Peyton Manning: The Inspirational Story

Peyton Manning is a national hero whether ones likes football or not...of course FOOTBALL makes him more of a sensation! This is a short book telling the background of Peyton, his work ethic, his UT schooling, his finding his future wife at his first year at UT, and his generous giving of himself and his money to needy causes. He is an all-inspiring icon and this is a good book to read...especially for a young person who is looking at work ethics and setting goals. My book was downloaded onto my Kindle and was from Amazon.

Stopped after Chapter 5

Chapters 1-5 were probably the best parts of this book...everything else was not really writing so much as listing what can be found online. Chapter 6 is literally what seems like a copied and pasted list of awards Peyton Manning has received over the years. Then, the book concludes...what?! It makes little sense. The final pages are then just purely promotional of the authors' other works. Lackluster effort at best.

fantastic

This book was well written and showed how humble and dedicated Payton is toward improvement. He is an inspiration to many with his dedication to study and improve because of it. It is wonderful how much he thinks of others and especially the children. What an excellent role model.

Excellent

This is a brief but informative view of the life of Peyton. Such an inspiration in a sports world full of murderers, adulterers, drug abusers and dog killers. This is the life of a true humanitarian that just happens to be the best quarterback in the game today.

It was short and sweet and informative

It was short and sweet and informative; somewhat like reading the Cliff's Notes of Manning: A Father, His Sons and a Football Legacy. While it was full of stats and facts it was somewhat lacking in the more personal details. It would probably be a good reference book for the Peyton Manning enthusiasts of which I would be included.

Good book

The book is just a Reoger Federer record. I www expecting Go kuno emote about his motivation and his way of thinking; what moved him to be like he is, how much is parents, wife, family, moved him to became âhis Majestyâ at tennis. Maybe in another book.

I have not even read the book yet. I was so disappointed that it was not a true novel but rather about a 12 page introductory. I thought i was buying a biography with his whole life story.

One Star

just info on various tournaments and facts.

A Fascinating and Fun Look at a Tennis Superstar

Roger Federer: The Inspirational Story has been such a fascinating read on one of the greatest athletes ever. Author Bill Redban does a wonderful job with the presentation of Federerâs career and many of his highlights in tennis. But the best part is how well he brings together some of the tennis superstarâs beginnings and all the work and sacrifices that go into creating a dream and having a passion for greatness. With so many years as a professional, you lose sight that they had to have a start somehow and I really enjoyed how much is covered with Roger Federerâs long history with the junior tennis championship and all he did at that time. Very inspirational for any young person looking for direction, in sports or just working hard. Overall, a wonderful biography with a bunch of stuff I didnât know about one of the greatest all around living persons.

this is a good read. Nice insights into the background and makeup ...

A true under dog story

Dustinâs story is not just about baseball, it is also a true under dog that defined all expectations. This is the kind of story that makes you believe that all things are possible. Through every set back Dustin came to overcome every obstacle in his way.

Pleasant and concise introduction.

A concise introduction Madison Bumgarner.

Bill Redban does a great job of highlighting the relatable and humble beginings of Madison Bumgarner which makes the story inspirational to the everyday person. Well written and thoughtfully laid out, it was a pleasant and easy read that showed both the professional and personal life of Bumgarner.

Book would be strengthened with some interviews from Bumgarner and the people who have affected his personal and professional life.

With it being so early in his career, I can only look forward to additional updates in the coming years as he matures in the field. Great read!

... book to be very interesting and to provide a great overview of Madison Bumgarner's life and his career

I found this book to be very interesting and to provide a great overview of Madison Bumgarner's life and his career. The book is well written and well laid out. The author has obviously done their research as there was plenty in here that I did not know even having looked him up on Wikipedia previously.

Overall this is an excellent book if you want to know more about Madison Bumgarner and provides a very interesting read.

