I already do this kind of work so not all of this book was new information but it was good validation that I’m on the right track as an unofficial PM. Gave a concept, gave examples, easy to follow. Overall a helpful read. ]]> Review4139478197 Mon, 23 Sep 2024 07:39:29 -0700 <![CDATA[Alex added 'The History of Jazz']]> /review/show/4139478197 The History of Jazz by Ted Gioia Alex gave 5 stars to The History of Jazz (Paperback) by Ted Gioia

I really like this author and the book was well-written but there were parts of it that were tough to get through for me, particularly the part about child predators or sexual offenders; it just gave me the “ick.� But it was all used to make a point. Wasn’t my favorite read but it was worthwhile and made some very solid arguments. ]]> Review4083831131 Tue, 17 Sep 2024 19:04:12 -0700 <![CDATA[Alex added 'The Lost City of the Monkey God']]> /review/show/4083831131 The Lost City of the Monkey God by Douglas Preston Alex gave 3 stars to The Lost City of the Monkey God (Kindle Edition) by Douglas Preston
3.5 stars. It dragged on a bit and felt like it could have been a long article that was stretched into a book. I liked the topic and it wasn’t poorly written, just didn’t have that “can’t put it down� vibe. ]]> Review6830029190 Tue, 10 Sep 2024 20:47:25 -0700 <![CDATA[Alex added 'Water for Elephants']]> /review/show/6830029190 Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen Alex gave 4 stars to Water for Elephants (Kindle Edition) by Sara Gruen
