Giant let down- narrator changed

Revisado: 05-01-25

I really liked the story so far. But this book felt extremely tedious and slow, compared to the first 2 books. Long conversations that didn’t move the story forward. It felt like this could have been a short novella, given what actually took place.

The change in narrator was really disappointing. Not only were the returning characters voices and cadence different, but most characters came across as whining, in my opinion. Father Bianca and Ragnar sounded like the same, impotent complainer.

Really interesting continuation of the story. Narration is on point. I liked the new characters that were introduced.

Really great

I can’t recommend this enough, if you like this genre. Even if you have seen the show. Really deep story. Great narration.

Loved this book and the rest in the series

Revisado: 01-10-19

Characters were very fun and very well developed. Most had layers to them, not all good or bad. Just people dealing with life.

I thought the story was extremely entertaining and I thought the humor was well placed as well. The action was great and the various story lines were all interwoven and came together very well. Very interesting story.

Fun book, solid 3.5

Revisado: 01-10-19

Pretty basic western, which I enjoy. Different plot twist that was fun. Nothing earth shattering, but I listened steadily all the way through. If I could give half stars, I would give it a 3.5.

I couldn't make myself finish

Revisado: 01-10-19

Maybe I pulled the plug too early on this book as a result of feeling burned by another recent disappointment (Man in the High Castle). It felt like this book had a good premise, but was going nowhere. So instead of gutting it out and hoping for the best, I walked.

With maybe one exception, the characters were extremely boring and I couldn't care less about what they were occupying themselves with.

The narration was tough on this one too, though maybe I felt that because I just didn't like the story.

I need to do better research before purchasing books. It seems like a lot of people write negative reviews and still give a book 3 stars. I think the overall rating is misleading once you read the individual reviews.

What???

Revisado: 12-19-18

I love the premise, but the book had almost nothing to do with it. People lived in a world where the US lost WWII, but the actual story was just non existent. It felt more like a collection of horribly long and abstract poems than a story.

It would be like....if Dorothy went to Oz, and they did a quick explanation about the yellow brick road, the wicked witch, etc. But then really deeply explored the relationships and angst of the tin man and some random dudes from the lollipop guild. Maybe a 3 page inner monologue from a flying monkey. You would yell, what about Oz! Use the landscape you created!

If the last sentence contained, “but that’s what happens when the whole population is on acid”, it would have made more sense.....though it would have still been terrible.

The performance may be better than a star, but it’s hard to tell with a story this bad.

What disappointed you about Drums Along the Mohawk?

There were characters and points in the book that I liked. I just found a lot of the book to drag.

What did you like best about this story?

I thought this was a great story with terrific characters who evolved throughout the book. I felt like a got a view through a window into the lives and mindset of several nationalities of that time period.

Outstanding

What did you love best about Tai-Pan?

I loved the varied story lines and how they built on the history of Hong Kong and Asia as a whole. If all of the interactions between countries, their people and religions weren't accurate, they were certainly believable. All of the story lines seemed to collide at the end to form a well thought out and cohesive story.
