Riveting!

Revisado: 03-14-24

The ecellent narration, first person accounts, and detailed imagery has you holding onto every word, as you imagine each moment of what took place during this entire dangerous rescue. I was completely enthralled and inspired.

This book is better read, than listened to.

Revisado: 10-01-23

The story and plot line were pretty good. I was really surprised by the ending. I think the prologue was unnecessary, and would be better included in a full novel (which I would love to read)!
The narration, however, was terrible. It honestly sounded like an automated voice recording. I regret that I didn't read the reviews first. I first heard the first chapter read as a preview while listening to another audio book. That narrator did such an excellent job that I listened to it three separate times. I was disappointed that he didn't do the full book. I ended up purchasing the book and reading it. The book was so much better that way.
I purchased this audio book for $4.99 and this is an honest review.

You are golden. Don't give up!

Revisado: 06-18-23

A fascinating account of the true survival story about an 11 year old boy who survives a plane crash, keeps a cool head, and perseveres in finding his way to help. If you find survival stories as awe inspiring as I do, you'll like this one. As a matter of fact, you'll like this entire series: Deadly Disasters by Wondrey.

A Little Dry

Revisado: 11-21-22

This is basically a comprehensive record of the incidents involving the two ships, those actions of those aboard, the actions of the Coast Gaurd to rescue them, and any other information directly with this incident. It's investigative information interspersed with comments from interviews; followed by the details of the aftermath, lawsuits, and regulatory changes. It's a great book for what it is, but don't expect the high excitement and adrenaline of novels like "The Perfect Storm" or podcasts such as Wondery's- ''Against The Odds'.
The narrator is articulate and perfunctory. He starts out a little dry and robotic, but eventually picks up the nuances of character changes and emotions. I would like to listen to another book narrated by him, to get a more rounded opinion. Not as likely to look for another book by this author though.

A Slow Start

Revisado: 11-19-22

This book begins with many seemingly irrelevant details, that are working to establish a context and setting for the story. I don't think all of it was necessary to this particular story, but were interesting to the author and so were included. Hang in there though, and when he gets into the second part, you'll be riveted to your seat and headphones, unable to multitask or go to sleep; it's just that good. This is one that I'll likely listen to again and again to pick up each detail I may have missed, and feel the emotions of each distinct character as they play out and are remembered.

Worse Than An Instruction Manuel

Revisado: 11-07-22

The content of this book lacked anything that perpetuated any interest or intrigue. The story of this missing flight, and the conjecture around it, is and should be fascinating enough without enhancing. However, the author manages to dry it out and strangle it with a discombobulated list of factual details amidst a great deal of insignificant information, with footnotes every other sentence. It also quickly lost any cohesive flow. It was like listening to someone read an instruction manuel in which all the pages had been mixed up. Such a waste of time and money. Not recommended.

A Fun Listen!

Revisado: 07-18-22

This book was a fun throw back to the mobster days and speech of the thirties. It incorporated both past and present; blended well in a light mystery, with well developed 'Andy Griffith' characters, set in a small contemporary (if nostalgic) book store in a little town. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It was a nice change of pace from James Patterson and the heavy drama I'd been reading.

Pulls you in right away!

Revisado: 03-25-22

Fast paced and intriguing, you'll be listening hour by hour, waiting to see who is behind the insidious plot. This book definitely has some surprises along the way. The characters are well developed, making you feel connected. When the book is over, you'll want more of them. I'm looking forward to the next book in the serious.
The narrator has a lovely reading voice, but her male character voices are much too forced. Not bad overall though.

Tragic and Sad

Revisado: 01-14-22

A vivid and detailed accounting of that day, through the eyes of several people who survived and witnessed it, and about those who died in it.
