Same old thing

Over and over Morgan saves the day while almost being the victim herself. Ben is beside himself.

Highly enjoyable

Revisado: 02-20-24

A wonderful combination of history and storytelling by Jeff Shaara brought to life by the superb reading of Grover Gardner.

Waste of time and money

Absolutely pointless. Nothing but the first chapter oft patient zero. Not a prequel at all.

Great story, awful narration

Revisado: 02-24-23

I listen primarily to books on history. Within that category what I enjoy most are books on military history during the 20th century. Sadly with this book the flat, emotionless, almost monotone narration took a great story and made it painfully boring. Rather than getting immersed in the rich history of the titanic naval clashes in WW II, I found myself wondering when it would be over. After 14 hours I could go no further. In the hands of another narrator (Grover Gardner, Ray Porter…) this would have excellent.

Outstanding!

Revisado: 02-08-23

Excellent account of the critical role played by both Allied and German air forces that often doesn’t get the attention it deserves. From the overall strategic aims to the ongoing development of the equipment to the personal stories of the individuals involved, the Big Week hits on all levels. What was particularly impactful were the personal stories of the pilots involved and the gut wrenching decisions, sacrifices, and stresses they had to face at very young ages.

Finally, I can’t say enough about Grover Gardner’s narration. In my humble opinion he is outstanding. His presentation and pronunciation are clear, but more importantly his inflection and pacing are excellent and convey the feelings of the characters. In short he’s a storyteller, not a narrator.

Ridiculous narration

Revisado: 02-03-22

I've listened to other stories with the same narrator and I can always get past her stiff formal style. This time every single female voice sounds exactly the same, a sing song syrupy drunken voice. It's so bad it's insulting.

Excellent series but way too much teenage angst.

Revisado: 08-17-16

BS on the idea of right wing propaganda. It's one or two lines in a three book series. If you are that far left then I can't imagine what kind of movie or book would be inoffensive. It's not a part of the story. The idea that it's anti GOD is also BS. I guess those reviewers didn't listen long enough to realize the story line disputes the idea of science over the spiritual. Don't let those reviews stop you from enjoying a great series. My only issue was the teen angst. Way over the top; the main character's boy related angst and her issues snowballing because she is too introverted to talk to anybody to clear up any misunderstanding gets old. Still a good story. Too bad the never been kissed age level was the target audience.
