...there are long segments with an awful feedback sound in the background. I’m not sure if it’s the narrator’s nasal cavity or if someone is cleaning a window with windex next to the microphone, or someone adjusting a chair, or vigorously rubbing the microphone but it’s just terrible. It faded in and out and really disrupts the flow of the book. It should be re-recorded.

As for the book itself, when not being interrupted with ambient piggy sounds, it resonates with truth and strikes a deep cord within. I learned a lot and was able to incorporate teachings within a day. Very powerful. 5 star book, 1 star recording.

I loved the Dodgers growing up but knew about dykstra and liked him. I remember his car wash too. Heard the interview on Howard then bought the book next day. Even my wife loved the interview and is not into sports. The book leaves a lot to the imagination. I really enjoyed the parts about coming up as a young baseball player and his stories as a pro but then it tailed off. I wanted to hear more about what he did that was illegal and why he went to prison but it really dances around the topic even though a lot of time is spent on it. There's a lot of "moreovers" and "in addition" transitions all over the place like the editor was just trying to make sense out of a free flowing blob of material (dykstra said he wrote it). I love nails and think he's an interesting guy but this book didn't nail it for me. Sorry bro.

However the authors premise doesn't support his conclusion. If the facts presented are true, then there will never be a 2 state solution. Don't get me wrong, It's a great idea, but the PLO doesn't even want the Palestinian "refugees" as its citizens in an independent state. That should tell you everything you need to know about having a "partner for peace".

... But both are great! My wife and I really enjoyed the show and the books make it more engaging for us. The reader is excellent too.
