Lots of Fun to Hear Faust

Revisado: 03-28-25

Of course the story is the best. The actors who play the parts are wonderful and really bring the story to life. I loved this.

Brava St Denis and Bruno

Revisado: 02-18-25

A lovely escape to St Denis, France, where the truffles are fat and the wine is great. Bruno the policeman is the umbrella of protection for this little town. He’s smart, kind and handsome (I think!).
Wonderfully written and well read.

Charming Detective solves crimes in the Perigord

Revisado: 02-04-25

The story moves at a steady pace—not too fast, not too slow. Of course one loves Bruno, who’s tall, kind, good looking and brilliant. It’s fun to read about mythical St Denis, where the action takes place. He goes the the markets and talks to people, solves crimes. I loved it and will listen to the next in the series

A Kind and Funny Read

Revisado: 06-15-24

Who couldn’t love Edward Durrel? He is a wonderful story-teller and writer, humorous and laugh-out loud funny, as he tells of collecting animals to start his own zoo. No wonder that the little boy from Corfu grew up to start a zoo and do much for animals.

Crisp and rich delivery of personalities,

Revisado: 06-06-24

Getting familiar with each of the characters is absolutely fascinating and sometimes magical. Of course one chapter per founding father is just enough to whet one’s appetite for more!
Delivery by the professor is excellent and he has well researched each man, down to some endearing or especially annoying qualities a few of them had. The fathers really came alive to me.

Gripping

Revisado: 09-29-23

The Alice Network was beautifully written and read. The story is fascinating to me, about women managing feats during WWI and WWll. Risking their lives, these girls gather information to be fed to help stop Germans.
I love how the story goes back and forth in one woman’s story, Eve. One gets to know her as a young, innocent woman and also after the wars and the horrific experiences that changed Eve so much. It is a tremendous story, gripping at times. And I imagine there are many such stories—real ones—similar to this one. Brava!

Great History Lesson in Rise and Fall of societies

Revisado: 08-23-23

Loves this informative book! Difficult to find these histories. I especially enjoyed the information on old Prussia. It’s difficult to find histories about Germany that don’t focus on the Third Reich! Fascinating reading or listening

Story Well Told

Revisado: 07-30-23

Wonderfully written accounts of several women’s experiences during WWll, while working at Bletchley Park in Great Britain. Fascinating insight into the secret workings in a romantic mansion in the countryside, and also into a women’s often untold but crucial to winning the war!
Characters are dimensional, easy writing style, great descriptions and very likely there are many true stories about ones similar to the characters in this.
Rose Code has whetted my appetite for more WWll stories!

Brilliant Compression of Lives into a Book

Revisado: 05-21-23

Never having heard of the Wendel family, I was stunned to learn about them, and how much power the family could have amassed had they not spent their energy back biting ea h other and bickering. And all the money dwindled…super story.
Some of the text sounded almost like AI. It bothered me. But the story is worth hearing!
