Didn't really have a definite plot. Was boring except for the reading by Julia Whelan. She's always good.

Fantastic account of a remarkable group of guys. Loved the history of their struggles and endeavors.

Narrator for Monique spoke too slowly (I had to speed up the narration to 1.2) and her rhythm was erratic instead of smooth. I really did not enjoy her way of talking at all - it really spoiled a lot of the book. It's a shame Julia Whelan wasn't one of the major narrators. She is far superior.
The book was too long. It really dragged and seemed repetitive in quite a few places. There wasn't any interesting conflict that would help to move the story or keep the interest of the listener. It seemed that the same thing was happening over and over.
I've enjoyed other books by this author, but I really wouldn't recommend this one. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't good either.

Too much background info - not particularly interesting, and way too long. However, the real issue was the narrator. She could read the words on the page, but her manner of speaking was too "caricature" - to me a "phony" type of reading - almost the way you would read to a child, not an adult. The narrator makes or breaks a book. This narrator definitely cracked it quite a bit. I'm sure there are people who enjoyed the narration, but I will never buy another book with her as the narrator.

Loved the format of the letters. The narrators, especially Julia Whalen were wonderful. I love this writer!!!

The story was dragged out and really had no point to the plot. I purchased it because of the narrator - Julia Whelan - but I will never purchase another book by this author.

The story drags on and on. Female narrator's voice is not very expressive and becomes annoying after a while. She reads well, but does not convey the message. Her southern accent leaves much to be desired. Male voice is pretty good. Mostly, the story just drags, and the narrators cannot make up for a poor story line/plot. Definitely not one of Sparks better efforts.

As some of the other readers already said, the book moved very slowly. I felt like deleting it from my phone quite a few times, but I stuck it out. The last section was the only decent part. The narrator didn't really help the story. She read too slowly, so I adjusted the speed to 1.2. That helped. The narrator just didn't help to make the story interesting. She wasn't awful, but she definitely wasn't good. Narrators can make or break the book. I would like to listen to her read something else and then decide. I won't buy a book if I don't like the narrator, even if I love the author.

Graham Halstead cannot tell a story. I bought this book because of Julia Whelan - she's an incredible narrator. As of chapter 3, she was still not narrating and since the story line was not interesting, I gave up. I will not purchase another book by this author or Graham Halstead.

Narrator reads in a very choppy manner. It is distracting and takes away from the story. She also mis-pronounces several words, one of which was Nissan. Story drags - several times I thought the book was almost finished and it wasn't.
Just wasn't for me. I'm sure there are plenty of readers who enjoyed the book, but for me, the narrator makes or breaks the story.
