excellent story !

as with most military audible books, some of the terminology is mispronounced but that can be overlooked.

A very good listen

Revisado: 12-05-12

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, the whole series is done very well and the characters are described in great detail, you really get to know them

Who was your favorite character and why?

Hamich, as he is hard and rough on the exterior but has a soft spot inside and can take it when it's dished out to him.

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

none othr than the first hunger games, similar

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

The meeting in her room with president Snow.....she should have ripped his throat out right then and there

Reading a book......poorly

Revisado: 10-31-12

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

The story was okay, I listened to the end

What was one of the most memorable moments of Holding Their Own: A Story of Survival?

The show down with the group from Ohio

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of D. Allen?

Almost anyone, however Mr. Allen's voice is good so keep working on the presentation

Could you see Holding Their Own: A Story of Survival being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

I could see the premise being a movie/series as we have some similar shows out there already

Any additional comments?

Mr. Allen, Work on performing not just reading, don't read lines twice and keep your recording volume consistent, also I don't think that you needed to repeat the book title at every chapter change

What disappointed you about Founders?

This was a book that seemingly used more repetitive story lines (line by line and word for word) from Patriots and Survivors than its own new material, The reading performance was okay if you overlook the mispronouncing of the words.
This was in my opinion a terrible job by Mr. Rawles
Even if this is a stand alone book, the author has to realize that it is going to be read (or listened to) by readers (or listeners) of his previous books.

Would you ever listen to anything by James Wesley, Rawles again?

Yes, but I won't after that if it is as poorly done as this book is

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Phil Gigante?

I would have stuck with Dick Hill, although his voice is a little annoying, he seems to mispronounce fewer words and I guess I just got used to him on the first three titles I listened to.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Founders?

I would have removed almost the entire narrative of the Leyton's as they nearly told their entire story during the debriefing at Todd Grey's house in Patriots.
I would lessen the descriptions of items...no one cares about this frequency or that frequency on a radio transmitter or model numbers for certain pieces of gear.
Nor do we need the street directions through TelAviv Israel that takes us to the beach??

Any additional comments?

I believe this to be an attempt by Mr. Rawles to get out another book out in a hurry, it's sad too, I liked the his first two books on this story line.

Come on....It's Treasure Island and its unabridged

Revisado: 04-30-12

Would you listen to Treasure Island again? Why?

I have already and will listen to Treasure Island again, multiple times it is the type of story that I do not grow tired of.

What other book might you compare Treasure Island to and why?

Pick a classic, any classic, But as far as sea tales go it is on it's own.

What does Dick Hill bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I actually chose this particular version over others because Dick Hill was the performer, I have listened to him in several other books and really enjoy his style.

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

It is a good listen, not an emotional book however

Any additional comments?

Keep up the good work!

Is it a story or a how to book..........you decide

Revisado: 12-26-11

Would you listen to Patriots again? Why?

Definitely I already have

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I don't know about the edge of my seat, but it was a very good listen.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

It was adequate, thats about it

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

No

Any additional comments?

This is a good piece of fiction based upon reality. It needs to be heeded and acted upon to insure it does not actually happen.

Maybe a bit too much detail in some areas.

Atlas Shrugged...what else is there to say?

Revisado: 12-26-11

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, One of the best books out there, I would actually recommend it in the audio format.
It is an eye opener that parallels current society but was written 50+ years ago........I guess some things never change.

What other book might you compare Atlas Shrugged to and why?

None really compare that I have read

What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?

Nothing stands out, but it has been several months since I listened to it the last time.

If you could take any character from Atlas Shrugged out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Why John Galt of course, just to talk about it all

Any additional comments?

This book starts a bit slow which I believe makes it hard to read in the printed version..................long live Audible.

Welcome to WROL...........God save us

Revisado: 12-26-11

Would you consider the audio edition of One Second After to be better than the print version?

I have not read the printed version therefore I can not compare the two, however it is much easier for me to listen to a book than to take the time to sit down and read it.

What was one of the most memorable moments of One Second After?

The death of the main character's 12 year old daughter due to complications from diabetes was very hard to listen to being that I am a father.

Which character – as performed by Joe Barrett – was your favorite?

None really stand out above the others, all were done very well, the characteizations transformed the reading into a theater of the mind.

WELL DONE Mr. Barrett !

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes, but please do not ruin it through trying to have an abridged copy

Any additional comments?

This is a fantastic book although the subject matter is disturbing, hopefully it will open up peoples eyes to the possibilities of what could happen to a society that is too reliant upon technology and that has gotten away from the basics.
