Author Excellent-Narrator Disappointing

Revisado: 07-25-23

I wish I had purchased the book. I am engrossed in this series and a fan of the author’s. I agree with the earlier reviewer who wished for a more experienced narrator. I was glad to find audible version available upon release though.

Loved narrator & story

Revisado: 02-14-23

Unlike some other readers, I thought the narrator was outstanding. I always love Sarah’s books but was a bit worried that this historical setting is too well known. I stuck with the story and didn’t actually find knowing the big picture history to be distracting at all. The way the Danes pulled together is such an illuminating tale, everyone should know it.

Complex, but beautiful

Revisado: 08-26-19

Stick with this one to the very end. Sometimes I grew impatient with the way the tale jumps from person to person over a long time period. As it all comes together toward the end, the story and lessons are enormously satisfying and beautiful. I’m very glad I found this book. The audio version is excellent.

A Rare and Important Perspective

Revisado: 08-22-18

This book is part of a fictional series based on the true experiences of the authors grandparents, who resisted evil in WWII Germany at great personal cost. I haven’t found many other books that share this very important point of view. The story is as engaging as a spy thriller, but also very substantive and historically accurate.

I loved the narrator and was so glad Audible finally started bringing out this author’s work! Though I previously read the entire series, I enjoyed listening to the Audible versions while walking as much, if not more. Give this series a try! The author’s War Girls series also is excellent. I wish Audible would bring that series out with the same narrator.

Engrossing

Revisado: 01-30-17

I liked both the characters & story. Personally I enjoyed the sound of the narrator's voice and thought she fit the tale well, but some reviews reach a different conclusion. Thus, if you have the chance to check a sample, you might want to do so. If you are a person who is irritated by the narrator, I recommend you still give the book a try if you enjoy fiction set in WWII. I listened to the story while walking and found it perfect for keeping me engrossed & motivated on a cold winter day.

Timeless Story

Revisado: 02-27-16

A good book to read or listen to In this divisive year. RBG has so much to teach us all! I have watched the Justice tell her story many times and thought I might be disappointed by this book--I was pleasantly surprised that the audiobook is very well done. Great listen during walks and story that never ceases to inspire me.

Refreshing Angle on FDR

Revisado: 01-15-15

Excellent narrator. Engaging, well-written story. Not just a rehash of other books. I thought the author was very insightful and enjoyed the book. Have listened twice already.
