The Otherside… of American Heroes

Revisado: 07-29-22

I’m a huge supporter of our military and the sacrifices they make for our country. We wouldn’t be who we are as a country if it wasn’t for them!

I was disturbed by the show, ‘The Terminal List’ so? decided to listen to the book.

Awesome!

It is very self secure and a bit arrogant… ok.. A tad on the political ‘right’ over all. The ‘left’ looking bleary eyed and incompetent.

It’s challenging to listen to a book when the protagonist is a political party that the author obviously has an issue with.

That’s ok. It is a great book and I’m thankful that my mind is big enough to hear a book that supports the freedom of speech and writing.

I regret that this author goes out of his way to view democracy as only Republican. Very polarizing…. Fuel for uneducated…

Heroes protect their country… NOT polarize it..

Finally!!!

Revisado: 12-05-21

I’ve been waiting for JK’s brilliance to shine through in this series!

The sun shone brilliantly!

By far! The best book in the series. I wasn’t worn down with Strykes stump of a leg and a lagging love line with Robin.

The story line was brilliantly written as if I was in the room with all characters.

There was a few slow parts to the book but they were like soft ambient paint strokes to fill in the colors of a very fantastic detective novel!

Oh!?! I know.. I was brutal in my review of her last book and?!? Yeah it was really badddd!!!

But this one hit it!!

No Metal Detector Needed! Golden!

Revisado: 10-02-21

Loved it! Probably the best in series! It flowed naturally and I didn’t sense that ‘searching aspect’ often read/listened in a book series.

I still got a ‘jab’ with the American Disney Land but stood above it...

By far her best book in the series.

Yet? There was still that rush in the ending with every typical ‘death solving murder novels’. Wish it didn’t always have an unrealistic happy ending every time.

That’s just not Ireland

It’s Sad

Revisado: 09-23-20

I got the story.

Sometimes? I wish the author views wouldn’t get in the way.

Glad it did.

North Dakota/oil fields is an enigma to most of America.

It’s a rare novel portrayal of life as most don’t know in the 20th century.

I wish more books were written about this era of life.

It’s a Fact! Cameron is the Best!

Revisado: 09-21-20

I love Cornwell, Archer and Woulk! But? Cameron just develops better and uses modern day language to describe history. I’ve listened to every book from above authors mentioned but somehow? Cameron pulls me into the moment of experience.

At first, I think it’s a bit cheesy and Cameron does open his books a bit weak. However? It just always gets better! He gets stronger after chapter 2-3. It’s amazing! I’ve listened to every book he’s written on Audible; no regrets!

I can’t believe his books are so cheap on Audible! Far better then most! I almost feel guilty spending a credit on a $16.95 book.

Well worth it!

My Emotions Stung!

Revisado: 12-13-19

The complexity of life is rich. It doesn’t matter our culture.

I dared to listen to something different. Glad I did!

Check my audible account. I listened to hundreds this year.

Still?

I’d rate this book high on my list.

Excellent!!

I Missed the ‘back handed’ American Face Slap!

Revisado: 09-20-19

As an Irish American, I can’t help but love this series.

Of course, my family/ancestors faced starvation and/or death in Ireland. Forced to immigrate to the U.S. It was tough to visit Ireland a few years back.

I looked for books to remind me where I came from.

Love this modern day social perspective. I now realize that the Ireland my family left no longer wants us back or to visit. This modern day view of Irish heritage think we are loud and obnoxious Americans. It’s OK.

I still laughed with so many of the Irish sayings and way of life because it naturally related to my family here in the States.

Keep in mind that England/Britain/N. Ireland starved and drove most of our ancestors out. If this author consistently puts down Irish Americans down, I’ll probably go another direction with modern day Irish story telling.

Having said that. This book and series has been so refreshing. I loved it and felt at home.

‘You can take Ireland away from the Irishman but you can’t the pub out of him.’

Typical Irish author to beat down immigrants that left to survive and then now survive from their/American money/love poured back into our country home.

Ireland doesn’t want us Irish back but they want our money.

Grin.... typical...

Write another book!

What the heck?

Revisado: 05-10-19

I’ve listened to almost every Bernard Cornwell books’.

Need I say more?

I even watched him interviewed etc.

Don’t think for an instant he’s the only author I like.

Great mind and vocabulary.

Kudos!

Good?!? But Not Good Enough

Revisado: 04-08-19

I was a tad disappointed having just finished the epic one on ‘The huntress’.

This book felt a bit flat in comparison. However, I appreciated the ‘Woman Power’ theme. A bit underwhelmed. Nice try though.

I get the suspension with the multiple time line climax. It didn’t really work for me.

Too complex with pregnant lead character and still trying to find the surgery coated Scottish baby daddy. A bit over the top.

Still shed a few sappy tears for epic ending.

Good enough. But? Ya... I won’t listen to another of this authors books.

An Inspiring Picture of Life!

Revisado: 03-21-19

I’ve never heard of Don McCullin.

I was just perusing the books Jonathan Keeble narrated because he’s just that awesome!

The cover picture of this book caught my eye. Something about the old poor looking shmuck caught my eye. There was only one review. Ok.

I read a bit of the critic that is usually given for a brief description. Hhhmm

I threw the dice!

Whow!! What a book! I resonated and connected with the authors journey. I’m not even into photography. My horizons have been expanded by this memoir.

Thank you Mr. McCullin for sharing your story.
