A Drama of Survival of Liberty In Crisis

Revisado: 07-06-17

Would you consider the audio edition of The Walls of Freedom to be better than the print version?

Though I have not read the print version, I found that listening to the audio book compelled me to pay closer attention than I would to a printed book, in which I might often refer back easily to reread sections.

What other book might you compare The Walls of Freedom to and why?

History records many times when liberties were suspended during times of crisis. The book "They Were Expendable" by W. L. White comes to mind.

Have you listened to any of Sara F. Hathaway’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to samples before, but listening in the context of the entire narrative was much more compelling.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The account of enforced infertility.

Any additional comments?

Filled with drama and action, vivid character definition, and great storytelling, “The Walls of Freedom” audio book by Sara F. Hathaway presents a survival scenario after a devastating catastrophe in the U.S. that led me to realize how much I take for granted and how much I need to prepare for whatever lies ahead. In her own lively and creative way, the author instills survival knowledge and skills and triggers the wide range of difficulties and emotions that can and would arise if the world I’m comfortable in and take for granted falls apart. In the end, I’m left asking what kind of nation, city, community, and family do I want to live in, what kind of a person do I want to be, and where is the proper balance between individual freedom, justice, and liberty and governmental responsibility and social welfare? What are the limits of human rights in calm and in crisis?
