    From underdog to Green Bay's top QB
    Aaron Rodgers has been a quarterback worth watching in his NFL career. There was still a lot I didn't know. "Aaron Rodgers: The Inspirational Story..." showed that he was not a "jock", but an athlete with a passion for sports, a mind that was academically strong, and the motivation and determination to achieve dreams such as playing for top colleges and the NFL. While he did not get his first choice of the San Francisco 49ers, he has made a name for himself through his leadership and team approach with the Green Bay Packers. As one of the most notable quarterbacks of these era, he is an ideal role model. When I share this book with my teenage son, he will know that more as well. This book is full of stats and facts, but definitely interesting!
    but great amount of material for my child who dislikes reading
    Not a thick book, but great amount of material for my child who dislikes reading. Kept his interest!
    is it legal to publish a wiki?
    I can get more from his wiki article, and for free. I imagined reading this in the microsoft Sam voice. Billie, if you can make money, even $2 a pop, off this crap, I should start publishing Wikipedia articles as e-books, too.
    Lastly, read like a bad high school essay. If you weren't going to go into any sort of detail, you could have a least been entertaining.
    Learn Who the "Real" Aaron Rogers Is
    Well written but very short book on the life of Aaron Rogers. Finding out who Aaron Rogers was has really changed my opinion about him. The book has shown me that the press doesn't always portray a player as they really are.
    It's OK
    Take it or leave it, if your a packer fan and want to know Aaron's story I guess it's ok.

    Are you kidding? This is barely a pamphlet. ...
    Are you kidding ? This is barely a pamphlet...you are calling this a book ? There are fewer than 20 pages to this and 8 of those pages are blank on one side. Two other pages have two lines on the page. Unbelievable.
    This is not a book!!
    Shame on me. I normally read reviews and comments. Please know this is a pamphlet. I have never been more disappointed in a purchase in my life.
    Perfect read for my 3rd graders biography project!
    This was a great book for my 8 year old to read for her biography project. It had a lot of interesting facts that she never knew about Dirk and it was informative about his personal and career lives.
    Truly Inspirational
    This is a great book. Bill Redban does a remarkable job of enticing us with the unique and interesting story of such a talented athlete. This book is a must read for any basketball fan. You won't be disappointed.
    Loved it
    I loved this book it is so inspirational . If you are looking for a great sports book this is what I would recommend Dirk Nowitzki is an amazing player.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Tiaina Baul "Junior" Seau is widely considered one of the best linebackers ever to play the game. A 10-time All-Pro and 12-time Pro Bowl selection, Seau was picked for the NFL's All-Decade Team in the 1990s. His incredible career spanned two decades, during which time he played for the Chargers, Dolphins, and Patriots. In 2012, at the age of 43, Seau committed suicide with a gunshot wound to the chest. News of his death sent shockwaves through the NFL. Later, studies concluded that Seau had been suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a type of brain damage. His tragic death opened the door to hundreds of inquiries about the trauma from NFL players and their families. Drawing on exclusive access to Seau's family and Seau's never-before-seen diaries and letters, veteran reporter Jim Trotter goes beyond the statistics to paint a moving portrait of a larger-than-life star whose towering achievements in the game came at a great cost.

    Five Stars
    Son loved this book
    Ortiz hit 58 home runs and had 238 RBIs less than 10 HRS and 25 RBI's a SEASON Un-employed and ow 27+ years David's best buddy,
    Minnesota Twins (1997â2002)
    Ortiz made his Major League debut for the Twins on September 2, 1997. For several years, he split playing time between the Twins and their minor league affiliate in Connecticut, the New Britain Rock Cats,
    The Twins released Ortiz after the season, after finding themselves unable to find a team willing to trade for him. In of six seasons with the Twins, Ortiz hit 58 home runs and had 238 RBIs less than 10 HRS and 25 RBI's a SEASON
    Un-employed and ow 27+ years David's best buddy, Pedro Martinez gets the RED SOX to sign David because Pedro gets what he wants or will pout and come up with phantom problems not to pitch....BINGO...A miracle happens.
    Mr. Ortiz finds a fountain or should I say needle of youth and strength. wacking 50 + homer 125 + RBI...40 HR seasons common...NOW into his 40's and still one of the best HR hitters....go figure ?
    Yes he was named in a Major league report that he was a steroid user but don't let that ruin a good fictional story.
    A LITTLE DATED---BUT---INFORMATIONAL
    A nice little, quick read. The bad news, is, any time that you write a book about someone who is still living, it is, most of the time, dated by what that person is doing NOW. That said, being a Red Sox / Big Papi fan, I did manage to garner a couple of things about Ortiz that I hadn't realized. Quick read, fun book.

