Title: Speed Kings

Author: Andy Bull

Narrator: Eric Meyers

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-25-15

Publisher: Random House Audiobooks

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

In the 1930s, as the world hurtled towards terrible global conflict, speed was all the rage. It was described by Aldous Huxley as 'the one genuinely modern pleasure', and one of the fastest and most thrilling ways to attain it was through the new sport of bobsledding.

Exotic, exciting and above all dangerous, it was by far the most popular event at the Lake Placid Winter Olympics. It required an abundance of skill and bravery. And the four men who triumphed at those games lived the most extraordinary lives.

Billy Fiske was an infamous daredevil blessed with a natural talent for driving. He would later become the first American airman to die in the war - flying for the RAF. Clifford Gray was a notorious playboy and a player both on Broadway and in Hollywood. Or was he? His identity was a mystery for decades.

Jay O'Brien was a gambler and a rogue who, according to one ex-wife, forced women to marry him at gunpoint. And Eddie Eagan, a heavyweight boxer and brilliant lawyer, remains the only man to win gold at both the Summer and Winter Olympics.

This is their story of loose living, risk-taking and hell-raising in an age of decadence and of their race against the odds to become the fastest men on ice. We will never see their like again. Especially after the world did descend into that second, terrible global conflict.

A different time, but basically little change in behavior.

Lots of twists and turns. A great read. Makes us realize what a small world we live in.

Five Stars

Fantastic read! So we written about the facts the glamour the sadness. Do yourself a favour and read it!

This is a brilliantly written and researched book about a subject you never ...

This is a brilliantly written and researched book about a subject you never thought you would care about. But you will. It is about good people, courageous. people, not quite perfect people, but the kind of people you wish you knew more of.

The four idealistic young men you will encounter here entered the first winter Olympic games in 1932 held at Lake Placid and won the Gold Medal. Their victory was pure improvisation. But they did so much more. and at a time--between the two World Wars--when the world was changing perhaps more completely than at any time in western history. This is a period Americans know too little about. Billy Fiske, a wealthy young American and the leader of the team, parted from his stunningly beautiful wife to join the RAF to fight for Britain in 1939. He was commissioned in March of 1940. A month later he was killed.

Andy Bull has a great deal to say, but he does not waste your time. His voice will get under your skin. In many many ways, this is a most remarkable book.

Members Reviews:

Escapism entertainment but repetitive

An interesting listen for a Towie fan, with insight into how the show works behind the scenes from a cast member who is a bit more savvy than the average. Writing style can be a bit sycophantic and feels insincere when talking about others at times with a few digs here and there! And by the sounds of it Sam clearly doesn't lack in confidence! Denise van outen does a good job reading, just a bit annoying at times but very listen-able. Overall, enjoyed it.

Got bored of hearing about Joey Essex...

Chapter one was just Joey Joey Joey...I couldn't get past the first chapter...nothing we haven't seen on towie.

A bit vacuous!

What would have made Secrets and Lies better?

I could slate this book to be honest, it's a very one sided view from someone, that to be fair doesn't come across as that experienced in life. However, it is what it is.

Sam's writing reflects her young age and I felt embarrassed for her listening sometimes.

Has Secrets and Lies put you off other books in this genre?

Yes

Did Denise Van Outen do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?

Denise's narration was below average in my opinion, but she didn't have a lot to work with to be fair.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Nothing really - it was just a young girl going on about what was important to her, from her perspective, advertising her favourite places and giving herself a pat on the back for being a role model! Honestly!!!!

Any additional comments?

Harmless enough, but take your brain out before you listen to or read it.

Okay.

Good to hear her side however not keen on the narrators voice slightly annoying and limited expression.

Title: Baptism

Subtitle: A Vietnam Memoir

Author: Larry Gwin

Narrator: Todd McLaren

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-24-15

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 227 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

A Yale graduate who volunteered to serve his country, Larry Gwin was only 23 years old when he arrived in Vietnam in 1965. After a brief stint in the Delta, Gwin was reassigned to the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) in An Khe. There, in the hotly contested Central Highlands, he served almost nine months as executive officer for Alpha Company, 2/7, fighting against crack NVA troops in some of the war's most horrific battles.

The bloodiest conflict of all began November 12, 1965, after 2nd Battalion was flown into the Ia Drang Valley west of Pleiku. Acting as point, Alpha Company spearheaded the battalion's march to landing zone Albany for pickup, not knowing they were walking into the killing zone of an NVA ambush that would cost them 10 percent casualties.

Gwin spares no one, including himself, in his gut-wrenching account of the agony of war. Through the stench of death and the acrid smell of napalm, he chronicles the Vietnam War in all its nightmarish horror.

Critic Reviews:

"Forcefully written, engrossing narrative, and heartfelt descriptions of some of the bloodiest battles of the war." (Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore, USA (Ret.), coauthor of We Were Soldiers Once... And Young)

Members Reviews:

Captivating... True war stories are fascinating!

Being only a civilian and never having served in any form of military life, I thought that I would have a hard time relating to the lingo and such, but the author did a very good job explaining every acronym and other terminology as he went along. That was very helpful and allowed me to experience the events as they took place as if I was there. The narrator did a great job as well and was very pleasant to listen to.

This audio book was well worth my credit and I would recommend it to anyone - especially those who like nonfiction historical type books.

A series of stories within author's tour

I enjoyed the author's perspectives on many issues ranging from fungal infections to hot landing zones. The author starts the book sometime around his plane trips out of the States, and ends when he gets sent to the rear after being wounded.

The narrator was excellent at basic storytelling and creating suspense as well as indignation - great voice. What I didn't like about the narrator is that he apparently didn't use technology to reduce the audio screeches that occurred when he uses voices of men yelling in the field during combat. Also, the narrator mispronounced some key words repeatedly. I'd certainly give the narrator another try though as experience is the best teacher and he's got natural talent for certain.

The story has so many types of experiences - great range of situations and emotions. I was captivated. The author seems very credible to me.

Hell of book telling a story that needs to be told

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

What Vietnam was really like...... ( I know, that's five words )

What did you like best about this story?

A vivid, well told personal account.

What about Todd McLarens performance did you like?

Outstanding....though he mispronounced a view words.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

While they partied at UC Boulder, good men died.........

Any additional comments?

Larry Gwin has memorialized those who fought and often died for their brothers.
