Not What I Thought

Listened to the sample, sounded interesting so I bought it. Tried giving it a go, but... I less than half way through and can't go further. It's very slow. Slow and dry. Uneventful. And again, very very slow. Definitely not for me.

AWESOME!!!

This book is a Must Read for everyone who loves non-fiction, I read it from front to back, non stop!!!

Literally couldn't put it down!!!!

What an unbelievable, entertaining life this GRINGO has lived.

True story WOW!

Being from South Dakota, my father & Uncle were friends with Dan Davis.. I personally knew Dan as a young boy and was a 19 years old when I last saw him 30 years ago. Dan thank you for sharing you the rest of your story… ONE CRITICAL ISSUE: I wish they would of used a different narrator. His monotonous voice used to tell Dan’s colorful story. Horrific.. however the story outweighs the Milquetoast narrator.

Dislike the narrator

Narrator did not fit with the book. It’s too bad, it could have been great

unbearable!!

the narration is so awful. it sounds like arrogant, smug exaggeration. don't waste the credit!

Great bio!!!

Great bio regardless how you feel about the person and his actions. Always great listening to peoples stories and what turned them into what they became despite choices dealt in life.

Voice inflection!

I listened to most of this in the car during a road trip. The narrator drove me nuts speaking with the voice inflection of a news caster and then trailing off to near inaudible sighs at the end of a sentence and all of a sudden starting a new sentence or clause with the volume of a used car sales commercial in the same breath. I kept having to turn the volume down and up depending on the force of the point the author was trying to make, which brings me to the story. The first quarter is about drug smuggling, the remainder is about hanging out in South America and hoping he doesn’t get caught. I get it, he lived an interesting life, but I don’t think the subtitle really lives up to the subject matter.

Review

Narorator is dry, story is drawn out, way too long. Much better ones out there.

Fascinating!

What a fascinating story!! Dan “Tito” has had a very interesting life and the book explains it very well. The narration is very well done as well.

Totally recommend it!

Great book, ends somewhat abruptly

Fascinating story and all in all a very interesting listen. My only complaint is to say the end is somewhat abrupt would be an understatement. I think it would have been better had he kind of explained, for better or worse, what that experience and subsequent arrest had done to his current life situation. It is just basically “I got arrested, I tried to get my legitimately acquired assets back, no dice. Audible hopes you enjoyed this program.”
