Disappointed

Revisado: 09-21-24

As a NE Ohio native who graduated from high school in 1967, many of my classmates went to nearby Kent. I chose instead to not tempt fate (i.e. possibly getting drafted and going to Vietnam) and enlisted for guaranteed schooling (electronics) in the Navy instead. I can't really remember why but this pitiful blot on our nation's history mostly escaped my attention at the time. When I saw this title pop up, I decided to try it and see what I could learn. Plus, I've listened to Mr. VanDemark's book about how we got sucked into Vietnam and enjoyed it. I'm a little more than half through this one (the shootings have just occurred) and I'm done. In my view the reader is poor, making the redundancy (particularly the foul language) I've found throughout the story very tedious. What I heard so far however piqued my interest and I've instead gone to Wikipedia and satisfied whatever curiosity I had regarding the incident in about 15 minutes.

love the reader. This story really enlightened me about that horrible, senseless war. Keeps me thinking about the vets who were there and struggle even still so many years later.

A Very Difficult Listen

Revisado: 08-26-23

I've still got about 7 hours left but really need to vent my frustration with the production of this audiobook. I can understand where there might be occasion to cut out and paste over reading errors, etc. But I have never experienced such a chopped up presentation in all the years I've been listening to audio books. I'm listening along and then all of sudden it sounds like the reader is in an empty coffee can, and then just a quickly it's back to normal. This has been cyclic throughout the book and has caused me to almost quit several times, but the story, while tedious at times, is too good to pass up.
