    In The Talent Code, award-winning journalist Daniel Coyle draws on cutting-edge research to reveal that ability really can be created and nurtured. In the process, he considers talent at work in venues as diverse as a music school in Dallas and a tennis academy near Moscow, demonstrating how the wiring of our brains can be transformed by the way we approach particular tasks. He reveals why some teaching methods are so much more effective than others.

    More than a million listeners have thrilled to Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln, the can't-stop-listening work of nonfiction about the shocking assassination that changed the course of American history. Now the anchor of The O'Reilly Factor recounts in gripping detail the brutal murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy—and how a sequence of gunshots on a Dallas afternoon not only killed a beloved president but also sent the nation into the cataclysmic division of the Vietnam War and its culture-changing aftermath.

    Its pace, descriptive story telling

    Reading Wilbur Smith but faster and emotional

    no


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    I felt genuinely sad, I felt elated, and I could hear JFKs voice come to mind often form the speeches I have heard recordings of, it makes me want to visit Arlington Cemetery and the Kennedy Library in Boston and I live in Dunedin New Zealand!

But someone has resurrected the name, and if he is not stopped, the world will pay a devastating price. Jason Bourne must live again.

    What did you love best about The Bourne Supremacy: Jason Bourne Series, Book 2?

    The story is told just as riveting as reading it when I did. really enjoyed this.


    What did you like best about this story?

    It is just a well told story with many twists and turns that make sense. If you like the political thriller with intrigue, you will love it.


    What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?

    great again, only Marie's accent not quiet there but it is a women's voice so that is understandable.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    I could feel my anticipation and 'edge of seat' tension many times through out.

    Through the study of these time-honored myths, the Greek heroes and gods - including Heracles, Zeus, Achilles, Athena, Aphrodite, and others - leap from the page in all their glorious splendor. The following lectures are not only an entertaining guide to Greek mythology, but a fascinating look into the culture and time that produced these eternal tales.

    If you could sum up Classical Mythology in three words, what would they be?

    I have always wanted to learn more about Greek mythology and its meanings then and today. This course was both easy to listen too, learn form, and enjoy. The accompanying pdf transcription download from the writers site is also an incredible resource.
    Loved it


    Have you listened to any of the narrator’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    No but I certainly would


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

    No and I couldn't have the subject is so large
