If your family...

Revisado: 01-07-24

is from Eastern Europe, this is a "must listen". Most of my family is from Hungary, Slovakia regions even bending into what is now Russia. I have worked on my lineage for 30 years, and I found it helpful when working on a person to understand what their world was like in the region & time they came from. I don't want to see their world through my "today" eyes. Some things are hard to listen to, and you do shake your head in "why?" throughout it all. It's so important for our children and grandchildren to understand this too (and yes, not to dilute American History).

Time Travel whiplash

Revisado: 03-05-23

I loved the story idea of the years of sewing ledgers kept by the user of the sewing machine. But I kinda got lost in the story line of where the time jumps were all leading to. And then poof the book was over. The characters are endearing, but it seemed like it could use a little more reference to the ending.

Medieval history is more than knights, and this book explained more! Commerce was the life line to a region's growth or downfall. loved this book

long overdrawn

Revisado: 04-24-11

The narration to this story was very good, but I found myself getting lost with the characters. It seems the story line (and I realize it was written quite a few years ago) is long. After the first half, I've lost interest, as the wording could be better. But then again, it was written quite a few years ago.

"Must Read" for every parent

Revisado: 03-26-11

This story follows a delicate friendship of two Jewish lads, David & Ruven, their fathers and their different Jewish faiths (one Hassidic, the other not). There are few characters to keep up with but the last chapter is so moving, about understanding your children, not necessarily liking it, but loving them. I wish I would have read this years ago, perhaps my own angst with my children would not have been so dividing.

I'm a sucker

Revisado: 03-02-11

for medieval stories, and POTE had my attention from start to finish. Again, a little bit more "happily ever after" and good things to the characters would not hurt, you just get tired of disappointments, but nonetheless an excellent read

WWI adventure

Revisado: 03-02-11

I found some of the characters long and overdrawn with KF's WWI trilogy. I'm a tad disappointed that the American and Marines of WWI were not mentioned in the fighting scenes as they did make a huge contribution (but that's my take). I want to see Ken write a little bit more 'happily ever after' to his story lines. The disappointments in his books tend to be exhausting. Good listen, tho!

sad love story

Revisado: 03-02-11

I like that the narration went from female to male voice, made it easier to follow. Not a great story line for adventure, but surely one for love and devotion.
