Too much about nothing.

Revisado: 04-07-24

Just not for me. Unrealistic, predictable, sort of "Woke". I will try to find s more believable book

Nice story about a CIA officer

Revisado: 05-19-23

Nice story from an actual CIA officer from his early days to his retirement. Interesting to hear about his early injuries and his recovery. Juggling family life while being stationed overseas. I did not really like some of the production. I think the narrator "overdid it" when trying the different voices. A good read.

Entertaining

Revisado: 10-16-21

This is an entertaining book. But, just not factually believable. I did enjoy it after watching the movie years ago. Afterwards I did a little research and in my mind it is more fictional than factual.

Good book, but....

Revisado: 10-16-21

This is a good book, but it has some flaws. I think it is factual for the most part. Very interesting review of the events of the bin laden raid. I know a lot of research went into it.

I didn't appreciate all of Wallace's political spin, but I did expect it. The biggest complain is that one of the story lines has nothing to do with the hunt for bin laden. This part of the book was just filler that should have ended up the editor's floor, had nothing to do with the mission.

Just not very good

Revisado: 08-11-21

This book is "just not very good". It is typical of recent John Grisham works. Where is the suspense, the surprise ending, etc.? I got spoiled on THE PARTNER, THE LAST JUROR, THE RUNAWAY JURY.

*** Spoiler Alert ***
The book opens with a bang. Then it is much ado about nothing. In the end the two separate legal matters of the defendant and then the civil suit just end unresolved. I was really disappointed!

Great Novel, Great Performance

Revisado: 07-12-21

An American classic. Choose this version as Frank Muller (RIP) performs a great narration.

Good story, bad performance

Revisado: 02-04-21

I liked the movie War Dogs, so I wanted to give the book a try. This book is a good story about how some young guys won, and tried to fulfill a big contract for the US military. It shows the bureaucracy and red tape of our government. I got tired of the constant reference to the "dudes" being dope heads. The author just will not shut up about that aspect of these guys. But the worst part was the narrator. When he is reading the book he is OK, but when he tries to perform as Efraim, David, or Alex he is terrible. Just read the darn book! Otherwise, yes I liked it.

thought it was James Lee Burke

Revisado: 12-18-20

I thought it was James Lee Burke, especially with Will Patton reading. Not what I expected from King. Typical ex cop that couldn't give it up. Predictable ending. I recommend you find a different read.

Great Book, terrible performance

Revisado: 09-17-20

The Dumas masterpiece is as great as ever. The performance was terrible, must have had zero editing. Narrator makes mistakes, false starts, repeats words, background noise; very irritating and disappointing. Do yourself a huge favor and choose a different recording of this classic.
