Heartbreaking

Revisado: 12-04-23

I knew going in that this was to have no happy ending. The sample, the narrator held me, so I downloaded it,,,
And could not stop listening. Finished the same day I started. A good portion of the book I spent with my head in my hands, trying to comfort my heartache. Still could not stop listening. This author and this narrator have moved me more than any others and I’ve read and listened to thousands of books over the years (in my 70s). I don’t do much tv, I love books. This author and narrator are now at the very top of my list. This story will never leave me. I am so thankful to audible “included” for introducing me to these two artists!

Very enjoyable continuation of Norm’s story line

Revisado: 10-08-23

I have read all the Slater&Norman series and enjoyed them. Found the character driven police procedural very enjoyable. I came to “know” Dave & Norman. Had since switched mostly to audio books. Recently downloaded this on kindled unlimited and accidentally discovered the audio book ON SALE and immediately purchased it. #2 is available for free on the included section, which I have downloaded and am starting on now. I like that PF Ford delves into the characters lives as much as the crime AND that his stories feel very true to life, the people and the crimes. Like that Norm is back at work where he belongs! I’ll probably be doing some back to back PF Ford for a bit, just not always on Audible. Have to keep tabs now on Norm and his new “family”. Enjoyed this narrator, his voice for Norm is perfect.

Excellent

Revisado: 05-07-22

A tad slow in beginning,,, then totally engrossing. This will stay with me till I die I believe. Story tells history, of time and place, and human interaction, good and bad. The story is BRUTAL, SO VERY SAD and very moving, and VERY BEAUTIFUL. I listened to this for free on audible plus but will also be purchasing it, I want to own it so I can enjoy again whenever I want. Narrator also excellent and will check into what else she has done. You won’t be sorry investing in this book.

INTERESTING

Revisado: 02-27-22

This isn’t exactly a “normal” type of book. It does not really have a plot to it. But it will hold your interest and keep you going back to it. It is about life, real life. It has tense moments. Funny, stupid moments, endearing moments. There is sadness that will break your heart and fear for a young couple in dire circumstances. It didn’t seem to end so much, more the story just stopped. I wish there was more, if we are lucky there might be a sequel to this book. In the meantime we can imagine the future of these people lives however we want, they seem so real. I really enjoyed this story.

Average ww2 story

Revisado: 01-20-22

I just don’t understand the 5star reviews at all. I will say enjoyed that it is centered on Hungary and the people, did learn things I didn’t know, which is always good. But this story is no more compelling than most ww2 stories I have read which has been many. It is NOT as compelling many others. It is a good story. But MUCH too long. Could have easily been cut in half at least. The first half gets so bogged down it gets tedious and boring, almost returned it after 10~12 hours! Left it several times and went back later,,,, but just didn’t live up to those in my opinion. Most of the time I knew what was going to happen before it got there. Not the first time I’ve been disappointed in raving 5star reviews, wonder if those are all “real”. Actually wish I had about 20 of those hours back.

FALSE ADVERTISING

Revisado: 01-16-22

4 plus hours in of an 11 plus hour book, is all about trump himself, NOT about the people that continue to follow and back him and his BS. NOTHING new here. I purchased this book, it said about understanding these people WHY they seem to considered him a demigod, and possibly how to relate to them. Will update this, the next chapter starts by mentioning his base,,,, NOT AT ALL IMPRESSED WITH THIS SO FAR, and if doesn't get to the purpose of the book quickly AND makes some sense, will return !
FOUR HOURS out of 11 hours of info already knew, info NOT ON POINT of subject as advertised is unacceptable.

not finished, will update

Revisado: 11-25-21

only half way through and feel a little bad for the three stars, BUT even as it is a pretty good story so far, much on the entire trip from the beginning to her life after,, the way the jumps in time (before and after of many years ) is TOTALLY CONFUSING causing WAIT, WHAT moments, backing up to get your sense of where you are, because there is NOTHING AT ALL hinting at the change, your in the mountains then your in California with her married with children,,,,
makes you lose the whole thread of the story. I've put up with it because the trip part of the story is very interesting, even though we know of its tragedy. If even only a date was given at the beginning of the change of the time period would make a world of difference! This would easily be a solid 4 maybe nearly 5 star. But am afraid that the time period problem will remain for the whole book. Is truly a shame. Will update when finish.

dissapointing

Revisado: 06-26-21

book ended when she was about 30 years old, before she even became empress. she was not first german empress and was only empress for about 99 days. the summary of this book is misleading to say the least. I bought on sale, was not worth it, much less a credit. dont understand the high ratings, I found it boring even tedious. Narrator had pleasant voice at least.
