So useful in my own writing

Revisado: 04-07-25

I liked the practicality of her advice, and her examples were extremely useful, especially from her own writing and her writing experience

Great conspiracy story, but c’mon…

Revisado: 03-01-25

So many characters and such an extremely convoluted plotline! And the premise - that hundreds of young people would drop everything to join a movement with an unknown goal - really stretches credulity beyond the breaking point. However, if you’re into conspiracy stories, you’ll probably love it. Also the narrator was very consistent and appropriately cynical, which kept me listening.

Debunking at its best

Revisado: 02-12-25

Debunking of old myths is so welcome, especially the Godlike mythologizing of Robert E. Lee, and negative stories about Grant.

Rising suspense

Revisado: 02-02-25

This is a well crafted, well written thriller that starts off, kind of slow, but grows and grows. Good character, Ark in the changes in Tim and the growing evolving relationship between him and Quinn.

The truth of it

Revisado: 12-26-24

As frustrating as it was sometimes, I loved the slow - and painful - revelation of the truth. The emotional logic behind the characters’ behaviors and motivations was flawless.

The parallels are striking, but…

Revisado: 10-08-24

…there were several other cases that somewhat paralleled the plot and story of Lolita. Nabokov had been working on the novel that became Lolita for decades before he read about Sally Horner and the pedophile who abducted her. Still, the author writes in depth about Nabokov’s struggle to write and publish the novel, and the sad story of Sally Horner. So it’s worth reading from that standpoint.

All the twists and the characters- Matilda and Hightower most memorable.

Revisado: 06-26-24

Really entertaining - enjoyed Matilda, even though her detection skills were hard to believe, especially for a 14-year-old. I also liked the interactions between Jack and Hightower and all the crazy scrapes that they got into.

Moment by moment descriptions of events - very exciting.

Revisado: 03-18-24

Really good, although I lost the timeline about 3/4 of the way through with the defense of Moscow, then suddenly we were at Pearl Harbor. Also, it’s a bit skimpy on developments in Japan, compared to German invasion of Russia.

Everything - unbelievable graft and lack of shame.

Revisado: 03-14-24

Author knew his stuff and had so much information! Ultimately depressing that such a scoundrel, grifter and gangster was elected president.
