Cold Days is exceptional audio entertainment

What made the experience of listening to Cold Days in Hell: American POWs in Korea the most enjoyable?

This is an exceptionally entertaining audio book. There are twelve chapters each with multiple personalities. The narrator brings a lot visual content to the narration with his effective use of “Assuming the voice of the Character” for the numerous individuals in the narrative of Cold Days in Hell: American POWs in Korea. His presentation of the characters and the story settings really brings these stories to life and you can literally visualize the scenes and characters while listening to his narration. Consequently, when he is assuming various the characters he audibly takes on the persona of that individual so effectively that you can easily become a mentally visual participant in the story as if you are actually present.

Narrator brings life and motivation to this topic

Revisado: 02-11-16

What made the experience of listening to South Beach Diet Phase 1, 2 & 3 Exposed! the most enjoyable?

Any discussion or text concerning a diet or weight loss program would be very difficult to brighten up and make it something that could be a delightful and interesting dissertation. South Beach Diet Phase 1, 2 & 3 Exposed is no exception and I have read the original The South Beach Diet as well and successfully used this weight loss program but it also is a rather dry read.
However, the narrator’s narrative style in this audio version of this title does exactly that and is an excellent place to start discovering the key attributes of this heart healthy and very effective weight loss program in very short time. The narrator brings a life and motivation to this bland subject matter that is difficult to feel in the reading of the text version of the book. I highly recommend giving the audio version a listen to anyone interested in attempting this terrific weight loss program.

Have you listened to any of Kevin F. Spalding’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes I have and was once again pleased to find his narrative style compelling and motivating.

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

Yes, his chapter closing style draws you into the next chapter topic.

Any additional comments?

It is well worth the time commitment.

This book is a must for those exiting active duty.

Revisado: 06-04-15

What made the experience of listening to Boots to Loafers the most enjoyable?

This book is a must for those exiting their active duty military life. The narrator brings alive the critical subject matter contained in the text. His narration also makes the nature of the transition to civilian life very real and understandable thus providing a “real person” to follow through this process. You can also feel that he has “been there” and that brings a level of confidence to the listener that can’t be gotten from reading the book alone. This book covers the full spectrum of activity, from mindset, resumes, interview/hiring practices, discussing salary and benefits, interoffice dynamics, to the value of continuing service as an active reservist. The latter being something that I wish I had been exposed to when I left active duty.

Which scene was your favorite?

Discussing salary and benefits and the value of continuing service as an active reservist