Title: Last Man Standing

Author: Roger Moore

Narrator: Jonathan Keeble

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-03-15

Publisher: Whole Story AudioBooks

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

In a career that spans over seven decades, Roger Moore has been at the very heart of the show business scene. In this fabulous collection of true stories from his stellar career, Roger lifts the lid on the movie business, from Hollywood to Pinewood.

It features outrageous tales from his own life and career as well as those told to him by a host of stars and filmmakers, including Tony Curtis, Sean Connery, Michael Caine, Frank Sinatra, and many more.

Members Reviews:

An excellent collection of anecdotes and memories

Even if you are not a fan of Roger Moore there can be no denying that he has enjoyed an amazing career covering 6 decades in film and TV, and has mostly jumped from one chart-topping project to the next. Consequently this book of memories and stories from a man who really has seern it, done it and has a drawer full of T-shirts, is a must for any fan of film or TV.

Listeners will know Jonathan Keeble's smooth, authoritative narration from his many 'History in an hour' titles, but who knew he did such an excellent vocalisation of Roger Moore's measured, deep voice.In no time at all you believe you're listening to the man himself.

And you are going to love the Diana Dors story.....

Highly recommended

An autobiography by a British Icon

Not the best written book in the world. Basically lots of name dropping and slightly clumsy links between anecdotes BUT I REALLY ENJOYED IT! A very likeable man who actually has had an life full of amazing stories and experiences with amazing people to share (unlike some modern autobiographers). I really grew to appreciate what a charmed and full life someone who embraces life can have and what a nice guy!

Worth a read if you're old enough to remember the seventies.

Wonderful insights and brilliantly narrated

I listened to this while in the South of France and really enjoyed the vignettes and anecdotes about the greats of the film and theatre worlds, some of whom lived in Cap Ferhat which I visited. Roger Moore's dry and self-deprecating style came over very well as delivered by the narrator. If one did not know better it could have been him! If you enjoy hearing about the great stars such as Niven, Bette Davies, Rex Harrison etc as well as about Roger's own experiences then you should enjoy this book as much as I did.

Disappointed

I'm one of the few Scotsmen who think Roger Moore was a better James Bond than Sean Connery.

I was looking forward to this book of memoirs but it disappointed me somewhat in that the stories weren't that remarkable or even very amusing. The stories do get better as you read though them (or listen through them) though.

The best thing about this audiobook is the brilliant performance of the narrator who is a very accomplished impersonator.

Really Funny

Gossipy, Funny and amusing.

Fabulous. Especially the passport story.

He has the exact voice to make his story interesting.

Title: The Race of My Life

Subtitle: An Autobiography

Author: Milkha Singh

Narrator: Prateek Sharma

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-14-15

Publisher: Reado

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Milkha Singh has led a life dominated by running, running, and running; from a boy who narrowly escaped death during Partition (most of his family was not so lucky), to a juvenile delinquent who stole and outran the police, to a young army recruit who ran his very first race to win special privileges for himself (a daily glass of milk). After that first race, Milkha Singh became an athlete by default. And what followed was the stuff legends are made of.

In this remarkably candid autobiography, Milkha Singh shares the amazing high of winning India's first ever gold in athletics at the Commonwealth Games, the unbridled joy of being hailed as the Flying Sikh in Pakistan, as well as the shattering low of failure at the Olympics. Simple, yet ambitious; famous, yet grounded; enduring temptations all around him, yet remaining celibate so he could focus on racing; meeting a rich and beautiful girl who was desperate for him, yet fighting the world to marry his lady love, Nimmi, even as the on-field drama found its way into his personal life, Milkha is a man who has defined his own destiny. And yet, for a man whose life is dominated by sports, he continues to remain disillusioned with the way sports are run. Powerful and gripping, The Race of My Life documents the journey of an impoverished refugee who rose to become one of the most towering figures in Indian sports.