    Publisher's Summary:
    When Marco Pierre White's mother died when he was just six years old, it transformed his life. Soon his father was urging him to earn his own keep, and by 16 he was working in his first restaurant. White went on to learn from some of the best chefs in the country, such as Albert Roux, Raymond Blanc and Pierre Koffmann.
    He survived the intense pressure of hundred-hour weeks in the heat of the kitchen, developed his own style and then struck out on his own.
    At Harveys in Wandsworth, which he opened in 1987, he developed a reputation as a stunning cook and a rock 'n' roll sex god of the kitchen. But he was also a man who might throw you out of his restaurant, and his temper was legendary, as younger chefs such as Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal would find out when they worked for him.
    He eventually opened several more restaurants, won every honour going, and then realised that it still wasn't enough.
    Here, Marco takes the reader right into the heat of the kitchen with a sharp-edged wit and a sizzling pace that will fascinate anyone brave enough to hit "play" on this book and enter his domain.
    Members Reviews:
    Marco is one of a kind.
    I enjoy every second of it, he is man with a very deep character, I really admire him. Even here he won all the stars.
    great insperation
    greeat insperation for anybody working in a kitchen or any other foodloving person. recommend it a lot.
    He's not the Devil that he makes out he is!
    What did you like most about The Devil in the Kitchen?
    The honesty, intensity, passion and humour that runs throughout this book...
    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Devil in the Kitchen?
    There are several that stand out, but dealing with the great British public was his forte!
    Have you listened to any of Timothy Bentincks other performances? How does this one compare?
    At first I was not sure, but he does a very good job, in fact he was really good and his various accents were brilliant...
    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
    No, not at all as there was so much going on and I had to re-visit several times
    Any additional comments?
    Marco is a great character, full of energy (Well he was then) with a great sense of fun and humour as well as his determination which was manic.
    If you want to be a good chef kiss goodbye to the family life...
    Looking forward to his new series on TV starting this week 5/10/15...
    Magical
    Fantastic insight to becoming one of the top chefs
    Enjoyed listening to the carry ons of working life in top notch kitchens in London
    Marco has certainly earned his stars and his right to called one of the best true chefs we have.
    Highly recommend it
    Im still smiling now thinking about his antics
    Should have read it himself....
    really good
    showing the dedication required to be a top chef....
    not to be taken lightly watch out for the explitives and crudeness if listening within earshot of children..

    KSI
    yup after listening to this, I've definitely come to the conclusion that I am a Bellend.
    Good but missing some things
    The book was only 10% about him and basically random other shit, He promised to show why he fell out with Gudjon but i couldnt find it anywhere. Also he kept referring to things like below this and pictures even though it's an audiobook. Alright audiobook, would of been great if I bought the actual book.
    MAD BOOK REALLY GOOD
    REALLY ENJOYED LISTENING TO THIS IT WAS GREAT FUN AND IT WAS A GOOD 2 HOURS OF MY LIFE REALLY FUNNY RECOMMENDED
    Ridiculous self indulgent tripe
    Anyone that supports the author of this book should be put in prison. He is an arse.

    Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes
    Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities
    Publisher's Summary:
    A compelling portrait of the time when freedom of speech and the need to throw off censorship came to the fore, told through its great trials, from Lady Chatterley's Lover to Howard Marks
    Born in 1915 into the fringes of the Bloomsbury Group, Jeremy Hutchinson went on to become the greatest criminal barrister of the 1960s, '70s and '80s. The cases of that period changed society forever, and Hutchinson's role in them was second to none.
    In Case Histories, Thomas Grant examines Jeremy Hutchinson's most remarkable trials, each one providing a fascinating look into Britain's postwar social, political and cultural history.
    Accessibly and entertainingly written, Case Histories provides a definitive account of Jeremy Hutchinson's life and work. From the sex and spying scandals which contributed to Harold Macmillan's resignation in 1963 and the subsequent fall of the Conservative government to the fight against literary censorship through his defence of Lady Chatterley's Lover and Fanny Hill, Hutchinson was involved in many of the great trials of the period.
    He defended George Blake, Christine Keeler, Great Train robber Charlie Wilson, Kempton Bunton (the only man successfully to steal a picture from the National Gallery), art faker Tom Keating, and Howard Marks, who, in a sensational defence, was acquitted of charges relating to the largest importation of cannabis in British history.
    He also prevented the suppression of Bernardo Bertolucci's notorious film Last Tango in Paris and did battle with Mary Whitehouse when she prosecuted the director of the play Romans in Britain.
    Above all else Jeremy Hutchinson's career, both at the bar and later as a member of the House of Lords, has been one devoted to the preservation of individual liberty and to resisting the incursions of an overbearing state. Case Histories provides entertaining, vivid, and revealing insights into what was really going on in those celebrated courtroom dramas that defined an age as well as painting a picture of a remarkable life.
    Critic Reviews:
    "Throughout a long career, [Jeremy Hutchinson's] brilliant and stylish advocacy achieved success in cases that looked unwinnable." (Helena Kennedy)
    "Jeremy was not just a good lawyer; he was fearless in standing up to judges. He was the most formidable advocate of the 1960s and '70s and he had a marvellous sense of mischief." (Geoffrey Robertson)
    Members Reviews:
    Lovely narrator, but a dull hagiography
    There are two reasons I did not like this book. First, the author does not appear trustworthy, including rank speculation that there might have been secret communications between the government and the court in a spy case based on nothing more than the judge having imposed a harsh sentence when Hutchinson requested a lenient one. Second, Hutchinson is lauded for his lofty rhetoric, which is extensively quoted. Thankfully, the legal profession has mostly moved past flowery language to focus on the facts, but either that was not the case when Hutchinson was practicing, or the author decided to take the easy way out and quote lengthy arguments rather than explain the strategies and investigations that led to them.

    Title: American Legends: The Life of Annie Oakley
    Author: Charles River Editors
    Narrator: Amy Pastoor
    Format: Unabridged
    Length: 1 hr
    Language: English
    Release date: 06-02-15
    Publisher: Charles River Editors
    Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities
    Publisher's Summary:
    Discusses Annie's performances and encounters with legends like Buffalo Bill Cody, Sitting Bull, and Queen Victoria.
    "Aim at the high mark and you will hit it. No, not the first time, not the second time, and maybe not the third. But keep on aiming and keep on shooting, for only practice will make you perfect. Finally you'll hit the bull's-eye of success." (Annie Oakley)
    A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known.
    The Wild West made legends out of many men, who came to be identified with the unforgiving nature and spirit of the frontier. Men like Wyatt Earp have long been celebrated for their toughness, swagger, and fearless courage. So it's no surprise that the few women who could match the men in toughness and gunplay have also become legends of the West.
    There was little about the childhood of Phoebe Ann Mosey that indicated that she would grow up to become Annie Oakley, one of the best sharpshooters the world has ever seen, and an icon of the West. Her parents, Jacob and Susan, were Quakers who migrated from Pennsylvania to Darke County, Ohio, after a fire destroyed their inn and their livelihood. Their daughter, who would become a national celebrity during her own life for "The Little Sure Shot of the West", learned her gun skills out of necessity, using them to hunt for food around the Cincinnati area, thousands of miles away from the dusty towns and saloons of the West.

    Teeny tiny font.
    I'm sure the content is good, but I can't read the font size! The font is horrible. It's such tiny print I tried to read it, and stopped. I'd recommend reprinting in a larger font.
    I'm only 38. I read books all of the time as a third grade teacher. I read on my phone, and kindle too. I have never stopped reading a book before because of font size.
    Four Stars
    Good background information.
    Real Legend
    A great read about an real life American Legend
    Great Read
    This historical book was about an historical person named annie oakley who was a famous lady of the american west .
    A True American Hero!
    Enjoyed this book about Annie Oakley. It is well written an easy read that was hard to put down. I now know a bit more about this little powerhouse! She was definitely more than just a sharp shooter. She hit the target in life where it matters most. A woman of fine character and integrity!

