Amazing - if that is the right word?

Where does Son rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I grew up in Northern Idaho and had heard about the South Hill rapist at the time he was active. It is incredible to compare my remembrance of him and the true Kevin Coe. I seriously could not stop thinking about this audiobook and had a hard time putting it down to eat and sleep!

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

I do not think I have listened to Kevin Pierce before. He did an excellent job on this audio.

If you could give Son a new subtitle, what would it be?

A mad man and his mother

Any additional comments?

This is a fascinating look at a manipulating psychopath who was completely able to fool everyone around him. You want to scream, "It's him!! It's him!"

ABSOLUTELY LOVE ERIK LARSON!!!

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

I would absolutely recommend this book to a friend! If you have read any of Erik Larson's books, you know that he recreates the time and setting for the main topic of the story but weaves many other story lines in so that you get an amazing sense of the era, people, and cultures.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dead Wake?

By the time you get to the climax of the story, you identify with so many of the characters enabling you to digest what's happening from so many different perspectives. You ARE the passengers, the captain, the u-boat commander, etc..

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

I am not sure if I have or not but his performance was spot-on for this audible!

Any additional comments?

If you love history, you will love this book! Erik Larson is a master story-teller!!

If you could sum up A Backpack, a Bear, and Eight Crates of Vodka: A Memoir in three words, what would they be?

Engaging, Interesting, and Funny

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Backpack, a Bear, and Eight Crates of Vodka: A Memoir?

I was surprised to find out how difficult it was for the author's family to leave Russia in 1989!?? I love history and read a lot of nonfiction but this was different because the author is essentially the same age as I am! It was eye-opening in a very relate-able way!

Which character – as performed by Daniel Gamburg – was your favorite?

I thoroughly enjoyed Daniel's narration. His slight accent was endearing and (although I am not Russian) it sounded authentic and natural! I just finished listening to a completely different audiobook about Russia and the narration made me want to scream because it was so overdone and obnoxious!

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

The title of this book would be hard to beat!

Any additional comments?

It was so interesting to listen to Lev's impressions of his trek to America via Austria. His family was hilarious, intelligent and lovely to 'get to know.'He helped me see America through the eyes of an immigrant. I always admire and envy those from other cultures who come to America but this story helped me also see the struggles as well. This is an uplifting story about human kindness, friendships and family! I learned so much about Russia, immigration policies (or lack thereof), and what it means to be a family!

The subject matter was very interesting but I could not stand to listen to the narrator! I learned a lot about Putin - sadly!
