Unremarkable, okay story

Revisado: 12-16-24

Just an okay story, not bad but not very memorable. I got on sale and do think I got my $5 worth of entertainment

So bad, so so bad.

Revisado: 07-20-24

The main character was an unlikable, immature brat without any of the character development promised in the summary.

Not sure what book the others were reviewing…

Revisado: 11-26-23

Yet another example why an author should not narrate their own book. Both the narration and story were completely unlistenable and I returned the book within 3 chapters. Save your credit and/or your time and find another book.

No Thanks

Revisado: 06-16-20

I couldn’t get past the first half hour, it seems more than rambling thoughts versus an actual book and yet another example as to why authors shouldn’t narrate their own books. Yikes.

ALL The CLICHES

Revisado: 06-18-18

I feel like this book is the result of the author striving to see if she can include every possible Chick Lit cliche into one plot. Spoiler alert: she does.

Meh

Revisado: 02-19-18

This was one of those rare books where I realized halfway through that I did not care to find out how it ended.

Not what I expected...

Revisado: 07-09-15

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointed with the author's attitude about so many people, he referred to Individuals who drive RVs, Tourists, Individuals who drive Mini Vans, Mormons, Cops as "morons or idiots".

Any additional comments?

I was expecting the focus of this book about an authentic crossing of the Oregon trail, however - with the exception of his actual path, not much seemed to be authentic, he brought many creature comforts, had access to a truck, cell phone, and other modern conveniences.

Certainly isn't Unbroken

Revisado: 12-08-14

Would you try another book from Daniel James Brown and/or Edward Herrmann?

Love Edward Herrmann as a narrator

Was The Boys in the Boat worth the listening time?

It was good, but not GREAT - I'm sure it was reccommended because I LOVED Unbroken which had similar themes, 1936 Olympics, WWII, etc - but not nearly as amazing as Unbroken was.

Worth a Listen - Not as Good as First 2

Revisado: 10-02-14

Is there anything you would change about this book?

More creative story surrounding the beginning of Plum Nelly band story line, seemed to mirror the true story of the beginning of the Beatles too much.

If you’ve listened to books by Ken Follett before, how does this one compare?

This was my least favorite of any book by Ken Follet. I much perfer the Pillar of the Earth series.

Did John Lee do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Average, really disliked the voice he used for Jackie Jakes, wasn't enough different from the voice for George Jakes, make listening to their dialog difficult.
