À propos de cet audio

 With dramatic flair, Jeff Guinn delivers the definitive portrait of Bonnie and Clyde. These media-savvy outlaws appealed to America's Depression-era hunger for swashbuckling characters. Glowing radio and newspaper reports transformed these "public enemies" into celebrities - much like the cinema gangsters of the time.©2009 24 Words LLC (P)2009 Recorded Books, LLC Amériques True Crime États-Unis Biographie Vol

Ce que les critiques en disent

"With the brisk pacing of a novel, Guinn's richly detailed history will leave readers breathless until the final hail of bullets." ( Publishers Weekly)
"A fine work of history.... Easily readable and includes much of the last two decades' new scholarship.... Go Down Together is especially good at...placing Bonnie and Clyde in context." ( The New York Times Book Review)

Personally I find it extremely difficult to get into a book but this was a surprising exception!
From the first chapter I was drawn in and the story is so detailed and interesting it keeps you surprised and entertained! Amazing writing and the person voicing it is perfect for the story.

I have read three other Jeff Guinn Books about famous or notorious people and found therm well-researched, informative, insightful, entertaining, and wonderfully well-written. Go Down Together is no exception. Jeff Guinn at his best--as usual.

I couldn't stop listening. So well researched and gives a fair and clear portrayal of all involved. I will be listening to this one again.

Fascinating Story

This is a fantastic book - it's honestly hard to put down. The story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow is rightly celebrated.. for better or worse. They are mesmerizing individuals. The *romanticization* of genuinely horrible people (Billy The Kid, The James Gang, John Dillinger, etc.) by the American public is fascinating - but Jeff Guinn doesn't weigh in.. rather he presents an incredibly well-researched exposé of the upbringing, life events, and notorious crimes of a surprisingly relatable pair of Sociopaths. He's a little too sympathetic to these criminals, but the author merely presents a painstakingly accurate documentary and invites readers to draw their own conclusions. Guinn's ability to paint a picture of 1930s America and bring historical characters to life is outstanding. The writing in this thought-provoking book is impressive.

Then.. there's the narration. I actually found myself feeling bad for Jonathan Hogan. Another reviewer queried whether he had recently had surgery on his tongue or something - and that's spot-on. He has a speech impediment of some kind - garbling words, whistling, and lisping his way through all 16 hours of the text. Compounding the issue, he reads robotically and at a frustrating plodding pace. I sped the playback speed to 1.25X - which helped a little - and if you buy this audiobook, I strongly advise you to try the same. I hope the man got some help (or found a new job).

This is a 9.5/10 True Crime book, but legitimately horrific narration brings the merit down to 5.5/10. I bought it after a 'Daily Deal' offer, and the $7.50 I paid wasn't a total mistake.. but a Credit would be a waste.
