enjoyable novel

Too much fiction and artistic license, would have preferred more accuracy. No I wasn't expecting or wanting non-fiction.

Fabulous narration to a great book

Revisado: 10-25-24

The Saga continues. These books are so immersive and enjoyable. The knowledge that Randolph has of the time period shows through.

marginal narration

Revisado: 04-05-24

Good story. Sometimes the narration was very amateurish, like a child trying to read out loud to a classroom.

Childish Annoying Main Character

Revisado: 03-24-24

Good narration, but I don't like the main character at all. He's childish and can't ever be serious.

Coming of Age but not the Nam book as hyped.

Revisado: 03-12-24

If you like coming-of-age stories, this is a fantastic book with great insight on human nature. However, if you are looking for a book about Vietnam, you might be disappointed. This book is from the POV of Vincent who is looking back on the summer of his senior year, while his own son is ending his senior year of school and looking to the future. During Vincent's summer of '79 he worked on a construction crew with a couple of Vietnam Vets, one in particular would occasionally give snippets of stories from his summer of '68 on the Laotian border in Vietnam. Vincent also has possession of the Vet's journal from that year. Vietnam plays a small part of this book and just provides life lessons as Vincent both remembers the past and parents his son into his summer of 2016. I enjoy Dugoni's books, and I like this one for what it actually is. However, I picked it up because it was hyped as a fantastic book on Vietnam, which it isn't.

Narration issues, brilliant story

Revisado: 02-08-24

There are several spots where there is just dead air in the narration. Mr. Lloyd also mispronounces a number of words. I would expect a professional narrator to know that you noCK not noCH an arrow. That was just one example. This aside, I love Michael Crichton's books. He was an intelligent man that expects intelligence out of his readers.

Well done

Revisado: 10-14-20

As with any biography you must decide what the person's agenda is in writing it. Richards' agenda is an interest in the history of AIDS as well as the later years of Freddie Mercury. There is quite an extensive history on Queen, Freddie's personal life as well as AIDS. If you would have asked me if I would read a book about the history of AIDS I would have shied away from it, why would the history of any disease be interesting enough to read a book on it? However, Richards presented the facts in a fascinating way. I was shocked at some of the information I learned. I appreciated how these facts tied in with Freddie's life and others at the time of the epidemic. I would highly recommend this book.