Title: Laurel & Hardy and Abbott & Costello: America's Most Popular Comedy Duos

Author: Charles River Editors

Narrator: Peter D Stover, Keith Peters

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-25-15

Publisher: Charles River Editors

Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

By the 1920s English comic Stan Laurel had been in dozens of films, and American Oliver Hardy had appeared in hundreds, but it was not until they formed a duo together in 1926 that they began to truly be noticed. Once they did, however, Laurel and Hardy became one of the most famous comedy teams in American history, with a career that spanned four decades and included over 100 combined shorts and feature films. Even today, nearly 60 years after their last performances together, Laurel and Hardy are still popular, alongside legends like The Three Stooges and Abbott and Costello, and their routines are still watched across the globe.

Perhaps most importantly, Laurel and Hardy were forerunners of slapstick comedy and thus influenced those that followed. Their complementary style of slapstick humor, with the thin, childish Laurel acting as a foil for the overweight and overly pompous Hardy, offered a template for others to follow, and the duo established several famous gags that other acts like the Stooges subsequently mimicked. For example, when Laurel occasionally came up with a smart idea, something completely out of character, the surprised Hardy would ask him to repeat what he just said, and Laurel would be unable to replicate it. That theme would recur with Curly and the Stooges, and Laurel and Hardy's use of "D'oh!" has been made even more famous by Homer Simpson in The Simpsons. Of course, the physical aspects of their slapstick, which often included destruction and mayhem, proved popular for them and several groups as well.

Title: American Legends: The Life of Katharine Hepburn

Author: Charles River Editors

Narrator: Cira Larkin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-16-15

Publisher: Charles River Editors

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Early in her career, there was no actress more controversial than Katharine Hepburn. By the end of her career, there was no actress more beloved than Katharine Hepburn. Famously labeled "box office poison" in 1938, it is clear that Hollywood was not prepared for the young Hepburn. Yet, even after being scorned by the general public, Hepburn still retained a magnetism that would endear her to the public for decades to come, and after a tumultuous first decade as an actress, Hepburn became arguably the biggest box office sensation in the industry. Moreover, in an era when most actresses were unable to secure starring roles after reaching middle age, Hepburn remained a leading lady even after turning 60.

Hepburn acted in some capacity from the start of the 1930s through the early-1990s, and it is important to view how the nature of Hepburn's roles changed from her youth to old age. Aside from being one of the most recognized and acclaimed actresses in history, Hepburn's career is also of great importance because she forced Americans to reevaluate their expectations for female behavior, both in films themselves and off the movie set as well.

American Legends: The Life of Katharine Hepburn profiles the life and career of one of America's most iconic actresses.

Members Reviews:

Not worth your time or money

This is a classic cut and paste and not a very good one at that. When the sources referenced are Darwin Porter and Charlotte Chandler and William Mann, you know you are in for a crock of crap.

Porter puts out swill that includes "conversations" which he invents and puts in the mouths of the subjects in addition to inventing situations that never occurred. Chandler is infamous for books about dead people which she claims are the result of "secret" interviews she did with them prior to their having died. Of course she has no written notes of tapes of the interviews to back up her claims. She doesn't even manage to make the "interviews" sound like anything that would come from the lips of the subject. And Mann wrote an atrocious book about Hepburn filled with assumptions, presumption, and surmise about her, her family, friends and lovers and palmed it off on the public as being the "real" story of Hepburn's life.

This book grabs garbage from those books and pastes it together with photos that have been seen everywhere. This writer can't even get Hepburn's height correct -- he lists her height at 6 feet. Maybe in his small brain she appeared that tall, but Hepburn was no where near six feet tall at any point in her life.

Don't spend your money or time on this waste of both. If you want to read about Hepburn, read her own memoir "Me" and Garson Kanin's "Hepburn and Tracy" and Scott Berg's "Kate Remembered" which taken together will give you a much more rounded view of Hepburn. And if you want to really enjoy Hepburn -- buy the videos of her interviews with Dick Cavett. They are absolutely worth the time and money.

Not too much detail

While there was some details about Katherine's early life I thought there would be more. Also details of her later life were not detailed enough. Have read other books about Hepburn that were much, much better.

