Why we think it’s a great listen: A performance so poignant, we gave Bronson Pinchot (yes, Balki from Perfect Strangers) our inaugural Narrator of the Year award.... In the monsoon season of 1968-69 at a fire support base called Matterhorn, located in the remote mountains of Vietnam, a young and ambitious Marine lieutenant wants to command a company to further his civilian political ambitions. But two people stand in his way.

Starts slow, but hang with it
Revisado: 08-01-24
Fantastic book. I almost quit on it but I’m glad I didn’t. The first quarter of the book seemed like a lot of familiar war novel tropes- but it’s a slow burn to some solid character development and a heart breaking story. As a plus it’s a masterpiece of voice acting. BP manages to voice white characters, black characters, Bostonians, and Southerns of different classes believably.

In This Earthly Frame, David Sehat describes the making of American secularism through its most prominent proponents and most significant detractors. He shows how its foundations were laid in the US Constitution and how it fully emerged only in the 20th century.

Even-handed, well-reasoned, accessible
Revisado: 01-18-23
Maybe few issues have been more divisive in American history than the nexus of religion and the state. This book does a good job telling the story of not only the legal decisions, but the societal, theological, and philosophical environment in which they were made. Despite the fact that a great deal of it has to do with the legal history, I found it accessible and that it moved at a reasonable pace.
The narrator is solid.

In his best-selling first book, Jeremy Wade, the star of the hit TV series River Monsters, memorably recounted his adventures on six continents in pursuit of fish of staggering proportions and terrifying demeanor. Now "the greatest angling explorer of his generation" (Independent on Sunday) returns to delight listeners with a book of an entirely different sort, the book he was always destined to write - the distillation of a life spent fishing. Thoughtful and funny, brimming with wisdom and above all, adventure, these are pitch-perfect reflections....

Good for fishing folks and non-fishermen alike
Revisado: 06-18-21
Technical enough for even seasoned fishermen to pick up a tip or two, but balanced with enough travel/adventure writing to engage those not interested in fishing at all. I love to hear authors read their works too. Jeremy does a great job.

Frontier: the word carries the inevitable scent of the West. But before Custer or Lewis and Clark, before the first Conestoga wagons rumbled across the Plains, it was the East that marked the frontier - the boundary between complex Native cultures and the first colonizing Europeans.Here is the older, wilder, darker history of a time when the land between the Atlantic and the Appalachians was contested ground - when radically different societies adopted and adapted the ways of the other, while struggling for control of what all considered to be their land.

Good content, well written, poorly performed
Revisado: 03-27-19
I'm buying the hardcopy. I'm about half way through and I'm really enjoying the writing and the content, but the reading...I found I can't listen while driving, its a safety hazard. The reading is so monotone and flat that I actually thought a computer program was doing the "reading".
