Grisham continues to deliver

Revisado: 08-20-22

secrets! secrets for days. I couldn't put it down. JG doesn't disappoint. I'm a fan of WW2 era books I got this recommendation from another reader who enjoys the same genre.


This book does touch on the war a little bit, but it's so much more than that. only a small portion is dedicated to a theater of combat and the rest centers around the fallout of an entire family due to circumstances beyond anyone's control. The men and women who die in a war are not the only people who lose their lives.

good narrator, but that's it

Revisado: 05-15-22

I made it about an hour in. Can't believe that this has so many good reviews. This dude is full of shit, plain and simple. It would be an interesting story if he'd just tell the truth. it's not like his life was boring without him having to embellish. This dude just can't help himself and he is such a narcissist. He's smarter than everyone, he's done more than everyone, he's killed more people and blah blah blah. The lies are just so outlandish.

it's all self serving bullshit, I'm surprised anyone was willing to print such drivel.

great job by the narrator though, really top notch delivery. I'd listen to the narrator again.

always been a huge fan of WW2 era books. while this is fiction, it relies heavily on the history of the world at that time and it blends it all together nicely.

excellent narrator

Revisado: 03-16-22

I enjoyed the book. it got a bit hard to follow sometimes due to the authors writing style. He doesn't set thins up very well when transitioning from one period to the next. It doesn't follow an exact linear path and there isn't any serious character building or story arc (intro, buildup, climax, outro).

still a good book and well worth the time for those who enjoy military memoirs. I'll reiterate, the narrator is fantastic. I wish he narrated every book I listen to.

major step up from the first book in series. the narrator is more polished and the story is so perfectly layered.

it took a while to get Into it, and the author dragged things out just a little bit, but overall I enjoyed it. plenty of humor and some action to go along with the suspense and the mystery of it all.

horrible narrator. shouldn't be highly rated.

Revisado: 11-04-21

I'll start by saying that it's a very compelling story. lots of insight into what really happened and why.

the author doesn't do a very good job of building the characters into something that the reader can remember as they move thru the story. I would constantly get mixed up by all the names as the story sped right along. after a lot of rewinding and jotting some names down on paper, I was eventually able to get back on track. It also seems to follow the thoughts and actions of some guys more than others, but I'm not sure why. we start off with Jack being described in great detail and it makes it seem as if he's gonna be a main character. as I neared the end of the book I realized that Jack had played a very small part overall, and it confused me that the author had gone thru the trouble of painting Jack's character more vividly than others.



also, the narrator is garbage. hands down the worst I've ever heard. he isn't able to use different tones of voice to reflect the character dialogue, and he he just seems to drone right through his sentences. I couldn't believe that the narrator was the author. I'd never expect an author to so badly butcher his own work, there's absolutely zero effort put into the narration.

wish I hadn't bought this.

nothing short of awesome

loved it. it took a few hours to REALLY get going but it was well worth it. the narrator shows amazing ability to mimic several different accents from several cultures. this is one of those you come back to multiple times over the years.

great narrator.

I wish all of the war books were this well read. there are so many books on audible that I know would be so good, but the narrators are so bad that it's not palatable.

wish this guy could narrate them all.
