A Boring Story Badly Told

Revisado: 10-05-23

Don't waste a credit on this. Opens with a fizzle then nothing but more fizzle.

Surprisingly Awesome! It's A Must Listen!

Revisado: 10-01-22

I started it because it was free and I was credit-less. BUT what a nice surprise! Great performances by the whole cast. Hamm rocked it. The supporting actors were on-the-money authentic. And the story was really interesting. A bleak reminder of an America haunted by the red scare and the innocent people whose lives were ruined, the kind of paranoia that polarizes this wonderful country. Racist, fascist propaganda disguised as patriotism. I hoped this kind of idiocy and xenophobia was left in the 50's. But sadly...

Epically Unoriginal

Revisado: 09-10-22

Nothing but a phoned in space cowboy shoot-em-up. The narrator did the best he could with a story that should have gone in the trash. If you removed all the babbling and filler you could tell this story before the elevator arrives. Skip at all costs.

Good Book Spoiled By Horrible Performance

Revisado: 09-10-22

This narrator was SO boring as to be a safety hazard while listening in the car. I couldn't even get very far into it because I couldn't take it anymore. What a shame.

Thought Provoking Tale of Human Nature

Revisado: 05-12-20

Coming from an author known for fantasy this is a very realistic view of human nature. Not a blockbuster. Just a well written and creatively descriptive story about life in a small town, including the good and the bad thoughts, motivations, and actions of what real people are capable of. Although set in the UK it could be a small town anywhere, with its humans and their human nature.

Reads Like a Good Novel For History Buffs. A+

Revisado: 04-11-20

The author did a great job making this an easy listen. This book could have been so dry and crusty as to induce coma, but was very much the opposite.
He took great care to be realistic in the fact that there are so many unknowns. Few historical accounts so freely admit that they ( the author and their colleagues) just don't know something. However, he did cover the gaps with several possible and probable guess-timations, admitting he could be off base and what may have influenced a misunderstanding.
I liked that he covered little tidbits about other Mayflower historians through the ages, pointing out where they may be right or wrong and what new evidence or discoveries may put their conclusions into question. He combined modern day topographical references to what would have been seen in the 1600s. I'm a New Englander, so it was especially close to my heart.
I very much enjoyed this book and will look for more from the author. The narrator did a great job, too.
Next time, more pirates and more sex, please. But A+ all around, and a big recommendation for history buffs.

New Fans of Jack Ryan... Start Here!

Revisado: 11-08-19

This is an exceptional book read by a narrator who hit all the highs, It's a great starter for anyone hooked by the new Jack Ryan series with John Krasinski.
I just finished it and will be hitting all the Jack Ryan books in chrono order. Then I'll probably do it a second time.
Perfect, flawless, and an easy listen.

A Great Listen for Many Reasons

Revisado: 10-11-19

This book checked all of the boxes on my 'must have' list about aviation disasters. It is a perfect balance between technical detail, emotional impact on the world and the families, and the history of the McDonald Douglas company. The narration is well done, and the production and sound quality is superb.
Aviation buffs are the not the only ones who will enjoy this.
This is now on my list of perennial favorites.

OMG This Is Boring

Revisado: 09-04-19

I have listened intently to many long audio books about history, things that would make other people fall asleep at the wheel. I love them. But this is a boring book. It has the occasional interest tidbit. But waiting for those is agonizing. I really wanted to like it.

Schizophrenic Writing Style

Revisado: 08-24-19

I really wanted to finish the last few hours of this book because of the subject. It's impossible to follow because of the writer's propensity to continuously jump from one quote to another or from one time frame or location to another without lending any decent amount of informative writing so that the listener can make the appropriate connections. It's like looking at a bunch of Legos on the floor and trying to imagine what they make when put together.
Horrible writing. The narrator did a great job with what he had to work with.
Avoid this title at all costs.
