Amazing how badly the narrator mispronounced Dauphin Island

Revisado: 02-12-25

Narrator sucked. Couldn't tell when one story ended and another began. Should have used a professional editor.

The horrible narration by AI

Revisado: 11-02-24

A really bad book made worse by horrible AI narration. Save your time and don't bother. Soak your feet, rearanger sock drawer, clean out the refrigerator, or dig a hole for no reason. all of these things will be more enjoyable than listening to this book.

Boring Trump MAGAt Propaganda

Revisado: 02-14-24

Liked nothing. Save your money. It's drivel with a healthy dose of MAGA propaganda. The story has been told by a dozen other authors without the idolization of a Russian Agent.

Finished It At 150 Speed

Revisado: 05-15-22

It's obvious that the book was written by an English major because we're never allowed to forget it. It would probably be best to drop acid while listening to this book, likely same as the author did when he wrote it.

Changed sides and started rooting for the zombies!

Revisado: 03-19-22

Terrible characters. No real plot just lots of gore. The lead female character was as about unlikable as any I've ever encountered. Want a book with stupid questions and stupid dialogue, then this is the one for you.

Okay, but not great.

Revisado: 08-06-21

There are many other better books concerning 9/11. This book has a definite slant toward absolving the Bush administration and the Republican leadership for any blame in the failure to protect the nation prior to 9/11. Republicans in general come across as being the hero here and having lived it, it's simply not accurate.

Moreover, the most disappointing aspect of this book is that the first-hand accounts were so incredibly abbreviated. Some simply didn't need to be there and others seem to be left out.

Unbelievably great book!

Revisado: 07-08-21

Mark Childress is a genius writer in the same vein as southern greats, Faulkner, Capote, and O'Connor. This book is away ahead of its time when written and is as relevant today as any contemporary work out there. It's story telling at its best. Get the book!

Example of why an editor is essential to an author

Revisado: 01-03-21

The author obviously had a perfect score on the verbal section of his SATs. The book becomes more than a bit droll and tedious to listen to with his flowery dialogue. Do yourself a favor and skip this book and instead by an SAT vocabulary workbook. It contains all of the same material.

No! No! No! Just Hell No!

Revisado: 08-07-19

It would not let me give minus 5-stars. I've tried multiple times to listen to this book and I can't do it at any speed. In a word, it is TEDIUM!

Let me dry my eyes first.

Revisado: 03-18-19

We should all be so lucky to have a man like I've in our lives. Wonderful book, wonderful story, fantastic narration. I'd gladly give two credits for this book.
