I didn’t that coming!

Revisado: 07-15-23

The headline applies to about a dozen parts of the book. Agatha Christie is still the best. I love stories set in this time period. Even the criminals have perfect manners.

If you love vintage mystery you have to listen to this!

Revisado: 06-23-23

The mystery itself is brilliant. The setting and period dialogue are wonderful. I never would have figured out the crime on my own, and the ending is the best of all the mysteries I have ever read or listened to. The narrator is excellent, which makes the production all the more enjoyable. I enjoyed it so much I listened twice.

Food for the history buff

Revisado: 10-13-22

It almost feels like a waste of time to add to the thousands of four and five star reviews, but I enjoyed it so much that I had to add a review. I have sat in the parking garage at my office, and the parking lots at the gym and the grocery store because I didn’t want to turn it off. The only reason I wasn’t sad to reach the end is because there are so many other books by the same author. I have already downloaded the Winter King.

An excellent adventure – as good as all the other Clive Cussler books

Revisado: 09-21-22

I think I have either read, or listened to all the Clive Cussler books, including the nonfiction. This is easily as good as the ones he wrote himself. The continuity of characters, and the nature of the adventures, mirrors his own works. Scott Brick does his always outstanding job with the characters and dialects. I eagerly await the next book.

A list of problems, no solutions

Revisado: 03-10-22

Based on his interview with Tucker Carlson, I was expecting a discussion of the problems that have come from tech saturation, and then a discussion of potential solutions. What I got was a list of social ills, global warming, and support for unionization. Not what I wanted or expected.

Written by a Trump hating Obama worshiper

Revisado: 04-14-21

I sensed early on that this would be an anti-Trump book, but it got much worse as the book went on. By chapter nine I couldn't listen anymore. It contains stories about Trump that have been disproven, and fawns over Obama to the point of being sickening.

Much of the book is very interesting and entertaining, but the over-the-top bias finally did it in for me. I was hoping to return it, but apparently it isn't eligible.

A must read/listen for people who truly love our country

Revisado: 12-13-19

This book is a rare chance to hear from some of the nation’s most gifted historians speaking on some of its most important citizens, leaders and issues.

I sincerely hope there is a volume two in the near future.

No relevance for me...

Revisado: 09-13-19

I was looking for a book that would help me start conversations with people I don't know - something I am very uncomfortable doing. This book started with promise, but every example seems to be from New York, and often on a subway. Many of the examples were the author's encounters with people she met on the streets in New York that might have initially been preceived as a threat to her safety. None of that applies to my situation, or to the reason I bought the book. Then she told me I was (actually all of us are) the product of institutional racism and white privelege, That did it for me. I would have returned the book, but that option wasn't offered.

Classic Cussler

Revisado: 11-21-18

I have loved every Clive Cussler book. The good guys always win, and the bad guys always die. Very clear cut. I also love the ocean settings. Great for escaping an airplane seat or a crowded gym. Scott Brick is one of the best narrators ever.

Mr. Flynn would be proud of this one.

Revisado: 11-03-16

If you could sum up Order to Kill in three words, what would they be?
Exciting, timely, satisfying

What was one of the most memorable moments of Order to Kill?
When Mitch threw the corrupt foreign military officer out of the helicopter in flight.

What does George Guidall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The drama and personality of the characters. Any book Mr. Guidall narrates is better for having him.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The respect Mitch showed to the woman given to him in the Iraqi village.

Any additional comments?
It may seem corny, but I like the Mitch Rapp books because the good guys always win, and the bad guys always die.
