Indulgent writing

Revisado: 04-25-25

I read this based on a poll that said it was unforgettable. The plot took forever and the narration sounds like endless pleading for clarity of “what is happening to her.” It felt tedious.

Fascinating

Revisado: 03-15-25

Truth is stranger than fiction. Author did a fabulous job researching this eccentric family who should have been a well known name in history. Captivating - held my attention entirely.

Riveting and real

Revisado: 03-05-25

Tracy’s story reveals so much about the reality of government work and counterterrorism. The bungling behind the scenes decisions that could more often than not have been avoided if there were more diligent, intelligent, less egocentric & glory seeking people like her recruited. The FBI sounds like they get the LCD- amazed that she was able to withstand it that long. Thank you for writing this and dispelling the belief that these organizations prefer a certain type. As a woman veteran officer, I echo Tracy’s revolution to inspire more women to seek service and blaze paths. Hers is a much needed voice in today’s world. I only wish she was in Colorado to teach my 3 daughters.

Far short of expectations.

Revisado: 10-20-23

This book could have been so much more. Instead, he just regurgitates facts about an athlete that overcame obstacles. Painful. Don’t pick up if you’re looking for insight into competitive athletes.

Clever short story

Revisado: 10-20-23

Nice to hear a woman’s perspective in the military. This was a quick listen but still hit some bigger issues about military life. Applause that it kept me interested.

Don’t waste your credit

Revisado: 06-08-23

I generally like these lightweight military type action books but the war crimes lawyer character was an old stereotype and completely ridiculous. Instead of figuring out a better story narrative, the author uses this unrealistic character to drive everything. It’s impossible to get lost in a story when the main character saves her life and she turns around and demands to risk their lives to save the men that tried to kill her. Unreal.

Heroic survivor that always spoke the truth

Revisado: 06-06-23

Wow. I’m sad that it has taken so long for Piechowski’s account to come to my attention. His heroism is unquestionable but it’s how the world receives him and his unpolished account and opinions that is most profound. Don’t listen to the naysayers- it’s a story of despair and rage at people who don’t like things perfectly neat and tidy. In other words, most human beings.

Slow to start, more depth near the end

Revisado: 04-25-23

I expected to be pulled right into the story but it was difficult to really like any of the characters for a long time. Felt the “outsider” character’s reaction was not genuine—no true anger at her spouse for allowing his family to call her names and not stand up for her when she’s pregnant!? Ugh, doormat. Expected more
