Would be better read than heard

Great history lesson. From my perspective with the Japanese names it would have been easier for me to keep track of who they were talking about if I had the impression of the name in my mind in words. I understood more when I listened on my computer and put on closed caption. I do not want to diminish the quality of the book, that's just my impression. Very good information and interesting details for any history buff, but I would suggest reading rather than listening.

Great review of history that I lived through as a child

Revisado: 11-15-24

I know it took place over many years, but this retelling seemed to go on and on. It was great for me to reassess my opinion of some of the leaders that were in power during my childhood such as Ross Perot. I also lost some respect for President Johnson and his disrespect and lack of empathy for those in the war. Reminded me of how insignificant women were as individuals back in the 60’s and 70’s. These women were different, but when their men came home, they returned to the traditional rolls of their time.

Enjoy the Twin Cities history

Revisado: 06-25-24

Kind of like a TV PI who is indestructible - that’s who McKenzie is. Sometimes there’s so many characters it’s hard to follow. Overall, pretty good mysteries.

I need to make a list of all the characters to keep up 

Revisado: 03-15-24

As usual, I love to revisit places I know from the stories of McKenzie. I liked some of the reoccurring characters and their personalities like Heavenly.  I always learn something new about my Twin Cities, and enjoy the mysteries which are not too gruesome for my taste.

A Depression Era story

Revisado: 02-11-24

Too long. Really not a happy ending for the main character as she described it. The story left me wondering about some of the historical facts like the code of the hobos.

I prefer real people

Too much imagination. Everything falls into place with money and relationships - just like a fairytale

Mackenzie is like a cat with 9 lives

Revisado: 02-26-23

Since the story didn’t take place in the Twin Cities, it wasn’t of as much interest to me. I enjoy when the stories take place in the Twin Cities and learn the history of Minneapolis and St. Paul and suburbs. Sometimes it’s hard to follow who’s who, but I can backtrack. On to the next one

Gotta love the history

Revisado: 01-08-23

The mystery and the mix of history make for a great read. Keeps you going with the twists and turns and the cast of characters. Being from the Twin Cities, I especially love the history involved in these serious.

Not a typical childhood…and yet it was

Revisado: 07-01-22

Enjoyable but long! Interesting perspective of kids who grew up in the same household and were yet so different. Love still reigns despite their different paths in life.

True Penny Marshall

Revisado: 12-26-21

Penny Marshall reading this just added to the joy of listening. Somebody who’s checked off their bucket list before it’s necessary has had a quite interesting life. Great insight into the entertainment world. I recommend reading.
