Could listen to this over and over

If he just wasn't such a rabid misogynist; but a funny little man, nevertheless. Hope the little guy writes another.

Not overly great.

It's okay.

A little dull.

Revisado: 10-09-15

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The overall design of the chapters is fairly silly.

Would you recommend Yes Please to your friends? Why or why not?

Two or three chapters are worth keeping. It is all down hill after those.

How could the performance have been better?

Maybe another main narrator.

Was Yes Please worth the listening time?

Unfortunately, no.

Any additional comments?

I had high hopes for this otherwise talented person, but after chapter three, hope faded.

Man is a mad creation; wonders of glory, horror

Revisado: 08-27-15

Would you listen to Unbroken again? Why?

The story makes one feel really alive to all the wonders, and horrors, of life and war, and the reality of the strong spirit that keeps the vulnerable body alive.

What other book might you compare Unbroken to and why?

The book brings to mind many a sea tale- from "Fatal Voyage: "The Sinking of the Indianapolis," to Ïslands of the Damned" to heroic - and doomed - voyages of discovery, although it is not fully any of these.

What does Edward Herrmann bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narrator seems to have moments channeling Franklin Roosevelt, a central figure in the book's era. Mr. Herrmann has the calm voice needed to narrate such a deeply nerve-wracking tale, completely avoiding the hyperbolic and verbal exclamation point. It is as if he was telling his guests the story by his fireside.

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

In a ocean of horror, there is glory in survival.

Any additional comments?

Research made this book very satisfying; the lack of jingoism and hyperbole made it real.

Craig Wasson could make anything interesting

Revisado: 05-15-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Have recommended this book to fellow New Englanders and old Stephen King readers; it is a long ride that still rings of King's old novels, read satisfyingly by Craig Wasson. Mr Wasson is like a stage show hiding in a tiny MP3 player.

What was one of the most memorable moments of 11-22-63?

There are many, but the Down East moments are my favorites. Great accents by the reader are laugh aloud entertaining.

Have you listened to any of Craig Wasson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This reader feels like a new and satisfying discovery. I do believe I would listen to an audiobook I would never before have considered if he is reading it.

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

It's not your job

Any additional comments?

Thanks for some real, hearty entertainment.
