Intelligent

Revisado: 03-05-24

More intelligent than most books in genre. Also, about more mature adults. Not a rehash plot.

Just pleasant!

I need an easy listening sometimes and these filled the bill. Characters are likable but not soppy. Worth a credit.

Get rid of the sound effects.

Revisado: 10-16-23

I am about 20 per cent through book and like others i can’t stand sound effects. As much as i like the story and explanations of subs and life i may not finish. Even my dog hates the bugle. Offer a sound free version . 1950s tv at its worse.

Great Listen!

Finally, an author who is not fearful of expressing intelligent conclusions about errors of judgment made by misdirected and sometimes stubborn men of high rank. Very well researched with new facts not in prior histories of the war. As much as possible he presents losses not merely as tonnages but as people whose fates were decided in the most arbitrary ways. This is THE book every adult of voting agr should read.

Fascinating with facts I wish all Americans knew.

Revisado: 09-04-23

This is a heavy book to handle in one go even for someone very interested in WW 2. I took a brief break after Coral Sea so as to keep facts separate from Midway. Sometimes the abbreviations were a bit mych for someone not well versed in the aviation aspect of the war in the Pacific. It took going back to footage of early navy divebombers for me to really appreciate the nightmarish approach required. I just didn’t “feel” it from the book. I slowed the speed and ran it through a speaker to handle narration which could have been better. Talking through one’s nose does not allow for a pleasant change of voice. Still, must read/listen.

One of the most intelligent series!

Revisado: 08-22-23

I am relistening to the series and am enjoying it more as i catch details previously missed. The plots are always intelligent and revolve around a different historic scenario. Clever and entertaining.

This book left me speechless!

Revisado: 06-30-23

Warning: the review contains a spoiler.

As a long time fan of Greig Beck I have to say I don’t know if I or anyone else who loves his characters should chance any more of his books. I was disappointed to lose the character Valerie but accepted that was realistic. This book however was horribly a downer. If an author wants to end a series fine, but don’t take it out on the reader by giving us a depressing crash ending. I use to listen to Greig’s books over and over but I have such horrid images from this book I shall not be able to listen again.

Such a shame. we are back to book one .

Revisado: 06-26-23

When the end of your plot requires so much explanation
There is something wrong. Again, three hours too long. Book two was so much better.

Significantly better than its predecessor

Revisado: 06-24-23

I rated theme prior book 3 stars but stated I saw so much promise I was going to buy the second. This had a tight, fascinating story line with developed characters and a real feel for the misery of the Balkan states 20 years ago. Great dialogue, good rhythm. A fearless storyline showing life is not always what we imagine it. Bravo!
