Historia
Using his own experiences, log books, and correspondence with other U-boat crewmen, Hans Goebeler offers rich and personal details about what life was like in the German Navy under Hitler. Since his first and last posting was to U-505, Goebeler's perspective of the crew, commanders, and war patrols paints a vivid and complete portrait unlike any other to come out of the Kriegsmarine. He witnessed it all, from deadly sabotage efforts that almost sunk the boat to the tragic suicide of the only U-boat commander who took his life during World War II.

Narration ruins it.
Revisado: 10-09-24
This story already suffers from the clunkiness of being translated from what I assume was a German language draft. The author puts emphasis on some really odd stuff and just kind of shotgun blasts it out there for you to deal with.
The nail in the coffin is the narrator. Once you hear him inhale and become aware of it, you suffer through twelve hours of old man dry throat breathing and wobbly, robotic reading.

Narrator is its biggest fault.

I had to play this on 2x speed to get through it. This guy makes you miss Michael Pritchard. He's that bad.
Whatever life and action this story has is sapped by the absolutely incompetent reader. Honestly missed a lot of major plot points as I felt little inclination to rewind to cover something I missed. I just wanted out of John Macdonald's aural torture chamber.

Oreilly should stick to writing, not narration.
Revisado: 10-09-24
This book is short, sweet and over before it feels like its getting anywhere.
The main killer here was the guy who wrote the book narrating it with persistent errors in pronunciation and nomenclature. Its jarring and makes you realize that the guy who wrote it isn't enough of a subject matter expert to properly pronounce "Luftwaffe". Seriously, he says "Luft-waff" about 25 times. Refers to the Browning Automatic Rifle as a "Bar", not the proper B.A.R. The book's reading is littered with this crap and it really makes it a slog to listen to.
Lastly, this book is 90% filler telling you what you already know about the timeframe. Then quickly scoots through the assassination scenario in less than a minute without warning. You learn more from the epilogue and afterword than you do listening to the book. Made for good background noise while I did other stuff.

Historia
Sgt. Don Malarkey takes us not only into the battles fought from Normandy to Germany, but into the heart and mind of a soldier who beat the odds to become an elite paratrooper and lost his best friend during the nightmarish engagement at Bastogne. Drafted in 1942, Malarkey arrived at Toccoa Camp in Georgia and was one of six soldiers who earned their Eagle wings and went to England in 1943 to provide ground cover for the largest amphibious military attack in history: Operation Overlord.

More ramble than memoir.
Revisado: 03-14-24
This book should be titled "My memories of Oregon and the girl I didn't marry in the end- with reference to the 101st Airborne Division."
couldn't even finish the meandering final chapter.

Historia
It's 2535. It is the first, desperate days of the Human-Covenant War, and the United Nations Space Command has enacted “the Cole Protocol” to safeguard Earth and its inner colonies from discovery by its merciless alien foe. Many are called upon to rid the galaxy of lingering navigation data that could potentially reveal the location of Earth and ensure the destruction of humanity.

Badly written
Revisado: 02-24-23
The author isn't bad, he's just unlucky when it comes to good writing. Gave up on it halfway. This book reads like bad fan fiction. No headers at the start of each chapter to establish the date, so the boring and unengaging story has no sense of scale.
Redundant or overused words whine the same sentence are far too common. This book gives the impression it's a rough draft that went straight to print.

Historia
The Japanese had to deal with large numbers of Filipino and American soldiers who had surrendered after a lengthy defense in the Bataan peninsula, but they were not prepared for so many prisoners of war because their own military philosophy emphasized rigid discipline and fighting until the end. They could not imagine a situation in which Japanese soldiers would willingly surrender, so they assumed that no other combatants would do so either.
