This READER!!!

Revisado: 06-29-22

I will now search for anything narrated by Adjoa Andoh! She is amazing!
Most of the time, there are always little quirks which I don't enjoy from the narrators. But THIS ONE! She is wonderful!
I have loved every story by Philippa Gregory - this one is one of her best.

Loved this story, but...

Revisado: 01-22-22

I wish authors wouldn't skip around in the story when writing a biography.
I much prefer a strict chronological telling of a life.
This reader is "okay", but doesn't give much life to the story with his voice.
I loved the story, and since I live in Texas and have visited Fredericksburg many times, touring the museum which now occupies what was once the Nimitz Hotel, I enjoyed hearing all of this history.
I'm so glad to know how honored the Admiral was, and how he stood up as an icon for our country throughout his life.

I do not like this reader

Revisado: 01-17-22

The reader's voice goes up and down in regular intervals and it seems like she doesn't really pay attention to what she's reading. Very poor, in my opinion.
Another review said they thought the writer didn't even like Hedy. I can agree with this. Don't even think I'll finish the book - only an hour in. Bummer! What a waste of a credit!

Texans should all listen to this

Revisado: 01-14-22

Just two comments:

1. When a person is reading a book about Texas, they really need to consult with Texans on the pronunciation of Texas cities and names. Examples: Waxahachie (Walks-a-hachie - NOT Wax-a-hachie); Megargal (Ma-gargle, NOT Me-gar-gal); Miami (Ma-yam-a, NOT Miami like in Florida); 6666 Ranch near Guthrie, TX (4-6 Ranch - a reference to the poker hand by which the guy won the ranch, NOT sixty-six sixty-six). There were a lot more.... Anyway, -nuf said.

2. The reader's delivery seemed stiff - and no special voices for anyone, including women.

The book was great!

Wish this was a more organized story.

Revisado: 09-24-20

I loved learning about this amazing lady, however, I'm disappointed that the telling was so disorganized. I would have preferred it to be chronological. Instead, it skipped around here and there throughout her life with many stories repeated over and over. I will look forward to a better version of her life story.

GREAT listen!

Revisado: 09-24-20

Sarah does an amazing job of performing her fabulous book. She is a wonderful story teller, and gives great insight into what the Trump White House was like while she was Press Secretary. I can hardly imagine what it was like to juggle her home life with her husband and children against her overwhelming job, but kudos have to be given to her family for helping her to orchestrate that. She was a powerful spokes-person for our President, and I have very much enjoyed her story.

Waste of money

Would like to exchange, but they aren't offering me that option. Hope I can find something better to listen to.

This reader is HARD to listen to

Revisado: 02-27-20

The story line is "okay", but the performance is very harsh-sounding, and gets worse as time goes on. I'm only into the 2nd books of this set, and I'm done. Don't like this reader AT ALL!

Not nearly the quality of other Wouk books

I loved Winds of War & War and Remembrance. This one wasn't nearly as good

Good book / poor narrator

Revisado: 12-02-07

Please consider before buying: The narrator reads in nearly a monotone and sounds like he has no idea how to do expression at all. There are certainly no accents or different voices for the different characters. He has a slight Boston accent and pronounces the word "picture" incorrectly. Since pictures are mentioned frequently, this becomes very irritating. I considered abandoning the book because of the boring narration. Very poor quality - very disappointing!
