Excellent Historical Fiction!

Revisado: 05-28-24

I was honestly surprised by how much I loved this true story of a small, secret group within the US Treasury department who tried to stop Hitler by crashing the German economy. The book starts slowly, but once it gets going, the pacing really picks up and it becomes hard to put down. The author does a great job of introducing economic concepts in a way that is easy to understand. This was a different perspective on WWII than anything I've ever read before and I think that is part of the reason I enjoyed it so much. The history is fascinating and the author takes great pains to be as accurate as possible. I listened while on a long car ride with my older parents and all three of us got hooked. The narrator was terrific.

Wonderful Narration

Revisado: 05-14-23

As many have mentioned, the narrator is wonderful! This book lends itself very well to being read out loud and Luke Thompson takes it to an entirely new level.

Perfect for fans of Jane Austen

Revisado: 06-28-20

This should be required reading for any fan of Jane Austen. Richard Armitage's narration is perfection and should not be missed.

I loved this series from start to finish. I thought this was the perfect conclusion to the trilogy. I can only hope for more Stevie Bell in the future.

This is narrative non-fiction at its absolute best. I highly recommend it. The narrator was the perfect choice.

Terrific!

Revisado: 04-09-19

I am going to agree with the others who said this book is even better than the first one. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a sequel so much.

I Didn't Think I'd Like Tom Clancy

Revisado: 09-16-18

Years ago, I got it into my head that I didn't like Tom Clancy. After watching and enjoying the new Jack Ryan series on Amazon, I decided to give him a shot. I thought Patriot Games was terrific - lots of action and interesting characters. I will definitely listen to more of Clancy's books, especially if they are narrated by Scott Brick.

A Wonderful Surprise

Revisado: 08-06-18

I listened to this book after a friend recommended the print version. The story sounded intriguing so I thought I'd give it a try, but, honestly, my expectations weren't really that high. I knew almost immediately, however, that this book was everything she said and so much more! First, the three narrators themselves were top-notch. Each gave life and breath to their character. Hearing the story from three perspectives enabled the listener to hear an event once from one character and then get a totally different perspective from another character. As a reader, I thought I had an understanding of the story, and then all of a sudden my understanding was completely upended.

The story itself was very intriguing - women boxing at the beginning of the 18th century. However, this book is so much more than a book about boxing, so don't let that stop you if boxing turns you off. This is a book about female empowerment in a society where women had very few options. I'd highly recommend this book!
