Amazing, Intriguing and just Wow

Revisado: 04-15-23

This is truly one of the best books I’ve listened to in maybe ever. I have over a 1000 in my library and to say that is a lot.

Very informative

Revisado: 12-07-21

I think the review that said it was ego driven by the author was way of base. I never heard him inject himself into the story unless it was necessary to explain the circumstances. I know of nearly all of the cases in the book however there are details I didn’t know. Very well written, I recommend this book. I almost didn’t get it because of that bad review about ego, I am glad I didn’t listen to that review.

A wonderful peek into life on a remote island in Scotland

Revisado: 04-29-21

If you are curious about lifestyles of different cultures this is the book you won’t want to miss. It is a true story of a village of people living in a part of the world most will probably never see. It is so well written it’s easy to imagine you are right there, one of the residents of this charming place The book is written by a nurse that relocated to a place she always wanted to live. The island is so remote that there is no hospital and one doctor that comes in when needed, but the bulk of medical care falls to the nurse. You get to know very well the people that reside there. You are made to feel part of the community. Brilliantly written! It won’t disappoint IMHO!

What a crock of S__t

This is a waste of 2 hours I will never get back.
No prejudice here! I get more realistic information from the examiner. And you know that’s tabloid junk this is too.

Entertaining but more importantly this book is extremely informative!

Revisado: 01-25-20

I chose this book because of its setting and it turned out to be amazingly informative. It’s so much more than an interesting novel. In my opinion our educational system would be well served by offering this book to students as a way to glimpse into our social history in a very interesting way. Generally speaking history can be dry an not particularly interesting. This book is anything but dry and boring . I was fortunate to have purchased this read at a discount, however it would have been a bargain at any price. I highly recommend this book to just about anyone. If your preferred genre is fiction, history, or even nonfiction your time and money will be well spent.

Very informative, well worth your time and money

Revisado: 01-04-20

I really didn’t know what to expect from this book, but it was on sale so I took a shot. I am very glad I did. I didn’t expect anything more than an entertaining book. Boy was I in for a surprise! I walked away with an education. How the author managed to put so much information into such a short span of time while keeping it interesting is pure Genius.

This book will have you running the full spectrum of emotions!

Revisado: 08-03-19

I have listened to many Nelson DeMille books , this volume he knocked out of the park. Scott Brick breathes life into each of these carefully crafted characters . I must say this is my favorite by far , from both artists they are true masters of their craft. I caution you however, you will be laughing out loud and if you’re not careful (in the event you’re listening in public) you my be brought to tears. Have tissues at hand . Enjoy ❤️

Comit to this book and be rewarded for your time

Revisado: 05-19-19

This book requires your commitment but oh wow the reward in suspense, and thrill is in my opinion well worth the time investment. This would be a great listen for long commutes. You will be where your going before you know it.

Great peek into a culture other than my own!

Revisado: 05-08-19

Nearly everyone enjoys being a voyeur in one way or another. If it’s turning to see a car accident, or listening into a conversation of the couple seated at a table next to you. We get to listen in to a family drama by phone. What an original way to story tell. This has been fascinating. Sorry it was over way too soon.

A great book and a great cast

Revisado: 04-25-19

Wish it didn’t end.
Great book great stories. Easy to see why movies were made from them and why they are classics.
There is a new way to experience these stories thanks to BBC Radio (seriously does anyone make a listen come alive like the British?)
Listening allows a person to imagine the characters and scenes. I believe we have great imaginations and can spin a scene to fit our personal perspectives and not be bound to a movie directors vision.
