The Farewell Address is perhaps the most important document in American history, providing a vision for the future of America and her leaders. The background and history of it are as important as listening to the complete address itself.

I'm not sure how they selected the narrator - but they clearly chose the wrong person. Ruined an excellent piece of work.

Sorry, this one is a tough "read"
Reviewed: 02-16-17
I thought the first in the series was an interesting story, but I feel the author had one of the characters tale on a quasi-super hero level status that wasn't believable and I found myself literally rolling my eyes at the author's use of the main character. The writing seemed to get lazy in this second set of volumes. Disappointing.

Prepping can be a challenge for new preppers as well as old pros. New preppers can be overwhelmed by the number of tasks that need to be accomplished. This book provides a blueprint that prioritizes the different aspects of preparedness and breaks them down into achievable goals. Seasoned preppers often get overweight in one particular area of preparedness.

Good level headed intro to preparedness

- By: David Kobler, Mark Goodwin

Good, basic beginning prepping book - terrible recording
Reviewed: 02-16-17
The suggestions and advice are solid and mainstream prepping designed to introduce the reader to the concepts and pointing out that doing something is better than nothing. Excellent recommendations without being "over the top".
The narrator was fine, but the recording quality was so tremendously poor that it cannot be overlooked. I deleted the download and downloaded on the highest setting, which improved the sound, but I still received a ton of popping sound and first words spoken by the narrator after pauses were garbled.

Poor production
Reviewed: 09-04-15
Not sure if it is the narrator or was just poor recording, but it sounded poor compared to other Audible productions.
Story was decent, but the dialog between characters was very poor at times. Author needs to understand what 4 year olds are capable of saying. Same with 12 year olds. The dialog with the kids was terrible overall. Dialog among the adults wasn't much better. BUT the story was interesting and when there was just straight narration - it was well written and descriptive.
As for the narrator himself? He has no business attempting to alter his voice for women and children characters. It was awful. Awful.
Poor choice of narrator.
Sorry to be negative, but these issues REALLY distracted from what was otherwise an interesting story line.

Not sure some of the content was necessary. A bit darker than I thought was necessary, but an interesting read otherwise. Gave it four stars because it was different and well written. Again, the assassination attempt was a bit over the top and sort of distracted from the story.

Dana does an excellent job framing the anti-2A fight in the right context. My only critique would be that some of the material is repeated, but it is done for emphasis I'm sure. Good read and excellent performance. Her impersonation of that doofus British guy (P. Morgan) - was spot on. Jolly good! ;)

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plainold "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

Story4 out of 5 stars 4,360
From his perspective in Renaissance Italy, Machiavelli's aim in this classic work was to resolve conflict with the ruling prince, Lorenzo de Medici. Machiavelli based his insights on the way people really are rather than an ideal of how they should be. This is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince, a king, or a president.

Read this in school years ago...but it was enjoyable to read again when it wasn't "assigned".
Great read - the production was not so great - the reader has a very nasal voice.

How did Davy Crockett save President Jackson's life only to end up dying at the Alamo? Was the Lone Ranger based on a real lawman-and was he an African American? What amazing detective work led to the capture of Black Bart, the "gentleman bandit" and one of the west's most famous stagecoach robbers? Did Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid really die in a hail of bullets in South America? Generations of Americans have grown up on TV shows, movies and books about these western icons. But what really happened in the Wild West? All the stories you think you know, and others that will astonish you, are here--some heroic, some brutal and bloody, all riveting. Included are the ten legends featured in Bill O'Reilly's Legends and Lies docuseries -from Kit Carson to Jesse James, Wild Bill Hickok to Doc Holliday-- accompanied by two bonus chapters on Daniel Boone and Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley.
