An excellent story

Revisado: 02-29-24

I enjoyed the book very much. The story held my attention, created a picture of events, and had interesting character development. My only complain is there were several places where the recording repeated; more than a few times. I think better editing or oversight is needed.

Another Preston-Child winner

Revisado: 09-17-23

This is a terrific book. It falls into the “can’t put it down” category. I would like a little more Nora Kelly but still the book kept the reader intrigued to the end. My only complaint is the narrator mispronouncing some words. A very good read.

Excellent book

Revisado: 06-03-23

The performance of this book is amazing and Preston-Child have out done themselves. In reading all of their books, I somehow missed this one and the story starter of Nora and Smithback is so well written and fascinating. The descriptions of the areas in the book makes the reader/listener feel like being right in the area. Bravo!

Very interesting insight

Revisado: 11-18-22

This book was a great insight into the history of Germany before the American involvement in WW II. Tom Weiner gave an excellent reading and emphasized the author’s writing when necessary. I highly recommend this book.

As a fan of The Godfather, I found this book fascinating. I watched “The Offer” so it seemed only natural to follow up with this book. Phil Thron gives a great performance. He reads as if he was there through the entire production. I recommend this book to anyone who has a love for movie making and background.

A beautiful and tragic story

Revisado: 10-05-21

I read this book many years ago as a young woman but I don’t think I appreciate it as much as I have now. Paul Michael gives a flawless performance. I highly recommend this book. The history behind the story gives great insight into Israel’s constant struggle even in today’s world.

Excellent! A must read forGodfather fans

I loved the story. The back story is so vivid and gives a complete picture of the Corleone Family. Bobby Cannavale was superb. As he read and the voices changed per character, I was truly listening to Vito, Sonny and the others as they were in the film. BRAVO!

The story and performance superb!

Revisado: 02-18-21

The story and performance was fantastic but the audio book itself left much to be desired. There were at least six different places were sentences or several were repeated. At first, I thought it I had accidentally hit the back button. Then, I was across the room when it happened again or I was driving. Needless to say, this was annoying and bothersome. I believe a bit of quality control is needed.

Eagerly awaited, did not disappoint

Revisado: 01-22-21

I enjoyed the book very much. The story was well thought out, the characters described to make them come to life and the locale again proved to be a good choice. I like the Cori Swanson character but I would have preferred if the book was more Nora Kelly. I am hoping that with the ending, Nora is headed to bigger things (I do not want to create a spoiler). As to the narrator, Cynthia Farrell, I was fine until my favorite character (spoiler alert), Pendergast, shows up with an English accent. Is the narrator not aware he is from the South? I was very disappointed she could not add a Southern draw to him. He is a quintessential character and deserving of a correct intro to the book. Thank you Preston and Child for another addition to my library.

What is not in history books.

Revisado: 01-02-21

I liked this short book because it gave insight to the rise of antisemitism and how much Germany influenced some of the people in this country long before the UnitedStates entered WW II. There are comparisons which are happening in this country today that are frightening. When one reads or listens to this book, it is as if things have not changed or people have not anything from history. And again, when those who are put upon strike back, they are criticized for their actions. For a short book it is very powerful ... a good read.
