great book, terrible ending

Revisado: 08-14-23

This book is addictive. The story sucked me in and the fast pace never let up. The ending was vague and unsatisfying. It was a shame after such a great read.

The least tragic story of WWII

Revisado: 07-26-23

I only listened a few minutes until I had to stop. I kept thinking, was this the same day that Elie Wiesel and thousands of others were marched out of Auschwitz on the Death March? was this the same day the Nazis bombed the gas chambers to hide their crimes? was this the same day ... you get the idea. The Prussian "refugees" and the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustav are the least tragic stories of WWII. I felt no sympathy or connection at all. this was my second purchase because of a tik tok review.

Tweeners YA novel

Revisado: 07-07-23

This book was recommended on BookTok. The book is definitely YA, very young YA. I listened to a few chapters, right up until the intrepid protagonist stated, "far be it for me to challenge a woman in her own kitchen." I cant believe authors are still writing this crap.

Boring and Slow

Revisado: 06-28-23

This book is so boring. The stories are incredibly slow and I never made it to the end of the book. I jumped ahead and listened to the last few minutes of the final story and got the general gist. I cant recommend this one.

really gets old fast

Revisado: 06-25-23

While intriguing and witty at first, the feeling cannot be sustained. Nothing of much note happens in the story. The death of a few characters is clearly contrived for shock value. Ultimately, I skimmed thru the last few chapters without much interest.

interesting, but ultimately unsatisfying

Revisado: 04-12-23

book is very, very slow in the beginning and does not really start until 1/3 into the book. the story is oftentimes too dense for the average reader. a very unsatisfying ending. interesting, but ultimately not that great

almost unusable

Revisado: 04-02-23

This book is almost unusable. The narrator provides approximately 3 words, then requests that you repeat a 10 - 15 word sentence. You have learned only 3 words in the sentence, so the remainder is close to gibberish. The format is quite unrealistic.

Too long and fantastical

Revisado: 01-16-23

I enjoyed this book, but it was much too long. It has a mystical foundation, and the devil himself makes an appearance. it was not what I was expecting, but it was an interesting read. I admit, I started skipping past the Roland/King chapters, and ultimately, at about 20 hours in, I finally skipped to the last five chapters. I would recommend it only to readers who enjoy fantasy and mysticism. the narration was excellent.

I tried, but couldn't read it

Revisado: 12-09-22

The first chapter talks about the devastation of Germany, homeless and hungry Germans, women doing GI laundry and how cold it was at the River. All I could think was, good. They deserve it. The German "wasnt" a Nazi, because he didnt want to join. That excuse didnt work at Nuremberg and it is just as distasteful here. This "wonderfully compassionate" pilot helped Nazis murder 6 million Jews and others by torturing them to death. My greatest wish is that the pilot died alone, and tortured by guilt. Nothing he did can erase his complicity.
I couldnt even finish the first chapter. To the author: he was a Nazi.

very bad narration

Revisado: 10-12-22

the story was pretty good, but the narrators shrill voice just grated on my nerves. no acting skills at all. only listened to 2 chapters and had to shut it off.
