Good Story, awful Reader

Revisado: 04-13-13

What did you like best about Shadow Commander? What did you like least?

This is a very interesting Story, the life story of a courage's Man.Least: the constant mispronounced titles, place names, ie it should be Chu Lai, not Chu Lay.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Shadow Commander?

Blackburn's Homecoming and re-adjustment to Peace and Home.

How could the performance have been better?

A Reader who had familiarized himself with the proper/correct pronunciations of place >names and definitions, ie. the Army of South Vietnam was not pronounced A.R.V.N. but Arven, he spelled it every time.

Could you see Shadow Commander being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Harrison Ford

Any additional comments?

It's frustrating and discouraging to find a Book with a great story being butchered by the Reader. How about giving some Readers an Audition and have the script reviewed by someone who is familiar with the local flavor and lingo.

Line of Fire

Revisado: 02-11-13

Where does Line of Fire rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

right at the top. It is another good Book in Griffin's Corps series.

What other book might you compare Line of Fire to and why?

All of the Corps series show the dedication Marines have for each other and their well being, Griffin brings that out very well.

Have you listened to any of Dick Hill’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Dick Hill is an outstanding and very talented Performer, he is good in all of his readings.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Joe Howard's reaction at the Pearl Harbor Attack

Spymasters

Revisado: 08-16-12

What would have made The Spymasters better?

more of an in depth story focusing on the actual action

What was most disappointing about W.E.B. Griffin and William E. Butterworth IV ’s story?

to much time was spent on interpersonal mumbo jumbo which went nowhere.

Have you listened to any of Christopher Lane’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no, but he did an excellent Job, with the script he had to work with. Maybe he can redo all of the "Men in Blue" series, because Michael Russotto is a DISASTER.

Any additional comments?

I am original Griffin Fan, beginning with the Lieutenants, this book although long awaited, was slow on action. Nothing at all like all the other Griffin books.

great follow up to the first Saucer Book

Revisado: 07-12-12

Would you consider the audio edition of Saucer to be better than the print version?

yes, I can listen while driving ( working)

Who was your favorite character and why?

Uncle Egg, his down to earth folksie outlook on life, kind of mirrors mine.

Which character ??? as performed by Eric Conger ??? was your favorite?

Again Uncle Egg, the reader did an outstanding job

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

it made me laugh and root for "our" side against the arrogant- "we are better than you" attitude of the French. Very accurately presented

Any additional comments?

where is the follow up book

still Lost

Revisado: 06-28-12

This book wasn???t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I have no idea, but ask me again when it is remastered.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The story itself is very heart wrenching and interesting.

What didn???t you like about Mitchell Zuckoff???s performance?

I think he should have had a "Professional" reader take over, his voice just put me to sleep.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Sadness, you survive a War only to loose your life on an R&R trip.

Any additional comments?

Authors should leave the reading of their Books to "Professionals" , it would certainly increase sales and great enjoyment for the listeners ( Customers).

here we go again

Revisado: 04-01-12

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

another reader

What other book might you compare The Secret Warriors to and why?

any other Griffin Books that have Scott Brick or Hill as the readers, they are fantastic reader

How could the performance have been better?

use a better reader that does not put you to sleep

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

disappointment, that who ever is reading comments by Customers does not conduct an investigation and never ever let Mchael Russotto read another Griffin Book

big disappointment

Revisado: 01-22-11

I read the book before, but listing to this reader,at the slow speed he is reading put me to sleep. His pronunciation of the German is totally wrong. It's "Leibstandarte" meaning Hitler's Bodyguards, not "Liebstandarte" this has nothing to do with " Lieb- Love".
Scott Brick should have been chosen as the reader.
Can I get my money back?

Dirty White Boys

Revisado: 04-16-10

Seldom will you read a Book such as this, describing in detail the inner feelings of an Officer who has to face the perils of the the big ugly world outside. I enjoyed this Book tremendously.
