I liked that she narrated the book. I’m a registered democrat and appreciate she puts country first. Not that I would vote for her for president, I don’t like the republican policies and very happy with President Biden. But it’s comforting to know all republicans aren’t trumpers.

Rarely find it hard to finish a book.

Revisado: 06-16-19

I have never read a book written by some one so self absorbed as Chris Kyle. His aim in life was to kill as many Iraqi's as possible and showing so little concern about taking a life, never mind that they were defending their country, their god and their home and families. As a sniper he had all the advantage, there was nothing heroic in his actions. If you are or like an ego maniac "he man" then maybe this book would be to your liking. To me it was just another appalling chapter in a war instigated for money by men who had no thought for the hundreds of thousands of lives that it affected.

Second Time Listening...

Revisado: 02-14-16

I began reading Into The Wilderness series 3 or 4 years ago. I love long historical novels so these have fit very nicely into my library. When book six "The Endless Forest" became available I bought it to finish out the series. I decided then to go back and read the entire series again in order, with no distractions. I must say, if possible they were much more enjoyable the second time around. How can anyone find fault with Kate Readings narration, perfect. I highly recommend the series.

A Good Read

Revisado: 09-05-15

I was hesitant to buy this book from the reviews I had read. However I enjoyed it, I thought it wrapped up the series in a neat bundle. It reviewed just enough that it brought the series alive again. Through the years I had forgotten some of the story.

Total Waste of a credit...Don't waste your time!

Revisado: 09-05-15

Would you try another book from Ronald Kessler and/or Alan Sklar?

No

What could Ronald Kessler have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

If you are a right wing conservative it will right up your alley.

Any additional comments?

How can the Democratic Presidents of the last 50 years all be so horrible to work for and Republicans all be so sweet and accommodating.

Just could not get into the book...

Revisado: 11-20-14

I bought the book because of the reviews...time period and length....I like long books, something I can listen to for a week. For some reason I just couldn't get into the book, the narration is not good. I'm on chapter 19 and I just don't get it. It's a waste of a good credit.

Really didn't know what to expect..

Revisado: 03-16-13

I read the reviews, and was interested in the subject matter. I could listen to Scott Brick read a menu, so I didn't see how I could go wrong, I wasn't. John M. Barry told the story of the 1918 Influenza pandemic, in vivid detail, and of course Scott Brick was true to form in his narration. And, I will never miss a year getting my flu shot again.

Not Rutherfurd's Best,but very good!

Revisado: 02-21-13

I am a huge fan of Rutherfurd, I love big books and history. I did listen to Russka twice back to back to firmly implant the family names in my mind, and I found I enjoyed it more the second time around. The book gave me a little different view of Russian history than I had. All I can say is, it has to be good to listen to it twice. I found the narration of Wanda McCaddon very good as well. I had enjoyed her in Sarum.

I feel as if I have lived through the war.

Revisado: 04-18-12

Kevin Pariseau again is outstanding in his narration. I am old enough to vaguely remember WWII. I remember seeing newsreels of prisoners being shot, pictures of the concentration camps. I now feel like I have been there. By the time you are finished reading (listening) to this book each character is a person you know well, I read the hard cover of this book years ago and loved it, but the audio version is so superior. After 50 some hours later of listening, I was very sad to have it end and actually went back several chapters and listened again.

One of the best WWII books ever written.

Revisado: 04-18-12

I, as many others read this book in the hard cover, I watched the mini series as well. The audio version surpasses all. I loved it...I'm a avid history buff, will read most anything to do with history. The detail is fantastic, you feel you know the characters.
The narration is great, Kevin Pariseau is probably one of the best, he does women, you know who they are without being told, he sings as well. I'm so happy to have this book in my library. Now I will listen to War and Remembrance.
