what to day about this one?

Revisado: 11-11-24

The author writes very well and there were times I laughed out loud. But it is so overly long - what ever happened to editors? Plus, for me, it was more than a little anti-semetic. There isn't a single good person in the whole book and lots of tropes like nose jobs and fixation on money. Mr. Ballerini is a terrific narrator

A story long overdue

I enjoyed this book and the topic, praising the amazing women who serve, is very important and moving. However, this book pushes the boundaries between literature and romance novel. Too many romance cliches in tone, plot and character development. Still glad I listened.

I lived this but if you need a plot it's not for you

this is a lovely story, beautifully written in a very straightforward style. Not much happens in the standard plot driven way but lots happen for the two main characters

A great mix of history and fiction

I really loved this book and appreciate the author being very upfront about having done a lot of research but making the story his own. Theodore Roosevelt was a huge gift to the nation and it is a great pity that he was not well enough to have a second term. Honorably, stood down - country first. Great time to be reading this.

We are supposed to be on the side of a protagonist who thinks violence and control is the answer to everything. Plus, the story is unbelievable.

This went nowhere very slowly

I will listen to anything that Simon Vance has done. I think he is one of the best and this is no exception. But the story is very weak. There is little character development and what there is is simplistic and stereotypic. And, sadly, the plot is extremely weak. I did hang in there until the end and was left with that "what, that's it!" feeling. Even for the fabulous Mr. Vance, skip this one.

It goes on forever

Revisado: 10-13-23

A terrific story idea, but, yikes, not worth 23 plus hours. I am a plot junky so finished it but feel let down now that it is done. Huge build up to not much of an ending. The narration is very good.

Maybe if I had read it.

The older woman shrieked, ALL THE TIME. The young woman whined, ALL THE TIME. I just couldn't do it.

Seriously, you must be joking

Just horrible. As others have said, the characters are thin, the plot is overwrought, and the whole thing goes on too long. Nicola Walker is just fabulous, of course.

Not for me

This was not a horrible book, it was just a little dumb and totally predictable. The narrater did a fine job but she couldn't save this unblievable plot.
