If you have any interest in early man space flight, this is a must selection...

David Rintoul's reading gave life to Stephen Walker's riveting story. Probably one of the best of the 150+ books I've listened to on Audible. Awesome. I highly recommend the selection.

surprisingly excellent

Revisado: 12-27-24

Abe's grand-daughter skillfully wove the family saga over the assassination home movie with the legal/government struggles and contemporary public/research issuses and opinions into a page-turning story. That Ms Zapruder narrated it herself gave it a genuine emotional quality to the family struggles over many years - the icing on the cake. Strongly recommend...

Both riveting and enlightening

Revisado: 02-25-24

Having started to watch "Mastrrs of the Air," I knew I had to get this selection. The reality of the CGI of the video is one thing, the close personal view of the real events told by Harry Crosby is quite another. From one full #10 bag to the next you got to know the rigors and terror of flying strategic B-17 missions over Western Europe and Germany well before any US forces ever put one boot on a beach in Normandy. The camaraderie and personalities against the profound losses was both intriguing and sorrowful. As a retired AF officer, these guys in my mind were the heros who made the Air Force what it is today...this is a great read...

if I'd only known how good this classic was,..

Revisado: 08-07-23

I can say that I successfully escaped having to read this work of Melville, never being in an American Lit course in high school or college that required it. I wore it as a badge of honor that I didn't have to muddle through what I was told was a dry and boring example of American Liturature in general. I cast it aside as I did those of Hawthorne, Steinbeck, Fitzgerald, Hemingway and many other of allke.....

And then on a whim I listened to this rendition..
I found that Melville was a true intellectual and knowledgable storyteller. His weaving tale in short and oft times divergent chapters was spell binding and this recording gave the story life....I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this classic. I only wish I hadn't avoided it for so long...

100 Hours well spent

This book and Winds of War are monunental works that sketch the pre-war and WWII years through the Henry family. It's detail and historical accuracy are amazing. They are a saga worth your time - you will not be disappointed...

Unfortunately it's true...

Revisado: 10-11-16

A well researched and well written book...Puts many myths to bed regarding this unfortunately scourge in American history (though numerous other Union and Confederate prison canes were not much better). It's not the fiction/partial non-fiction of Kanter's "Andersonville"...though the reality is no less engrossing.

I recommend this to Civil War history buffs...it will not disappoint...

A true classic comes to light...

Revisado: 10-03-16

50 years after my mother cried while reading this book, I finally listened and it was as rich and emotional as she described it. I have read numerous non-fictional accounts of the atrocities of Andersonville and had thought that no fiction could touch the realities of history....I was wrong...This book is a must read for any Civil War enthusiast who wishes deeper insight and emotion to the darker parts of that conflict...I was enthralled...

I actually liked the music track....

Revisado: 08-18-16

After all the critical reviews regarding the music track, I thought I too would be bothered. With the exception of a loud guitar rift, I thought the music increased the drama; it did not detract. I enjoyed Eli's narration -- a classic actor...I enjoyed the story and thought it was up to King's standard. I recommend it...

Det Ret III

Revisado: 07-27-16

I enjoyed this and the other 2 books in the Bill Hodges series. I found that all three started slow with sms character confusion, however, once they got moving they were exciting and entertaining. This book was more fantasy
than the others, but it reinforced the malevolence of the series antagonist. The character mix of Bill with Jerome and Holly was outstanding...

I recommend this book and the entire series to both detective tale lovers and King aficionados...worth your time...
