Disappointing

Revisado: 10-10-24

I was excited to listen but this never really got going. Same story told from different perspectives which I expected, but it just didn’t grab me. Beautifully written in some places but overall boring and disjointed. Okay it won a Pulitzer which gives it redeeming value perhaps but this book seemed to have much greater potential. I thought it was just ok.

Excellent and comprehensive both in content and narration. This is one of the best WWII books I’ve experienced. A must read for anyone interested in this theater of the war.

Simply put: outstanding!

Revisado: 02-06-23

Big surprise. Full of insight and the culture of the period. Still shocking to hear about how women were (and undoubtedly still are in some circles) treated. But this is not a ‘woman’s’ book. Also some pretty insightful commentary on life’s little challenges-and rewards! Leaves me wondering, for example, just how well our doggies understand our language. Certainly more than we give them credit for. I expected good but this was great all around. Don’t hesitate!

I was one of those who emigrated to the US in the 80s. I was in my 20s. This book is the story of my youth. Absolutely wonderful. I want to listen to it all over again

Keep Going

Revisado: 06-09-22

Another grand entry in the series. Yes, the characters are beyond perfect and the narration somewhat cheesy at times (my opinion) but the overall story is enthralling and I thoroughly enjoyed the immersive characters as history unfolds at their feet. Was looking for something to rival Winds of War and while this may not equal Wouk’s epic it is a worthy addition. Intriguing insight into the Resistance across several continents all the while demonstrating the British determination and allied fight. Jumping right into the just released volume 4. Keep them coming!

Worthwhile

Revisado: 05-28-22

This second book in the series builds on the story and in my view is better than the first. The inspirational resolve of the British people and their stand against tyranny is truly inspiring and well-represented here. Certainly a worthwhile listen which provided significant insight into the Battle of Britain and the beginning of the Blitz that I found both informative and enthralling. The narration still leaves something to be desired, but does not detract from the overall story and is either improved or has become more familiar. I’ll continue the series and do recommend it. The author has clearly done his research and there are many valuable details here for anyone interested in learning more about this period of history.

Better than expected

Revisado: 02-11-22

… and I expected a lot! Great listen filled with rock and roll stories and from an obviously unique perspective. Dave perfectly captures that intangible connection between the performer and audience. He genuinely sounds like a fan at heart and seems so relatable, grounded despite his fame and fortune. He really sounds like a nice guy! I recently saw an interview where Pink paid the Foo Fighters the greatest compliment: the band really gives their all every night and they make you feel like the show is better because you’re there. This passion also shines throughout this story. Bravo Dave!

Profound

Revisado: 10-23-21

Highly recommend. Was deterred by some of the reviews but now at the end I wish it wasn’t over. Fantasy yes but for me filled with many profound and real insights. Thoroughly enjoyable and often very real if you allow it to be. Excellent listen and overall one of the most enjoyable. Actually one of the first books that I very well may do again. Bravo!
