This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Only a small part of the listen was related to the amish murders. Want followed was two detailed accounts of horrifying torture and murder. I hope I don't have nightmares tonight. I finally did the adult thing and quit listening.

What could Gregg Olsen and Kevin Sullivan have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

They could have made the Amish schoolhouse murders. the focus of their book.

Would you be willing to try another one of Kevin Pierce’s performances?

yes

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

probably. I can't enumerate those at this time.

Any additional comments?

Your editors should have caught this.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

listeners with better brains!!

What do you think your next listen will be?

Particle physics for non-physicsists

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator is fine. Perhaps drawing obvious cues for the book's character changes?

What character would you cut from Going Home?

Perhaps one of Morgan's victims

Any additional comments?

My difficulty in following the plot arose from the contnual change of characters proviing their point of view without notifying the listener that a change is occurring.

I liked it; you might not

Would you try another book from Andrew Nagorski and/or Robert Fass?

yes
The book is very (almost nauseatingly) detailed. If you're not into trivia, avoid this.

What did you like best about this story?

the personal details of the main characters in the German journey, especially the Americans who were observers of "the rise and fall of the third reich." Much of it was not included in the Shirer book of that title.

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

no

Do you think Hitlerland needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

no. he came, conquered, and died. that's all. thankfully.

plot not linear

Would you try another book from Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle and/or L J Ganser?

At the end of the first download break, a character dies, who is unmentioned at the beginniing of audible's part 2. I listened to that first section several times and decided the plot was time traveling without me. too many holes in the plot line--I'm just not that smart. So many have remarked that htis was the best SF ever written. It had been too long since purchase to return it, but I was able to return, unlisted to, The Gripping Hand, a sequel.

Has The Mote in God's Eye turned you off from other books in this genre?

see above

Would you be willing to try another one of L J Ganser’s performances?

no--returned one I had purchased.
