the history

Revisado: 04-16-24

i delved into this wanting to get a thorough historical perspective. it was going very well, however the narrator deep breath break in between sentances was very distracting. I listen with ear pod earphones and get detail audio sound. I could not stand the distraction and just stopped listening. unfortunate

Great historical fiction coupled with action

Revisado: 08-30-23

I've listened to all the books in this series and they sure draw you in. JT London has done a outstanding job with that. Truly enjoy historical fiction that ties and shares tid bits that we might not have otherwise gleaned from other stories. The different narrators were superb , where over time you begin to develop a picture of the different personalities and what they might look like. :) This will definitely make a great period piece and limited series for TV.

Great meticulous approach

Revisado: 01-26-23

the comparison was well done to show so much of the outright misrepresentation of the facts Hanna Jones tried to payout. its terrible that work folks continue to dwell on what happened over 160 years instead of highlights on the achievements made since then. Great narrator

Great overview and easy to follow.

Revisado: 03-12-19

Great overview and easy to follow. However there were time that the narrator mis-pronounced names and Caribbean dialect that was a bit frustrating. i.e. Grenada is pronounced (grih-NAY-da) not Granada as in Granada Spain. Otherwise good . would recommend to others.

A miniseries should be next and long over due

Revisado: 10-30-17

A miniseries should be the next undertaking to bring some of the West Indies / Caribbean history to life . Fast moving , but well written and read. You almost feel that you're in the scenes when the events are happening. incorporating fiction with historical facts is an interesting way in telling the stories, but it keeps you interested in the outcome. Will definitely be an eye opener for folks who are oblivious to the West Indian people and it history and the parts the Empires played

Enlightening history worth the read

Revisado: 07-07-17

I'm from the West Indies and wanted to get a detail history of how things evolved over the centuries. This was good. Only issue, the narrator consistently mis-pronounced words in the way West Indians would. the emphasis was on the wrong letters and it became frustrating e.g. she'd say Gr"a"nada instead of Gr"e" nada, and a few others like that. Overall, the author did an outstanding job connecting so many pieces of island history in very educational and informative read. I'd recommend to any history buff.
