Three adventurous teenagers, yearning for manhood. Two mysterious disappearances. One Mississippi farm at the center of it all. When he’s not busy trying to win over the girl of his dreams, Case Reynolds fishes, camps, and races three-wheelers on a local farm with his best friends, the carefree Jack Masterson and brilliant Jet Townsend. But Case’s life changes forever when he finds the murdered remains of a local drifter in a barn, the beloved farm comes up for sale, and Jack’s abusive stepfather, Stone, disappears without a trace.

Growing up in the south during this era, this book was like a trip back home. The love for the family farm, lifetime friendships and the character’s struggles to be true to their values and each other. It drew me in from the beginning. I can’t wait to read the next book!

The First World War is one of history’s greatest tragedies. In this remarkable and intimate account, author G. J. Meyer draws on exhaustive research to bring to life the story of how the Great War reduced Europe’s mightiest empires to rubble, killed 20 million people, and cracked the foundations of the world we live in today. World War I is unique in the number of questions about it that remain unsettled. After more than 90 years, scholars remain divided on these questions, and it seems likely that they always will.

Excellent Overview
Revisado: 08-29-13
The author accomplished what he set out to do: give a comprehensive overview of the Great War with enough background pieces to set things in context. In this audio version, I didn't feel limited by the lack of maps or photographs. The narrative was well-written enough to give me a sense of where the English were versus the French troops during particular campaigns, whether Ludendorff was in the Northern verses the Southern theatres on the Russian front, etc.
The chronological approach to the conflict itself, interspersed with relevant background pieces, worked very well. There are more detailed books to be sure, but I would recommend this book not only to those who want a one volume history of the war, but to those who have a number of other books on the subject, including those by Tuchman and Keegan.
The narration was excellent. I realize this is a subjective area, but I've listened to a lot of audio books (more than 280 from Audible) and I would rank Robin Sachs with some of the best I've listened to (both non-fiction and fiction). With some readers, I find my attention wanders and I have to "rewind" from time to time to get back on track with the narrative. That didn't happen with Sachs.

Ken Follett's World Without End was a global phenomenon, a work of grand historical sweep beloved by millions of readers and acclaimed by critics. Fall of Giants is his magnificent new historical epic. The first novel in The Century Trilogy, it follows the fates of five interrelated families - American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh - as they move through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.

Wonderful
Revisado: 10-31-10
I enjoyed every minute of this book - the characters were engaging, the storyline compelling, the history was a reminder of how the 20th century began in war and how nationalism ultimately led to yet another war. I was moved by several moments, but especially the scene in the Welsh mining town following the battle of the Somme. The narration was flawless and my only regret was when it came to an end.
