Born a tanner’s son in rugged Ohio in 1822 and battle-tested by the Mexican-American War, Grant met his destiny on the bloody fields of the Civil War. His daring and resolve as a general gained the attention of President Lincoln, then desperate for bold leadership. Lincoln appointed Grant as Lieutenant General of the Union Army in March 1864. Within a year, Grant’s forces had seized Richmond and forced Robert E. Lee to surrender.

Really held my interest
Revisado: 04-04-25
Bret makes history so warm and real. This is not a topic I would expect to find interesting at all and I couldn't wait to listen to more.

Christophe has been in the New World only a year when his native guides abandon him to flee their Iroquois pursuers. A Huron warrior and elder named Bird soon takes him prisoner, along with a young Iroquois girl, Snow Falls, whose family he has just killed, and holds them captive in his massive village. Champlain's Iron People have only recently begun trading with the Huron, who mistrust them as well as this Crow who has now trespassed onto their land; and her people, of course, have become the Huron's greatest enemy.

Excellent, but very explicitly violent
Revisado: 07-13-14
Any additional comments?
I learned a lot listening to this book. It gave me a better understanding of this period of history in eastern Canada, and also helped me appreciate the Huron's deep connection to the natural world. The book is VERY explicitly violent, which I did not like, but the culture of the Iroquois and Hurons was very violent and the book just presents that reality. The author does a great job of character development. Naration is excellent.

Miss Minerva Lane is a quiet, bespectacled wallflower, and she wants to keep it that way. After all, the last time she was the center of attention, it ended badly - so badly that she changed her name to escape her scandalous past. Wallflowers may not be the prettiest of blooms, but at least they don't get trampled. So when a handsome duke comes to town, the last thing she wants is his attention.

Could not get in to this book, very poorly written
Revisado: 06-19-14
Have you listened to any of Rosalyn Landor’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Rosalyn Landor always does a great job.
Any additional comments?
Just couldn't get past the first hour of this book. It was confusing, poorly written, and uninteresting for me.

She was kept chained, dressed in disguise, repeatedly raped, and told she and her family would be killed if she tried to escape. After her rescue on March 12, 2003, she rejoined her family and worked to pick up the pieces of her life.

Powerful Book
Revisado: 01-09-14
Any additional comments?
Powerful book. I remember well when Elizabeth went missing. My pretty blond daughter was nearly her age. It hit too close to home. I was thrilled when Elizabeth was found, but worried that she would never fully recover. Over the years it became clear that she had recovered well and I often wondered about the inner strength that sustained such a young innocent girl victimized by such evil. I longed for insight but did not want to read something that reeked of voyeurism. Elizabeth has managed to write a book that captures the experience superbly without the reader feeling intrusive. But not only that, it will give you much food for thought and change the way you look at scruffy beggars for the rest of your life. Elizabeth does a great job of narration as well. An inspiring read. Strongly recommended.
