Sophomoric, shallow overview of plot and characters. No analysis, zero depth.
Amateurish, tangle-tongued narration.
Just god awful.

Interesting, but a bit dry, and dated.

James A. Michener tackles the most ambitious subject of his career: space, the last great frontier. This astounding novel brings to life the dreams and daring of countless men and women - people like Stanley Mott, the engineer whose irrepressible drive for knowledge places him at the center of the American exploration effort, and Norman Grant, the war hero and US senator who takes his personal battle not only to a nation but to the heavens.

Wonderful story made totally lifeless by narration

Michener and this book deserves better than this automatonic reading.
Still, I recommend.
Just wish Paul Michael or Kevin Pariseau narrated.

One month in 1865 witnessed the frenzied fall of Richmond, a daring last-ditch Southern plan for guerrilla warfare, Lee's harrowing retreat, and then, Appomattox. It saw Lincoln's assassination just five days later and a near-successful plot to decapitate the Union government, followed by chaos and coup fears in the North, collapsed negotiations and continued bloodshed in the South, and finally, the start of national reconciliation.

I'll request an exchange. Mr. Winik's narration ruins what the first minutes promise to be an interesting book.

The Aspern Papers, one of Henry James best-known shorter works, is based on a story he heard about a collector of Shelley's manuscripts who attempted to acquire valuable letters from a mysterious old woman living in Florence. Set in beautiful Venice, James' elegant tale of suspense and romance takes the reader down the canals and inner chambers of a bygone era.

What an exquisite tale. No one writes as evocatively, as vividly, with such stunning insight, and with such gorgeous prose as Henry James. A wonderful narration as well. A most enjoyable listen.

In 1971, Arnold Passman's The Deejays was the first book to closely examine the rise of the disc jockey - the tribal chieftains who manipulate (and possibly create) popular taste with every spin of the turntable. It became the "go-to" reference book on the subject for decades thereafter. From Martin Block to "Jazzbo" Collins, Alan Freed to Murray the K, Wolfman Jack to Rosko, this is the definitive saga of the men behind the music. Long out-of-print, this volume is now presented in digital form.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Alan Douglas?
Daffy Duck
So many mispronounced words! "Patois" is pronounced 'pat Wah' not 'PAT oh is'.t's "remuneration', not "renumeration" Many other egregious mispronunciations. A very unprofessional effort.

The anchor of The O'Reilly Factor recounts one of the most dramatic stories in American history - how one gunshot changed the country forever. In the spring of 1865, the bloody saga of America's Civil War finally comes to an end after a series of increasingly harrowing battles. President Abraham Lincoln's generous terms for Robert E. Lee's surrender are devised to fulfill Lincoln's dream of healing a divided nation. But one man and his band of murderous accomplices are not appeased....

What disappointed you about Killing Lincoln?
Bad history, sophomorically presented. A book for children.O'Reilly's narration is as abominable as his writing.
Would you be willing to try another one of Bill O'Reilly’s performances?
Never
