Amazing story

Revisado: 03-15-23

A fascinating trip through the world’s problem spots over decades. I was in some of these places but learned much from this telling. Those areas where all I knew were headlines were filled in with both stories of the people on the ground and those in the policy centers.

Huge Disappointment

Revisado: 08-28-20

So much potential, so much disappointment!

I love listening to a great performance of a great book, but of course, some are better than others. Sometimes with an audio book you think, "This book wasn't great, but the narrator really made it work." Other times you think, "I want to read this book myself, because this performance really does the book an injustice." This audio book had ZERO redeeming qualities.

Tedious performances with very distracting editing. Sudden random soundtrack and sound effects in one part were also very distracting. Extremely disappointing and unbelievable story with insane amounts of rare conditions, bizarre connections, unlikely situations, and ridiculousness thinly disguised as plot twists, all tied up at the end with a really big, really stupid bow.

I generally read 4-5 books a week, and listen to another 1 or 2 a week. That's A LOT of books, and of course, some are better than others. This is one of the worst books I've consumed in a very, very, very long time.

Would have been better in print

Revisado: 06-05-19

I thought the story itself was quite interesting. The delivery, however, was quite flat, and the unnecessarily horrible mutilation of the Portuguese was cringe-worthy and distracting.

A real audio pilgrimage!

Revisado: 04-25-17

I recently returned from my own pilgrimage to the Holy Land. This book enabled me to relive each place we visited, and I loved how often Fr. Martin's experiences and emotions mirrored my own. This book also caused me to examine the so familiar Gospels more carefully, and with fresh insights, and left me with so much to contemplate and pray on. I loved this book, and hated to reach the end!

Scott Brick + John Corey = WIN!

Revisado: 06-25-15

I'm a huge DeMille fan, and John Corey is one of my favorite literary characters. Add Scott Brick's always-awesome performance, and you know it's going to be great! This book, like all the others, was riveting, and the evil Russians were a nice change from Islamic terrorists. And now I can rest easy knowing that my hero has once again saved the day!