Free is too expensive!

It started with a conclusion based on false information.

Title: American Legends: The Life of George Custer

Author: Charles River Editors

Narrator: Kirk Winkler

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-04-15

Publisher: Charles River Editors

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Since the Battle of Little Bighorn, George Armstrong Custer (1839-1876) has possessed one of the most unique places in American history. Although he was a capable cavalry officer who served honorably during the Civil War, he remains one of the most instantly identifiable and famous military men in American history due to the fact he was killed during one of the country's most ignominious defeats, the Battle of Little Bighorn. Yet this one relatively insignificant battle during America's Indian Wars has become one of the country's most mythologized events and continues to fascinate Americans nearly 140 years later.

Though he's now best remembered for "Custer's Last Stand", George Armstrong Custer began June 25, 1876 as one of America's better regarded cavalry officers and a man whose ambitions might one day take him to higher office. In fact, decades before radio and television existed, Custer mastered the art of public relations. He dressed impeccably and had newspaper correspondents accompany him on campaign, all in an effort to help cultivate and enhance his legacy. Custer's efforts worked, with one biographer noting that Americans during the 19th century viewed him as "a cavalier without fear and beyond reproach".

The last 10 years of his life were full of political and military intrigue as he attempted to position himself both in politics and the army while making himself one of the best known fighters of the Indian Wars. Those actions, along with the Battle of Little Bighorn, made him controversial even in his day, but with his death coming to be widely viewed as a sacrifice for his country, his legend and legacy grew throughout the nation. No matter what critics or supporters thought of him, George Armstrong Custer was unquestionably relevant.

So interesting reading about his exploits and learning more about the man himself. What particularly interested me was his participation in the civil war.

Title: Legends of the Ancient World: The Life and Legacy of Queen Nefertiti

Author: Charles River Editors

Narrator: Gordon Anthony Palagi

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-29-15

Publisher: Charles River Editors

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

In the early 20th century, over 3,000 years after her death, Nefertiti became a household name and one of the most famous women of the ancient world.

Egyptologists were aware that she was a queen of the New Kingdom Egypt during the later portion of the 18th dynasty, but she was little-known until the presentation of a reconstructed bust depicting her at the Berlin Museum in 1924. Nefertiti means "the beautiful one has come", and if the presented bust is anything to judge by she, was indeed a beautiful woman.

The bust of Nefertiti caused an enormous sensation following the glamorous discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamen in 1922 by Howard Carter. The bust was the work of the ancient royal sculptor Thutmose and was first discovered by German archaeologists in a fragmented state in the remains of Thutmose's workshop at the ancient city of Akhetaten, known today as Tell el-Amarna.

With the discovery and display of the bust, the once little known queen Nefertiti became eponymous with Ancient Egypt, alongside that of the Great Pyramids at Giza and the Golden Funerary Mask of the young Tutankhamen. Thanks to that bust, Nefertiti's image has become immortalized and may be found in replica busts, earrings, necklaces, paintings and seemingly every other artifact that can be found in Egypt.

The Queen

Of all the pieces written about this lady, surely somewhat could have written something resembling history or the fiction of history made understandable. This is just a rehash of known knowledge that is poorly written, exhibits little research and less understanding of the way of life in this dynasty

Nefertiti

Easy to read and a good introduction for any beginner on Nefertiti. However i would have liked a little more substance to this book. It told me nothing new that i had already not read.

Nefertiti

Oh yeah, I am really into the worlds before us.

Not enough about Nefertiti

Not too bad a history but I thought there wasn't enough coverage of Nefertiti herself and too much filler material on other people of her time. But this could be because there isn't a lot of info on her, even the editors say something to that effect.

Nefertiti delivers

I love learning about ancient Egypt and this book delivers. Nefertiti has always facinated me and couldn't wait to read the book. I like the photos of some of the limestone reliefs that depict her in some way.I learned more about her through reading this book and recommend it to any one who enjoys reading about ancient Egyptians.
