Better as an adjunct

Revisado: 01-28-21

I did enjoy the book, but in the absence of maps and charts it does full short. The audio book is better as an adjunct to a paper and ink book.

one of the best accounts

Revisado: 01-04-20

I was impressed, from start to finish! This has to be one of the finest accounts of the beginnings of the second world war, that I have ever read. Impressive, was the voicing by the performer. Never exaggerated, but very similar to Churchill's actual voice.

Learned more about chilis, than I thought there was to know. I recommend this, for a quick read!

One of Steinbeck's Best

Revisado: 08-24-19

Of the many great works by Steinbeck, this is probably one of the quickest reads, of all. The book moves apace through the various lives of the denizens of Cannery Row. As with all of Steinbeck's books, this gives deep insight into the hearts and Minds of those living at a very difficult time of America's economic history. I heartily recommend it!

Lots of information, well presented!

Revisado: 06-01-19

At first I was literally overwhelmed, with all the information presented. Percentages, proportions, numbers and more numbers. But frankly, once you get into the rhythm, it's an easy book to follow and a quick read.

I think that there are lots of things that remain unpresented and unexplored in the mainstream media. and one of the points that I think was well-made, is that we all need the right to present our opinions without being shouted down.

adequate military history. Poor execution.

Revisado: 03-25-19

the book was very much in line with this author's other works. Extensive, detailed, and well-researched.

But the performance was less than mediocre. As a narrator, it is incumbent to research things like pronunciation and to be well-versed on words coming to the English language. When I hear a narrator of ancient military history use the word Calvary instead of Cavalry, it says that the narrator didn't do his job. And frankly, it's difficult to follow story when someone makes such an egregious narrating error.

Droning on

Revisado: 03-17-19

a fairly typical Cold War Era spy-type novel, replete with secret codes, handshakes, etc. Narrator droned on and on. And his pronunciation of German words/names was, at times, appalling.

Great Story

Revisado: 03-08-19

I truly enjoyed this book! I read it, because I had seen a rather abortive attempt at a TV serial version of this, several years ago. as in most cases, the book was far, far better!

The book proceeds at a good Pace, but near the end I came to bog down in the metaphysics and physics, and I finished up, hoping that the ending would be much more philosophical, and perhaps even romantic, than the way it did end. But overall, I recommend it!
