Better than expected !!!!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Rather Outspoken to be better than the print version?

Yes. Although I will not be able to read the printed version. I love to listen to Dan Rather.He is an amazing story teller.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked all of it, and will re-listen to it.

Which scene was your favorite?

No scenes, just great stories. An eye opener of inside journalism and our media, and how things are not always as we hear or see them. Our US network media does a lot of cut and paste.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was perfect. I will re-listen to this book again.

Any additional comments?

It's perfect! Thank you Mr. Rather.

Not what I expected... Disappointing...

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I don't think I would recommend to anyone interested in this series. At least not this book.

What could Kathleen O'Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

They should put the reader in the area of 40 thousand years ago. The language that the clans used was that of a college professor. Their conversations with each other were completely unbelievable. The people of the raven or any other tribe/clan would not be using this advanced vocabulary during this time period. I would have liked to know how they grew their food, hunted, and gathered, made and used tools, and lived day to day. I understand they needed the drama of "conflict" and "sex" but.... Having grown up in the Pacific Northwest, I would have liked to hear of some geographic similarities. We have many beautiful scenes here, I'm pretty sure Mt Rainier, Mt. St. Helen's, and the others in the Cascades and Olympic areas were here. Having just returned from Kennewick, I think they could have described the area better. What were the people were seeing, and put the reader there. To the east are the plains, and high desert of Washington and Oregon, to the south the Columbia River, to the west the Central Cascade mountain range that stretches from Canada to California. The weather is extreme in the high desert. Summers are very hot and can be in the 90's and 100's for days. Winters are harsh, snow is common and measured in feet. Very cold, and weeks of temperatures in the 20's or lower. Overall...... Disappointing.

What three words best describe Grover Gardner’s performance?

I liked his performance. It's too bad that he had to read a novel that read like a college thesis. These people did not speak to each other with type of vocabulary. The people in 2012 don't converse with this vocabulary, I'm pretty sure the people of 40 thousand years ago had a more simple vocabulary.

Do you think People of the Raven needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

They have follow up books, although not all of them are in audio versions that are downloadable most are still on CD's.

Any additional comments?

I have removed the remainder of the " People " series from my wish list.

If you could sum up Unbroken in three words, what would they be?

How in the world did he survive this? I can't even imagine how one would get through this experiences.

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

Absolutely... I can hardly wait to get the movie. I missed seeing it in the theaters

What did you like best about this story?

I liked all of it, I remember a great deal of the 60's. Although grew up in the pacific northwest, I have trouble believing the circumstances in the southern states. The arrogance.

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

No
