Story5 out of 5 stars 49
A gloriously funny, nostalgic memoir of a popular ESPN reporter who, in the summer of 1994, was a fresh-out-of-college intern for a minor league baseball team. Madness and charm ensue as Ryan McGee spends the season steeped in sweat, fertilizer, nacho cheese sauce, and pure, unadulterated joy in North Carolina with the Asheville Tourists.

In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,890
For those who could read between the lines, the censored news out of China was terrifying. But the president insisted there was nothing to worry about. Fortunately, we are still a nation of skeptics. Fortunately, there are those among us who study pandemics and are willing to look unflinchingly at worst-case scenarios. Michael Lewis’ taut and brilliant nonfiction thriller pits a band of medical visionaries against the wall of ignorance that was the official response of the Trump administration to the outbreak of COVID-19.

Stopped listening, obviously rushed production

Wish I’d read the reviews first. Like other reviewers, I listened to podcast reading of first chapter, and assumed, like his previous books, Mr Lewis had done the narration himself. Unfortunately that isn’t the case. No offense to Ms Ojo, but her narration is vastly different than Mr. Lewis’, when it’s the latter you’re expecting. I stopped listening. I may buy the actual book at some point, but doubtful.
I hope audible can resolve this and refund or replace credits for an obvious majority of the customers who reviewed this book and were disappointed
