The First Part of one of the English Languages greatest books.

Revisado: 08-28-19

Did I give away my thought by the title of this post? Wonderful imagination, great depth, beautiful storytelling, high adventure. It has earned its place as perhaps the foremost fantasy story of modern times.

Loved it. But...

Revisado: 11-06-18

I enjoyed The Consuming Fire. Good story, well read by Mr. Wheaton. It built to a satisfying conclusion. The but is that Mr. Scalzi is a little bit too much of a smart ass for his own good. Sometimes I found I just wanted to smack a character or two or three upside the head. Still, in the end, a good, satisfying listen. I’m hooked for book 3.

I had fun! Marsters always does a great job and so did everyone else. I was particularly touched by the last story. Nice job, Jim!

Another wonderful portrait by Chernow

Revisado: 11-13-17

I knew only what I learned in school about his presidential years. Plus, I knew about his Civil War Years. Chernow goes into his usual depth and rounds out his book with sympathetic eye but is uncompromising in the honesty and depth of his portrait of Grant’s flaws as well as his strengths. His description of Reconstruction in the South after the war was a part of the story we so rarely hear; domestic terrorism at it’s worse. I always liked Grant as a General and now have a much deeper respect for him. Great book. Audible 20 Review Sweepstakes Entry

Mr. McWhorter always provides a fun interesting read. He makes me want to be a linguist.

McCullough tells the story of the Wright Brothers. Masterfully told, wonderfully performed. Read it, enjoy it. These were amazing men.

This is a Great Book!

Revisado: 03-01-16

What made the experience of listening to The Boys in the Boat the most enjoyable?

Everything. I was pulled into the story from the start. An engaging, absorbing, inspirational story. I felt better having listened to it. Edward Herrmann communicated Daniel James Brown's story masterfully. He will be sorely missed as an actor and as a reader.

What did you like best about this story?

Brown's description of and Hermann's reading of the races. I found myself on the edge of my seat listening to them. I found myself'being in the boat' with them, almost feeling each pull of the oar.

Which character – as performed by Edward Herrmann – was your favorite?

Joe Rantz. His life and struggles were both heartbreaking and, ultimately, inspiring.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Strive until you succeed.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this book, in fact have recommend this this book, to everyone I know. One of my favorite books ever.

Hit all the right notes with me.

I'm a sentimental slob and I just thoroughly enjoyed this book. A nice fantastic element that added humor and insight and one that was never abandoned or explained away. I've read many of the St. Mary's books and enjoyed them but this is my favorite of her books.
