Rocky Balboa

Superbly written and read

Revisado: 06-24-24

It is so well done that I have listened to it at least three times. I like the way the reader changes inflections and puts a slight accent on foreign characters. Well done!

Very detailed, performance annoying at times.

Revisado: 02-12-24

I greatly enjoyed the story. Learned a lot about Enzo Ferrari. But the performer insisted on pronouncing the Italian names and words with an Italian accent, as if we were in Italy listening to a native. This was…annoying. And distracting. And because the book is loaded with Italian terms, it really took away from the story. I almost returned it at the beginning. A word to future performers - When a book is in English, please use English pronunciations.

I was totally immersed in the story

Great story and characters. The vocal skills of the narrator are amazing. He did both men
And women and stayed in character, I could tell by his tone and voice inflection who was speaking. As the son of a WW2 vet I really appreciated this story. Those men and women were the greatest generation and I can see why so many if not all of the combat vets were damaged for life. Loved it! Sorry to gush but I really mean it.

Good story damaged by performance

Revisado: 03-03-23

I enjoyed the story. Whenever he was describing English characters in English, the narrators voice was strong and clear. But when the characters were Japanese, his idea of a Japanese accent was awful. At times it even sounded German. I still don’t understand why Japanese people would speak in their own language to each other with an accent. The bad accents made me cringe. But if you can block that out, go for it.

Excellent documentary, Narrator annoying

Revisado: 09-17-22

The story itself is detailed and well told. The narrator has a pleasant enough speaking voice but insists on heavily over-using the phrase "Quote/Unquote". As astute listeners we can tell when there is a direct quote being read to us, We don't need to hear "Quote/Unquote" several times per paragraph. This really detracts from the performance. In the future I will avoid any book being read by this performer for this reason alone..

Enjoyed it all the way through

Highly detailed. I liked the way the author named as many people as possible. They were our brave fellow citizens, many of them barely legal age, and they deserve to be remembered. Well narrated too.

Believable, good voice inflection, characters developed well. I could tell who was who by the speech cadence. This allowed me to envision the story line in my mind. Great job!

Very technical Good story

Revisado: 07-23-21

I enjoyed the story and the narrator. I soon learned to recognize the different voices and what character they belonged to. Learned a lot about onboard nuclear power plants. My only complaint is very minor and directed at the author. American submarines are called “boats”, not ships.
