Fascinating account of history

Revisado: 11-30-22

One of the most well-know but barely understood events of the past century. Countdown 1945 is an amazing detailed account of the Manhattan Project and the decisions leading up to using the atomic bomb to end WW II. The inside stories of those involved and the climate of the time is so well captured and presented. I have a new appreciation for Harry Truman and the scientists involved in this history changing period.

Setterfield is becoming one of my favorite authors

Another great book of Storytelling! Wonderful plot, descriptions and rich characters. Performances were excellent and greatly helped in understanding the dual narrative of an audiobook. I can’t wait to read my next book by her!

Timely, relevant and thought provoking for our time!

Revisado: 02-06-20

Scott Pelley’s finely researched book of the meaning behind the major stories of our lives is totally engrossing. Although completely non-fiction it reads almost like a great novel! The terms “you can’t make this stuff up” and “truth is stranger than fiction” completely apply to the stories he covers and the relevance of each of these in history.
The chapter and details of President Clinton’s impeachment are so eerily parallel to Trumps Impeachment which just ended.
Pelley’s own voice which is so familiar to all of us makes this audio book exceptional. I learned so much from this book and completely enjoyed it!

A wonderful story narrative

Revisado: 01-15-20

I felt like the author and narrator were telling me an incredible story. This book was so enjoyable to listen to and Juliet Stevenson’s amazing narration made you feel as if each character was speaking. One of the best audible books I have listened to. Highly recommended!

My first listen by this author and performer and won’t be my last

I can’t believe I’ve never read any Karin Slaughter books before. I love this genre and had never been introduced to this author. The story was very topical to today’s national political narrative and was a compelling listen throughout. The characters were very real, well developed and believable. The story was gripping and although not for the faint of heart was emotional and heart wrenching.
I’m glad to see that Slaughter is such a prolific author and I will have lots of books to choose from in the future.
The narration was top notch by Kathleen Early making the audio book easy to follow the many characters and capturing the emotions extremely well. Would definitely look for more books read by her in the future!

Tense and gripping but....

Revisado: 04-25-19

I was expecting more surprises and twists. The story was well constructed and well told but became somewhat unbelievable at times. I think I’m over this genre of psychotic murderers ie. You, Hidden Bodies etc getting away with murders with law enforcement clueless!

Enjoyed this well written book

Revisado: 03-26-19

I bought this book, unsure of what to expect. I thought it had potential and I wasn’t disappointed. The writing style was witty and insightful. The characters portrayed were relatable to many people we encounter in life. The tales of “property” were well tied together and formed a cohesive narrative. My only complaint was that the chapter separations of the novella were confusing and not announced. The narration by the author was spot on but her different voices for characters was sometimes confusing. I enjoyed this audible book and would read or listen to this author again.

An important lesson for all of us in a digital world

Revisado: 02-07-19

Not at all what I expected. A thoughtful “history” of the dangerous side of hacking from the perspective of those “white hats” hired to look for weaknesses in data security. It reveals how vulnerable we all are and how the black hats can take advantage of our gullibility and casualness to steal our data, identity and security. The story is told from the POV of a fascinating character, “Alien” an MIT student who got thrills in college breaking and entering into physical locations.
My first audio book and I really enjoyed it. Can’t wait to start my next audible book.
