3 for 1 of a Classic

Revisado: 04-09-17

What did you love best about Claus Boxed?

That's it's a three for one ( one credit instead of 3 ) for a wonderful trilogy. I was just going to get the first book to see if I liked it then the "three for one" idea hit me! ( Duh )
Turned out I loved all three in the series.

What did you like best about this story?

Take about imagination! The author has created a whole new fantasy world and a whole new take on Santa, Jack Frost and others. This is not just a book for kids, in fact they will love it but miss a lot of the subtlety....like Harry Potter.

Which character – as performed by James Killavey – was your favorite?

Jack...although he did a great job with all of them.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Claus and Friends

Strategic implications for future.

Revisado: 05-19-15

Would you listen to Reconsidering the American Way of War again? Why?

Yes...very "dense" book with complex ideas. I've already listened twice and plan to do it at least one more time.

What did you like best about this story?

Many people, including many in the military, think there is and always has been an American "Way of War," that emphasizes overwhelming and crushing victories no matter what the strategic goals are. The author's thorough survey of American military history points out enormous variety in military practice, and that far more attention to political control was given than is usually recognized. The ideas in this book have huge implications for any future conflicts and should be read ( or heard ) but anyone in the military involved in strategic planning.

Have you listened to any of James Killavey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I have. He is one of my favorite narrators and did his usual good job.

Any additional comments?

This is an important book and, in my opinion, should be required reading by all U.S. military officers or officers-to-be and by all politicians involved with military decision making.

Outstanding true story.

Revisado: 12-30-14

What did you love best about The Last of the Plainsmen?

A wonderful true account of a trip made by Zane Grey and one of the last of the pioneer plainsmen, Buffalo Jones. He was a famous hunter and sportsmen at the turn of the 20th century. Toward the end of his career, Jones decided not to hunt and kill wild animals but to capture and try to preserve incredible animals like the Buffalo that, even back then, were staring to die out. The book relates the trip they made to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon to try and track and capture mountain lions and Jones' attempts to preserve the last of the buffalo from extinction.

What did you like best about this story?

Zane Grey's wonderful prose and narrative skills make these adventures comes to life.

What about Jim Roberts’s performance did you like?

Does a very good job with the narration.

Who was the most memorable character of The Last of the Plainsmen and why?

Buffalo Jones..bigger than life character.

Any additional comments?

For those who are used to Zane Grey as an old West writer with lots of cowboys and gunfights, this will be quite a change but is is a wonderful story in it's own right.

Which character – as performed by James Killavey – was your favorite?

Any additional comments?
