Plagiarism?

Revisado: 03-16-21

I read the Grapes of Wrath.... dying baby and flood.

Could have been way better - weak characters, a bit cheesy and the political last third of the book was really pathetic.

Okay

Revisado: 07-24-20

Author epilogue was okay until she accused people in the Trump administration of flying swastikas. Ridiculous- who?

Readers voice was awful and the story was pretty dull.

Weak for Miller

Revisado: 02-10-17

Pretty pointless story. Not moving or interesting and rather shot through with loose ends. Kept waiting for something to happen.

This is a very bad book - Harlequin Romance

Revisado: 01-06-12

There is no way to say how bad this book is - just awful! No history and completely anachronistic characters. I was tricked by the good reviews - one has to cross reference the good reviewers to see what other books those people liked. The narration is really bad too - hyper dramatic. Yuck.

I have read two of his other books which were quite dissimilar and very good - Skeletons at the Feast and Midwives. This book was many steps down in every way - plot lines that went nowhere, flimsy charactors. I am not even done quite yet, and I will finish, but I can't even believe it was written by the same guy. His publishers must have been hounding him to finish something. The homeless angle was lame.

Outstanding.

I was a child when this book took place and knew nothing about Vietnam. This book taught me a lot of things that all Americans need to understand about Vietnam and the kids who fought there. As a parent now I realize what a sacrifice it is for people who send their children to war - even wars that seem to have an honorable purpose. War, even the "good" ones will always devolve into madness and futility. This is a must read for anyone interested in Vietnam. The narration was one of the best I have heard - multiple characters in recognizable voices.

outstanding

This book amazed me; it read like fiction. An excellent source of information on the start of the NAACP and a riveting personal story. Very well narrated.

horrible narration!!!!

Revisado: 08-21-09

I too wish I had read the reviews but I had so anticipated this book by this author that I foolishly rushed in! The narrator is awful leading me to wonder if she has read Gliead and if she understood the spiritual nature of this book. It must be re-recorded - I will now have to re-read in paper form. The worst recording ever!!!
