Great book

Revisado: 04-01-25

Very informative and made me realize how accurate information can be hidden with percentages. Old discoveries should be researched by new discoveries. Technology, myths, nutrition and pharmaceutical drugs change over time with new discoveries.

Amazing

Revisado: 03-12-24

This was a very good audible book. From the story line to the actors reading the dialogue. Highly recommend for those who want to know more about the tragic times that the Jews and Gypsy’s had to endure during WWII. The resistance was amazing and should be commended although we will probably never know most of these unsung heroes.

Draza Mihailovich hero to us all and 512 pilots

Revisado: 03-29-16

It was interesting to learn of this unknown hero and what he did for the downed pilots. Many of these men would have died if not for the efforts of these freedom loving heroes. My respect for the Yugoslavian people has gone up ten fold. I will never look at these people the same way again. This is truly a book of two stories and possibly three. The liars like Klugmann and Tito and how they deceived the British and US. The love story between two lost souls and the rescue of some 512 pilots and crew members shot down over Nazi Germany.

With Great Intreat

Revisado: 03-21-16

What a wonderful story of adventure and history. I had know idea of the services and the intelligent nature of these largest of land mammals. The work the and community that these elephants share with one another is amazing and then to find that they were of valued service to the war and saving of refugees is nothing short of a miracle.

Inspiring

Revisado: 03-06-16

This book provokes and inspires one to follow that dream to do that which only you know how to do. Very thought provoking to provide steps to start or grow a new business or idea. This will be a re-read or listen to see what I missed the first time through.

The historical references and images of the time were priceless. Attention to detail in the various events kept me coming back for the next chapter.

Interesting life death and happy ending

Revisado: 12-13-15

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

First off a 59 year old is not normally as old or as bitter with life as this person. This guy was ready to just quit on life because of a tragic occurrence in his personal life. This is understandable but someday this may or could happen to any of us. It's life...live it accept it..move on.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I enjoyed the memories of his life and home as seen through his eyes.

What three words best describe George Newbern’s voice?

Bitter, Sad, surprised

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No

Many Life Twist but always while continuing Plot

Revisado: 12-06-15

Would you listen to The Life We Bury again? Why?

Good book to listen to again as they are several side plots that were explored well but could be deeper. The mother has issues but how did she get this way and why.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Life We Bury?

Discovering why Carl might not have been a hero in Vietnam.

Which scene was your favorite?

One of my favorite scenes was when Lila came over for dinner.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Given the time I could have listen to this on all in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

Overall this was a very good book, it brought up a lot of different emotions, was loaded with many unforeseen plot twist, and tied up most of the lose ends rather well.
