Fascinating piece of American history!

Revisado: 09-21-12

Would you listen to Lost in Shangri-La again? Why?

Yes. This was a truly riveting piece of history that my generation knows very little about. My dad was stationed in the Philipines in the navy shortly after this took place and often talked about life in the jungle; this really made his stories come alive to me!
I would have liked to see a little more emotion from the narrator but he did a good job at telling the story nontheless.

What other book might you compare Lost in Shangri-La to and why?

The Swiss Family Robinson.

Which scene was your favorite?

I loved the descriptions of the natives and how they lived and thought. Such a precious civilization who, unfortunately, would have been better off left alone in my opinion.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did cry during some of the stories "good-bye" moments. The characters were very clearly defined and did really come alive in my mind's eye.

Any additional comments?

This was a wonderful true story about the brave men and women who lived adventurous lives fraught with risk and peril, during World War II in a place that few of us still know about today. Makes me want to go there and see for myself! I loved all of it and would highly recommend this to any listener who loves history and adventure. My only regret is that it wasn't longer!!

Where does Her Mother’s Hope rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Easy listening

What other book might you compare Her Mother’s Hope to and why?

Probably Sophies Choice.

What about Stina Nielsen’s performance did you like?

Excellent narrator.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I love Francine Rivers and have read, but not listened to, all of them. This story is fairly predictable but enjoyable and inspiring nontheless.

Any additional comments?

I always enjoy the history and Biblical truth that Francine weaves into all of her novels.

Superbly narrated!!

Would you listen to The Tehran Initiative again? Why?

I am so impressed with the political intrigue and drama as it directly relates to today's world. Joel Rosenberg is a master at telling a story but also at presenting Biblical truths through believable characters. This book will not only inspire you but will educate you in a way that you least expect to be educated; through story-telling. I couldn't wait to get to the next chapter!

What about Christopher Lane’s performance did you like?

Christopher Lane has got to be, without a doubt, one of the most fabulous audio story tellers out there. Everyone of his characters comes alive through his voice. It is hard to believe that he can create all of those voices and make each one sound unique! Amazing narration!

Any additional comments?

I plan on giving this book to all of my friends and family to listen to! Thank you audible and Joel Rosenberg!
