starting in the early 1840s, long before Lincoln was speaking out against slavery, Chase was forming and leading antislavery parties. He represented fugitive slaves so often in his law practice that he was known as the attorney general for runaway negroes.

Great biography of Salmon P. Chase. Governor of Ohio, Senator, Treasury Secretary, and Supreme Court Justice. A man ahead of his time on slavery and women’s rights.
Great narration by Timothy Andres Pabon.

Story
When North Korean forces invaded South Korea on June 25, 1950, Otto Apel was a surgical resident living in Cleveland, Ohio, with his wife and three young children. A year later he was chief surgeon of the 8076th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, constantly near the front lines in Korea. Immediately upon arriving in camp, Apel performed 80 hours of surgery. His feet swelled so badly, he had to cut his boots off, and he saw more surgical cases in those three and a half days than he would have in a year back in Cleveland.

Some of the stories about pioneering vascular surgery were very inspiring. I loved the story of “the young men from Ohio” that two of the surgeons worked on for hours who made it home with all four of his limbs due to the new surgical techniques that they were trying out.

Story
This is Reaper speaking. So begins an anonymous letter published in a Utah newspaper after a young couple is viciously murdered. Tooele County sheriff Elizabeth Gray leads the investigation into the double homicide, which is eerily reminiscent of a string of brutal killings years ago. When the letter leads detectives to yet another body, Gray calls on an old friend for help.

My first experience listening to a Victor Methos book. Excellent story and narration. The narrator Timothy Andres Pabon really inhabits the soul of each character.

I love the movie. This awesome “sequel” is too expansive to fit into a 2 hour movie. It reads to me like 3 seasons of a Netflix or Amazon series. I hope that’s what Michael Mann has in mind for this because it’s a great story! The narrator was great and really had Pacino’s voice down perfect!

Story
The Grateful Dead rose to greatness under the inspired leadership of guitarist Jerry Garcia, but the band very nearly died along with him. When Garcia passed away suddenly in 1995, the remaining band members experienced full crises of confidence and identity. So long defined by Garcia's vision for the group, the surviving "Core Four", as they came to be called, were reduced to strained relationships, and catastrophic business decisions. It would take 20 years before relationships were mended enough for the Grateful Dead as fans remembered them to once again take the stage.

Heck yeah! Fare thee well. So much pain and strife in the years following Jerry’s life. But those 4 guys overcame everything for 3 awesome nights at soldier field. What they lost they shall regain! My friend and I will see Dead and Company this summer. The story of the Dead is not over!!!

A balanced and thorough account of Altamont
Reviewed: 02-19-20
Wow! This book really puts you there in the middle. Selvin places the “responsibility, if not the blame” on the Stones for the fiasco. He doesn’t exonerate the Hells Angels for their violence as much as he sees them as archetypes playing out their roles in an impossible situation (sorry but I still think they were thugs). The concert was hastily planned with literally no one in charge. I listened to the entire book twice just to make sure I could keep all of the people straight. I hope this becomes a TV miniseries. Not kidding.
