Story4.5 out of 5 stars 18
Ayn Rand's famous 1957 classic, Atlas Shrugged, has become more widely read and influential with each passing year, thanks in part to its brilliant dramatization of Rand's Objectivist philosophy and its celebration of self-reliance, integrity, rationality, and productive effort.

One of the Top Ten Books (STORY) ever written!
Reviewed: 09-30-24
Who is John Galt? You have to read the book to find out.
There is nothing I can say that hasn't been said before about this story. Everyone alive should read it - if not to agree with the positions taken - but to see what can happen if Government is allowed to act unimpeded.
Ms. Rand will go down in history (already has) as one of the Great Story Writers of All Time. This novel is one of the reasons why. A must read for many reasons.

The Best Police Procedural of Our Time

Another Hannibal Lecter great story!
Reviewed: 09-30-24
I have read every Thomas Harris book. I have enjoyed them all. I have seen this movie.
Due to the nature of the "Red Dragon Character" the movie had a special appeal and allowed for some special effects that, while well described in the book, were very well shown in the movie.
I would recommend Listeners give the tape a "whirl" but it does get little bit tedious at times. As I look at the previous Reviewers ratings, I concur completely.
I do not want this review to deter anyone from getting the audio - it is just different than the movie.
BTW - I would very much like to be reincarnated as Hannibal in my second life.... Just saying.

In this enticing thriller, Dan Shaw risks the deep waters of wealth, deception, and murder off the Gold Coast to see justice done for a beautiful woman. Dan Shaw has been practicing law only four months and he’s already burned out. Add the fact that he’s just lost his longtime girlfriend and the cops are scouring his dubious past, and it’s no wonder that Shaw decides to set sail for the summer and get away from it all.

I suspect this is the authors first book. I hope he has another gainful way to make a living. So predictable. Very, very lite listening. Not literature. I kept waiting for the story to change from predictable to enjoyable and it never got there.

When Caleb Wardell, the infamous "Chicago Sniper", escapes from death row two weeks before his execution, the FBI calls on the services of Carter Blake, a man with certain specialized talents whose skills lie in finding those who don't want to be found - a man to whom Wardell is no stranger. Along with Elaine Banner, an ambitious special agent juggling life as a single mother with her increasingly high-flying career, Blake must track Wardell down as he cuts a swathe across America, apparently killing at random.

You keep listening hoping or thinking the story will improve. It doesn’t. Mr. Cross, the Author, appears to be nearing retirement and is pumping out predictable dribble. Read some literature. This isn’t that.

A combination of darn good story, funny events, intriguing events all well told. Don’t plan on getting anything done around the house for the duration of the reading as it is impossible to stop listening to. Lots of intrigue, legal maneuvers, funny events. Listen to it!

North Korea has one of the world's largest standing armies, capable of unleashing a massive arsenal of chemical and nuclear weapons. With an unstable government, led by the Kim dynasty under absolute dictator Kim Jong Un, North Korea more closely resembles an organized crime ring than a real nation-state. Millions live on the edge of starvation while Pyongyang's ruthless generals, crooked bureaucrats, and vicious secret police wage a covert war against each other to expand their rival fiefdoms.

Life is too valuable to sit through this predictable story told by many and probably enjoyed by few. Communist dictator doing bad things. Other Communist Leader fights to overtake regime so he can do different bad things. Non Communist Group fights to overtake country in turmoil. Watch a movie in one hour with same story line and go back to enjoying your life.

Waste of your time on earth to listen to
Reviewed: 03-15-22
As a Vietnam Vet and someone who appreciates life, I feel like I just lost some valuable time on earth having listened to this dribble. Real Marines and military Veterans do talk like the characters in this book did. The story was weak, the characters were idiots and I feel somewhat stupid having listened to 93% of the book before realizing I was wasting my life on earth by doing so. I hope you read this before listening to it and sincerely hope you did not have to pay for the book or tape.
