What a treat! Exceptional entertainment!

Revisado: 11-08-18

This was just great. I found myself totally engrossed in the story and at the same time felt like I was sitting in the theater watching these incredible actors perform. You get drawn in quickly. I do not want to give away story details in my reviews as it should be a surprise but I will say good messages and a good ending. Do not pass this one up.

This book has it all!

Revisado: 10-25-18

It's not often I find a book that covers all the attributes I enjoy in a book. For me this book offered history, scenery, a compelling story and interesting characters along with a great narrator. It really drew me in. One additional item I appreciated is at the end of the book, the author gives you an update on the character's lives after the war. Great to know Pino is still around.

Dark

It has been decades since I read Lord of the Flies. I did not like that book and for many of the same reasons, I did not like this book. I will say it is very well written with good development of the characters and story. The narrator does a great job. It is definitely a twist on the original Peter Pan but for me a bunch of brutal young boys on an island killing each other was not very entertaining. I think I'll go back and reread the original Peter Pan.

An investment in time but a good entertaining book

Revisado: 09-23-18

I am used to mostly action books so switching to this was definitely a change. At times I found my mind wandering and had to replay a section here and there to get back in the story. I was about to give up and request a refund but went back and saw the 57,000 mostly positive reviews. As some of the other reviews state it does start off slow but the story develops and becomes very entertaining. It is a twenty-nine hour book which was also a change. I am moving on to something different for a bit but will be coming back for book two. I did notice book two is forty something hours long but you’re getting a lot of book for one credit.

A little heavy on the violence details.

Revisado: 08-18-18

I jumped right in to this book after reading the first book. I enjoyed the story and the plots. The author does a great job building the characters and the narrator is superb. I understand this takes place during a very violent period even if fiction. The segment where Falcio goes through a nine day torture seemed to go on forever, maybe even a full chapter. I was exhausted.
I read for entertainment and while book one and two were both very entertaining the section where he relives his wife's brutal rape and murder in detail was not very entertaining for me. I understand this is part of Falcio's history and makeup but a little too much for me. At this point I have not decided if I will go on to book three. Maybe I just need a rest.

Amazing story of perseverance and determination.

Revisado: 05-09-18

As with one of the other reviews, I found the execution of the read a little dry. That being said, what a great piece of history and a truly inspiring story. The determination of Art Meyerowtiz and the French people is so uplifting. Thank you Seth Meyerowitz for sharing this incredible story of history and your family.

Need more than 5 stars for this one.

Revisado: 02-17-18

I really enjoyed book 1 in the series and went straight to book 3 based on the ratings. The characters, the plots and the action is nonstop. This is one of those books you can’t stop listening to and don’t want to end. As usual Scott Brick brings the characters and the story to life.

Inspiring and educational with a story. Eye opening.

Revisado: 11-03-17

I enjoyed many aspects of this book. The story of this individual becoming a minimalist and the Japanese life style he leads are entertaining and informative.
I would recommend this book to everyone. It applies to those who have accumulated too many things and those on that path without knowing it. He tells a good story of the freedom one achieves by limiting their possessions and creating space. Many tips along the way and truly makes you aware of the excess one has and the burden it carries.
I gave this book the rating I did because even though it was not a long book I did find some of the information repetitive along the way.

Very enjoyable, take the trip.

This narrator does such a great job with the Irish tones and characters you are there. Set in a small Irish village the murder mystery developes impacting the O’Sullivan family. Audible has some great narrators and Caroline Lennon is up there with the top of the pack. You will enjoy this book.

You can't help but love this guy and the book.

Revisado: 10-07-17

This is a great book, inspiring, informative and entertaining. The fact the book is read by the author brings it to life. It is the story of young child reaching his life long dream of becoming an astronaut after being inspired by the movie The Right Stuff. He takes you on his path to the door of getting in the program and then the inner workings of NASA. Mike Massimino thank you for sharing your life story. You are the Right Stuff, inspirational and a true leader. Ever think of running for President?
