Felt like I was watching it happen.

Revisado: 06-17-24

The Long March Home. My goodness this one hurt. The unrequited love, love between friends, and growing from boys into men. I felt the words of regret, grief, and loss. The death of Cowboy and difficulty of Jimmy and his father's relationship. The redemption, the forgiveness, the selflessness, and the love between men only forged during times like war was well and beautifully communicated. Billy's encouragement to Hank and Prop to not come back, his attempt to give his life for his best friends so that they might live. Hank and Jimmy saving each other and willingness to die for one another and love for Claire. Decisions made both right and wrong. So much loss and pain. Hank's willingness to risk and ultimately give his own life for others (43) including Jimmy is the kind of love that Christ says for which there is no greater love. War sucks. Love conquers all. Beautiful story. The men who lived and died on Bataan and Corrigidor deserve to be remembered and honored.

An example of a Christian man

Revisado: 07-15-23

I loved listening to this man read. He told Alvin York's story from Alvin's point of view and did an excellent job of using his dialect. I feel that this is an excellent example of what can happen by truly trusting in the Lord.

Fantastic!

Revisado: 09-25-21

This is a well researched and well written series of books. I found it difficult to to stop listening when I had to do something else. I felt like I was watching the events take place as I listened.. Not many authors arcauthors are capable of engaging the reader at this level and I greatly appreciate his level of storytelling skills. His level of storytelling skills.

Well done Andy!

I enjoyed this book immensely. The narration is unique and some would probably call it a bit goofy but it does an excellent job of communicating the story.. The brotherly love and self sacrifice communicated in this is something we can all hope to hope to rise to.

It moved me in my soul

Revisado: 02-17-20

Listen to this book.
I traveled to Europe the year after the wall came down and visited Auschwitz during that time. I remember walking around and observing the evidence of inhumanity and the simplicity of the terror of being robbed of loved ones and all that you hold dear. The hairbrushes, eyeglasses, luggage, clothing, hair, and shoes that were left behind and on display that were once owned by walklng, talking, laughing, and loving human beings told stories I could never put into words. This story did an incredible job of allowing me to see these lives through a descendants' eyes. Kelly Rimmer's story of undying loves across years is one I will listen to again and recommend to everyone (as I've already been doing).

A beautiful book that touched me to my core

Revisado: 09-20-19

There are books that capture our interest, books that teach us about ourselves, books that spark our imagination, and books that touch us in our souls. Where the crawdads sing did all of this to me and more. I've never been touched by a book like this one has touched me. I can't say enough good about how well written this book is so I will just say this. Stop reading what you're reading now and read this book. You'll wish you'd read it sooner and you'll read it or listen to it again and again. What a beautiful story. I take my hat off to Delia Owens and in fact I'll be writing her a personal letter to let her know how much this affected me. May we find more Kyas and Jumpin's, Mabels and Scuppers, Tates and Jodies in this world then we find Chases.

Well researched, well written, and just well done

Revisado: 08-25-19

Some writers have the knack to communicate what they're writing in such a way that you feel that you are a part of it and you feel it's believable. David Walton to me is one of those authors. This book made me think a lot about the subject matter in it. Very well done, I'll listen to it again.
