Strangely uninvolving

Revisado: 12-20-23

Lucas seemed to be going through the motions at times and, instead of going along with the story, the reader/listener is merely an observer. Not the best but still fun.

Well written, lots of interesting detail. Good narrative style. An excellent example of day to day front line life in the ETO.

I got this on the daily sale and it turned out to be a treat. Compelling story, good narration, with enough plot twists to keep you interested. Recommend!

Great overview of the last months

Revisado: 10-02-21

Kershaw has written extensively about Hitler and the Third Reich. This excellent book breaks down the final months as the situation became more dire for the Germans as the Russians press from the East and the Allies from the West. Kershaw gives us a wide variety of villains, liars, syncopates, cowards who surrounded Hitler and his minions. Great amounts of detail and anecdotes to illustrate the fall. Highly recommended!

An important look at USMA and the men it produced.

Revisado: 07-31-21

This is an excellent book by historian Rick Atkinson. It is not in the same vein as his superb 3 volume study of the US Army in Africa and Europe during WW2; it is a personal account of young men becoming warriors. A minor flaw - "Honky Tonk Women" came out in 1969, not in 1964. Of course, Atkinson could be referring to another song..

Anyway, a fine book.

Dated, sexist, cardboard characters, predicable.

Revisado: 06-15-21

This is ancient historical fluff. Annoying fluff at that. Glad it was a freebee as I have hated to go through the hassle of returning it. Listening, just wanted it to end. I stayed with it as I am interested in the Civil War but this surely is NOT The Killer Angels - more like The Insipid Dummies.

A slow start but stick with it-it gets better!

Nice details about a soldier's life in tge Union army. The part about Wade Hampton was a bit stretched. Narration was satisfactory

Funny, touching, moving. Did I mention funny?

Revisado: 12-16-20

Samantha Allen writes of her life, going from a confused, closeted young Mormon boy to transitioning into a woman. Rarely does this type of story, from the initial feelings of other to the culmination of her True Self been so clearly expressed. Her narration is spot on and the story is compelling.

Interesting story marred by terrible performance

Revisado: 05-11-19

While the story is interesting, the reading is atrocious. The reader has the most annoying cadence; his intonation patterns, the constant rising mid-sentence stress got so bad I had to quit the book.

Fine book, Welliver is a great Harry Bosch

Revisado: 11-07-18

Excellent in all aspects BUT no chapter bteaks. Just one long chapter in terms of how it was recorded. But still a fine listen.
