If you ignore Wheatley's predictable rants about socialism yada yada, this is not a bad tale. But the narrator's dreadful habit of droppin' the "g"s from every freakin' gerund he encounters becomes intolerable very quickly. Extremely annoyin'!

Master of the Senate, told with an abundance of rich detail that could only have come from Caro’s peerless research, is both a galvanizing portrait of the man himself—the titan of Capital Hill, volcanic, mesmerizing—and a definitive and revelatory study of the workings and personal and legislative power.

WONDERFUL BOOK - BADLY PRESENTED BY AUDIBLE
Reviewed: 08-03-16
Would you consider the audio edition of Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson, Volume 3 to be better than the print version?
Not better, but it adds a certain dimension to hear it as well as being able to read it.
What did you like best about this story?
It isn't a story. It's a beautifully written biography.
Have you listened to any of Grover Gardner’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I don't know. He does a very good job on this series.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
How the most powerful man in the world was brought down by his own failings.
Any additional comments?
It's bad enough that Audible charges you three times for one book. But even worse, it's impossible to tell from the tiny icons, which are all identical, which volume and which part show up on your mobile. Couldn't Audible at least have made the three volumes different colors, and put a big number on the front to tell us what part of what volume we were looking at?
