1st book was good and then it went down hill

Revisado: 01-21-25

I liked the first book just fine. it wasn't great but was good. AAn interesting angle on a dystopian book.

The second book was all recycled ideas with no more character development. Way to many clichés and no substance. I finished it but didn't enjoy it.

Third book was like the second but just another turn of the recycled ideas and clichés. I had bought the pack of all 3 books but didn't finish this one. It was just bad.

I wish it were even longer

Revisado: 05-01-19

This book has a lot of great information but presents it in a way that keeps you engaged. The information is sufficiently clear, without being overly forceful in the authors interpretation of the data. The author flies at a appropriate level of detail to keep it informative and interesting, but not belabor any points or get lost in superfluous detail. I really enjoy this type of book and NurtureShock did not disappoint. Some great opportunities to reflect and question my own approach to parenting and life in general.

Just not much there

Revisado: 05-01-19

I tried really hard to get into this book and just couldn't find anything to hold my interest. There are a lot of characters but they are all pretty shallow, which makes them a little tough to keep track of. The plot was fine, at a basic level, but the story took never dove into any topic enough to get interesting. There were details, but they we so tangential that it just sounded like a disgruntled comment section rant, supported by Google search catch phrases.

It was surprisingly bad.

Just a great book and narrator

Revisado: 11-20-18

This was a really fun book. My kids really enjoyed it, and I did too. Great characters and a great story. The narrator did a fantastic job and really helped us get into the story.
If you looked harry potter, you'll enjoy this one.

very interesting

Revisado: 06-14-17

This was a great listen for anyone who has an interest in computer science or just want to have a better foundation of common sense.

There were a couple chapters in the middle that got a little rambley, but overall the book and performance kept my attention all the way through.

it's a good listen

Revisado: 03-21-17

it is a good book on the basics of negotiating. Definitely worth a listen if you are looking for a book on the topic.

It doesn't get to in depth, just keeps on the point of logic based negotiation.

A worthy leadership read/listen

Well narrated book on how to lead and inspire. Reinforces the fact that you don't get to the top by your self. had some great stories to go along with the topics.

Where does The History of the United States, 2nd Edition rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of my favorites. I don't think you'll find a better US history book.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The History of the United States, 2nd Edition?

The organization of information was great. It followed topics through time which made events easier to follow. Rather than history books that follow a strict timeline, this one followed the timeline of specific events or related events which made them easy to understand. It did make it shift forward and back a little to keep the sections logical, but it was still very clear and easy to follow.

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

Professor Allen was probably the best. He was the first one and had the longest section.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I wanted to, but didn't have 43 consecutive hours to spare.

Any additional comments?

All of the speakers have a slow speech cadence, so I played it a 1.25X speed which worked well.
