Narration ruins it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
