Story
"The tragedies keep coming. As we reel from the latest horror..." So begins a new epilogue, illustrating how Columbine became the template for nearly two decades of "spectacle murders". It is a false script, seized upon by a generation of new killers. In the wake of Newtown, Aurora, and Virginia Tech, the imperative to understand the crime that sparked this plague grows more urgent every year. What really happened April 20, 1999? The horror left an indelible stamp on the American psyche, but most of what we "know" is wrong.

Started too slow then ended too fast. If you think you know everything about Will Smith just wait until you read this book. I thought I knew the Fresh Prince I didn’t know Will Smith though.

Story
Amazon.com started off delivering books through the mail. But its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, wasn't content with being a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become the everything store, offering limitless selection and seductive convenience at disruptively low prices. To do so, he developed a corporate culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until now.

Seeing as how Jeff might be the ruler of the universe one day, I’m going to say this was the greatest book I’ve ever read, it was too critical of Our Lord, I mean Jeff Bezos and any perceived faults in his companies philosophy are dubious. Amen

I loved the quotes that David Goggins used and how Jesse put them at the beginning of chapters. Very well put together, educational and entertaining. “I don’t stop when I’m tired I stop when I’m done.” - David Goggins

The narration made several erroneous quotations, as well as inaccurate vocal inflections of Richard's material. The narrators inability to capture the vibrance of Richard's performance is quite excusable however.
