Slow but steady

Revisado: 05-13-17

What did you love best about Since We Fell?

This was a great listen. It was not a fast moving thriller, but more of a slow burn. The characters are well developed and belivable.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Since We Fell?

I dont want to give anything away.

What does Julia Whelan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

she brought Rachael to life in my mind

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes, but it took three

Any additional comments?

I live in Quincy, Ma so the locations are all familiar. Mr. Lehane does such a great job developing characters and getting his locations accurate. Because of this, I was surprised to hear the referral of a S.C.U.B.A tank to an oxygen bottle. This mistake was made multiple times and maybe bothers me more because I was an avid diver.

Provocative

Revisado: 01-12-13

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, its a one of a kind book that should be listened to by everyone.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Silke, Mugumi and Toe masss. They all brought human elements to the story that are rarely discussed or thought about but bleneded together very well.

What about Stephen Bowlby’s performance did you like?

Sometimes he nailed the Japanese/American accent (sometimes not)

If you could take any character from Hikikomori and the Rental Sister out to dinner, who would it be and why?

That would have to be Silke, I would love to understand her more.

Any additional comments?

This is not an action packed thriller, its a book that you need to listen to closely, with plenty of time to contemplate its meaning. Dont let that scare you, If i had heard someone say that about a book I may not have picked it up, but this is a one of a kind book that really grabbed me and you should not miss it.

Very Moving

Revisado: 06-02-05

In my opinion this is an award winner. It is a heroic story, well written and very moving. This book made me think of the sacrafices being made every day by the young people of todays Military. Its a tear jerker and easly becomes a movie in your mind when listening to it. If you download this, put some time away for yourself because you wont be able to stop listening.

Very Authentic

Revisado: 05-04-03

I listened to this book after spending three weeks in Vietnam on vacation. I felt as if I were back on Vacation. The description of the country was fantastic. For anybody who wants to know what modern Vietnam is like, pick up this audiobook.
