Historia
Between April and July 1944, Truman Smith flew 35 bombing missions over France and Germany. He was only 20 years old. Although barely adults, Smith and his peers worried about cramming a lifetime's worth of experience into every free night, each knowing he probably would not survive the next bombing mission. Written with blunt honesty, wry humor, and insight, The Wrong Stuff is Smith's gripping memoir of that time.

Wonderful book...Could not put it down.
Revisado: 11-27-14
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
A very big YES! I figured it would take me or week or so to finish this. That's what is normal for a 9 hr book. Wrong! I finished it in one day. Just could not stop listening. Listened while preparing for Thanksgiving, listened while taking a walk, listened while just sitting. No TV for me today! My husband was getting a little frustrated at my having ear buds in all day but..if I can convince him to listen to it, I'm sure he'll understand
This was one incredible book. And let me emphasize that this is not JUST a kids book. Although they will love it. This is that rare kind of book that everyone can enjoy and that will leave you with a smile that may last for days! I plan to make this a once a year listen. ( if I can wait that long. ) Merry Christmas to all! This sure got me in the spirit, even though it's Thanksgiving day as I write this.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Hard to chose but really liked Oliver and Molly.
Which character – as performed by James Killavey – was your favorite?
Again...hard to choose. He did them all well. Really liked the voice of the Grandmother.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Almost did....with breaks...but still heard it all in one day.
Any additional comments?
Never wrote a review before and I don't usually gush but...WOW...This was fantastic.
Just hate that's it's over.....On to check out the author's other books and hoping he uses the same narrator.
