Enjoyable
The only problem I had is that it ended. I think that these are stories of the way Americans effected the culture of this country told in a way I could get into the story.

Fantastic read!! So many interesting stories!
I love the way Glenn and his team make history come alive with stories like these, and from his other books. There is so much hidden history in this country and so much truth that we never get to hear. Thanks Glenn!

great topic, great revelations, so-so delivery
What made the experience of listening to Dreamers and Deceivers the most enjoyable?
It had a lot of revelations and/or new/different details about well known peoples, places, and things.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Dreamers and Deceivers?
This is sad, but I waited to long to write the review to give you my best answer. What stuck with me till today is how Tesla and Edison fought and how dirty Edison got (using the electric chair as a way to demoralize his competition!) and over-all how even our most well known heroes were white washed and served to us as golden.
What three words best describe Jeremy Lowell’s voice?
Not that memorable.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Again, the part about the using the naming the electric chair after the competition and getting "tests" to prove how bad "Their" idea was, when in the end it really was the better idea.
Any additional comments?
If you don't mind, or even enjoy, changing your opinions about things you were just taught as "fact" (probably at a very young age), then you will enjoy this book. It's hard to contradict much of what is stated, as much of it is backed up with empirical evidence that was suppressed until forgotten.

History read without the emphasis on memorizing.
little snippets of history not found in text books with emphasis on seeing how our Democracy has operated in the past.

One of my favorite listens...EVER.
What did you love best about Dreamers and Deceivers?
Such a great mix of history and drama. Really enjoyed each story and learned something I didn't know in each chapter. The chapter about Desi and Lucy had me all chocked up!
Any additional comments?
I like this compilation because it makes it easy to listen to and come back to. I like my share of 30 hour novels but every once in a while it's nice to have something to break it up.