    Publisher's Summary:
    Bernard Hinault is one of the greatest cyclists of all time. He is a five-time winner of the Tour de France and the only man to have won each of the Grand Tours on more than one occasion.
    Three decades on from his retirement, he remains the last Frenchman to win the Tour de France. His victory in 1985 marks the turning point when the nation who had dominated the first eight decades of the race they had invented suddenly found they were no longer able to win it.
    Hinault is the last old-school champion: a larger-than-life character from a working-class background, capable of winning on all terrains, in major Tours and one-day Classics. Nicknamed the 'Badger' for his combative style, he led a cyclists strike in his first Tour and instigated a legendary punch-up with demonstrators in 1982 while in the middle of a race. Hinault's battles with team-mates Laurent Fignon and Greg LeMond provide some of the greatest moments in Tour history.
    In Bernard Hinault and the Fall and Rise of French Cycling, number-one best-selling author William Fotheringham finally gets to the bottom of this fascinating character and explores the reasons why the nation that considers itself cyclings home has found it so hard to produce another champion.
    Members Reviews:
    I, Hinault - The Badger's life
    A fine journey into the mind, body & sporting life of possibly the most impressive - and proud - racing cyclist... ever. Splendidly written, this book is a must read/listen for any cycling and sports fan. It offers a deeper than usual insight into winning with panache. Highly recommended.
    Well written appreciation of France's greatest male cyclist
    Only very slightly marred by the mispronunciation of key names, e.g. Koechli. Fotheringham, who lived and raced in France for 2 years, and has reported on cycling for more than 20, is informed, perceptive & witty.
    A good tale told well
    An interesting story filling in the many gaps of my knowledge. Just wish there had been a bit more of a wow factor but then Hinault Isn't a wow type of guy.
    The Badger
    What did you like most about Bernard Hinault and the Fall and Rise of French Cycling?
    Very well written with lots of interesting analysis and detail
    What other book might you compare Bernard Hinault and the Fall and Rise of French Cycling to, and why?
    Other cycling books
    What about Joseph Kloskas performance did you like?
    Good french pronunciation and pleasant voice to listen to

    "I've had a lot of unhappiness in my life - and a lot of happiness. Who doesn't?" (Rita Hayworth)
    A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known.
    Rita Hayworth's life and career remain fascinating to both the general public and avid movie fans alike. Even people with just a casual interest in movies appreciate her performances in films such as Gilda (1946), The Lady from Shanghai (1947), and Salome (1953), and few actresses could rival Hayworth's popularity during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Indeed, many of her most famous films are still enjoyed by viewers from around the world even today, and with her acting career spanning nearly 50 years, few viewers are not familiar with at least some of Hayworth's films, particularly since she appeared in films of a wide variety of genres. In addition Hayworth is also famously remembered for her status as one of the premier pin-up girls of World War II, with countless American soldiers who fought overseas carrying pin-up photos of Hayworth with them at all times. Even if she was never awarded an Academy Award, Hayworth remains extremely popular today, and it was no surprise that she was named one of the top 100 actresses of the 20th century by the American Film Institute in 1999.

    Not what I wanted
    I got this to read a bio of Rita Hayworth. I knew some details about her life because it was well publicized when her career quickly declined after the early 1950s. This was the first biography that I had purchased about her. I was not disappointed in the information but rather the way it was presented. I don't feel that the "editors" of this book have any idea how to write a biography. It was too cut and dry with a good amount of unsubstantiated information. The text reads like a paper from a film student. It was like sitting down to dessert and being served a stale muffin. I plan to avoid their bios on movie stars unless I'm taking a test on cinematography.
    Three Stars
    Wasn't as enjoyable to read....too technical movie jargon and not enough about her personally.
    Rita Hayworth-A Sham Biography
    This was a ripoff--not a real book,more a pamphlet edited by a hack. I will be more careful of Amazon in the future.
    Love Rita Hayworth
    I've been looking for a good book about one of my favorites. I found this one interesting, but wish it had had more personal info. To me it was more factual, but I did enjoy the read.
    Rita Hayworth, More than a wife
    Too factual. No depth of emotion or quotes from her. Very basic. Fill in the blanks, writer. Thank you much.
