Hear how the rivalry between Edison and Tesla literally changed the course of electricity, how sports fans nearly toppled the Roman Empire, how geniuses Chanel and Schiaparelli empowered women worldwide and had the greatest rivalry that wasn’t, and how the feud between Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali was so intense more people tuned in to their fight than watched Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon two years earlier.

This audiobook has it all: death beams, chariot races, flaming costumes, ear-munchers, party fleas, and whatever the opposite of epic poetry is.... No fact is too bizarre, no segue too surreal, and no sequitur is too non for this riotous sequel.

Great Production

This short little audiobook is fun for all ages. The production values are very good. Story number 3 Muhamad Ali vs Joe Frazier is worth the price of admission alone. The other three are okay, but this one is by far the best.

Fun way to learn history

Like Rivals1 this is a fun and educational format. I enjoyed the mix of scientists/inventors, boxing heavyweights, fashion designers and charioteers. The AC vs DC current explanation was well done. I hope there will be a Rivals3 on Audible soon!
Nice acknowledgement of the History of Byzantium podcast in the credits.

Great book!

I loved these two books and I hope there will be many more. I listened to this one in a single sitting because it was just so dang interesting and hilariously done.

always a fun delivery

I bet the actor's enjoyed this presentation .
A very nice book for a car ride /road trip.

Good Enough

I came across this book primarily because of Audible Escapes and the fact that I've listened to part one. Though these are interesting rivalries and the performance was excellent, I must say that the previous selection of rivalries in part one is more interesting. Of course that's a subjective review; but overall they're both good reads.

great, great

this is a great book and they do an awesome job with it. I will listen to this again. I hope there are more rivalries books coming.

Good job

Lol great book rivals 2 fixed the problems about the first but I just have a question is that a different narrator

Hoping for Another

Missed the previous narrator quite a bit, but still very well done. Hope there will be more!

Not as good as the original Frenemies

I love the original Frenemies. The feuds were very intriguing such that I read a couple books on the feuds. The production of Frenemies 2 is just as good but I don’t find the feuds interesting enough to rush out and read other books.

That being said, The Frenemies’ productions are some of the more entertaining and high quality Audible Originals that I have heard. “JERSEY!!!” 👍

I loved this audiobook

Please do more of them! It was fun for parents and kids alike! So interesting.
