Inspiring and uplifting

This is a must read for Christians, especially if you have Muslim fiends. Truly inspiring and the reading was great too. .

Really good but also shockingly ignorant in places

Revisado: 11-08-23

I enjoyed this and learned a lot from it. However, while the author might be extremely knowledgeable about the Bible, his ignorance of the American slave trade is shocking. He said more than once that "if Southerners had followed the Bible, slavery wouldn't have been an issue." This ignores the facts that other African tribes were capturing and selling Africans into slavery, Northerners also owned slaves, and the majority of the ships that brought slaves to the US were Northern owned. There's plenty of blame to go around regarding slavery, not just to the South and not just to America. Still a good book though when the author sticks to topics he's actually knowledgeable about.

Took me back to my days in the Army

Revisado: 08-03-20

Loved this story so hard. As a female who served, the authenticity hit hard. I absolutely loved Deanie and the story itself, and Gunny was perfect. I just ordered book one of the Galaxy's Edge series. Thanks to Audible's monthly free reads and the authors for introducing me to what looks to be a great series

This could have been great with some editing

Revisado: 05-29-20

I'm frankly surprised to see so many "great editing" mentions. This book is in DIRE need of a good edit / proofread. I have lost count of the number of times I've come across this sort of writing error:

"...Hans slowly peeked into the room. Stepping into the room fully, a bucket of ice-cold water became visible."

That means the bucket of ice-cold water stepped into the room. I've lost count of how many times that sort of thing crops up and how many times I've had to back up and re-listen to a bit to try to figure out who's doing what. It's to the point now that every time it happens, I grind my teeth. That does not make for an enjoyable reading / listening experience.

It's a shame too. The story was pretty engaging, and I love Cal. The narrator does a phenomenal job. But if I'm hearing so many errors in the audiobook, I shudder to think of what's on the printed page. Based on the story, I'd love to get next in series, but frankly I'm struggling to get through this book. I'm yanked out of the story every few minutes by an error that should have been caught in editing, and I just don't think I can make it through another book in the series no matter how much I'm curious to know what happens next.

I laughed so hard and was fully engaged from start to finish. Riveted, as Tinaca would say.

Good story, but the narrator ruined it

Revisado: 05-04-19

I enjoyed this story quite a bit, but the narrator was horrible. Truly. I feel bad for saying that, but she read Judy like she would a man's voice. The way she read Benny made me wonder for half the book if Benny was supposed to be a lesbian. Not that I think lesbians sound like men--I know they don't. But I could see someone ignorant thinking they do and reading a lesbian character that way. Half the time I wondered if I'd accidentally sped up the narration (I hadn't). The other half the time, the characters sounded like Fred Flintstone. And finally and most egregiously, it was like the narrator had no idea how to read a comma. Something like this: "What do you mean," she said, surprised would come out like this: "What do you mean?" She said, "Surprised." Very disconcerting, and it kind of killed the book for me (and not in a good way). I read / listened to this for my book club, and I'm praying we don't select any more books narrated by Ms. Burton.

Fantastic story.

Revisado: 06-19-18

Loved this story. Fantastic narrator, and the action grabs you and doesn't let go. I'll definitely be listening to more from this author.
