One of my favorite books. MG.

Revisado: 03-10-23

A great listen in every way. Like a wonderful play. I don’t read thrillers but I do love suspenseful books and movies.
My husband and I listened to this years ago and again now, totally absorbed.
Ignore the comments about flawed and “unlikeable characters” and
Rachel dismissed as “just a drunk”. How she became reliant on alcohol and was well explained by the author. I felt compassion for her and rooted for her throughout the book.
Those readers wouldn’t like Ana Karenina or Madame Bovary either.
A sharp look at how dismissive people like Sgt. Riley can be.
Another sharp look at shallowness and self-admiration in Anna’s case,
And sympathy and complexity in Megan’s case, each character well drawn.
Good actresses with distinct voices.

Essential reading for every American

Revisado: 02-12-23

Thrilling story, well told, narrated beautifully.
This is the central story of America, the beginning of our democracy on Manhattan island, NOT the tyrannical theocracies of New England.
We have much to thank the Dutch for; foundational ideas on our individual freedoms and right to self-determination, our Bill of Rights, our strength in our diversity, our free trade tradition.
The winners, the English, wrote the history and buried our Dutch origins.

David McCallion, narrator, version.

Revisado: 06-28-20

This is THE one to get!
Listenable, and lets you get the jokes without an elbow to your ribs!
Subtle and modern sounding, delivered with restraint.
My all-time favorite, for suddenly knocking me off my chair laughing,
and that’s not all.

It was only available for ordering on iPad. Not desktop or iPhone. ?
