Enjoyable

The only problem I had is that it ended. I think that these are stories of the way Americans effected the culture of this country told in a way I could get into the story.

One of my favorite listens...EVER.

What did you love best about Dreamers and Deceivers?

Such a great mix of history and drama. Really enjoyed each story and learned something I didn't know in each chapter. The chapter about Desi and Lucy had me all chocked up!

Any additional comments?

I like this compilation because it makes it easy to listen to and come back to. I like my share of 30 hour novels but every once in a while it's nice to have something to break it up.

History read without the emphasis on memorizing.

little snippets of history not found in text books with emphasis on seeing how our Democracy has operated in the past.

Yet another amazing book of lost history by Beck.

Even if you're not a Beck fan, but love history you will love this book. Actually even if you haven't liked reading about historical events in the past, this book might just change that. I have read Beck's previous book on historical massacres lost to the history books and fell in love with history told in this format . I am a college graduate, but have always been bored by history; that is until now. Here history is told in a novel form, or like reading through a well written biography.

Beck keeps his opinion on politics and social issues out of the historical accounts and let's them speak for themselves.

I loved it. It is a book for the family library of every American that values our freedom and has hope for our future as a strong nation. I hope that we see many more books from Beck in this style. I feel his books written in this form could possibly be one of his greatest legacies for future generations.

A treasure trove of great details.

What made the experience of listening to Dreamers and Deceivers the most enjoyable?

We enjoyed learning the details of things we have wondered about over the years. We grew up with Lucy and Desi it was very interesting to learn all those wonderful things they did.

Who was your favorite character and why?

We didn't have a real favorite.

Great American stories

This book had a lot of factual evidence to show people in America's history that were considered heroes and also vice versa for people who were considered deceivers. it'
put light on to a lot of stories that I have heard in the past but now I think differently of the person

The way history should be taught.

For a generation that has largely forgotten the value of history, this book is perfect. The humanity of life events and the all to often erroneous spin placed on them by the actors, commentators and bystanders leads to dehumanization for simplicity. History is a story and it cannot be understood without humanity. Well done.
