Review from Game Theory →
First third of book is generally unbearable. Dry and boring examples and probabilities mostly of imaginary games no one would ever play. Will be requesting a refund. Audio sample completely misrepresents the book.

This audiobook is about Elton John’s final tour and also looks back on his entire touring career. Narrator Richard Armitage reads EJ’s side of the story and makes him sound very warm and likeable and I believe EJ has these qualities, but this is the most annoyingly self-congratulatory book I’ve read in many years, so..
This was not as entertaining as the auto-biography, but still very good. Interesting to hear about the tour, life on the road, his review of his career, etc. Sir Elton has stood the test of time & his music has & will live on forever! At times, the book seemed a bit “braggy” about the..

These guys were the og Badasses. Saw the movie 300 years ago and it’s cool to see how close to real life that was. A few strong men stood against the invading Persians. Narrator mispronounced some names tho…
