Absolutely Outstanding Listen

Revisado: 04-22-25

I've listened to 100's of books and countless books on WWII. This is definitely in my top ten. I learned so much about the POW's taken by the Japanese, I learned about the women's WAVE group, and also about the sinking of the ship with the POW's on board. The story was so well told and the narration was top notch. This book brought tears to me. I highly recommend. Most definitely worth a credit.

A New Look at WWII

Revisado: 04-19-25

I loved the different narrators! That really added so much depth to the story. I really felt like I got to know each character. The story is different from all the other WWII books I've read, but ultimately the same as they all shared in the grief and loss of that time period. I highly recommend this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Exceptional Book!

Revisado: 12-22-24

This could absolutely be a movie. This whole series has been good, but I think this was my favorite book. I really hope there is a follow up, or 4!
The sex scenes are a little too much, very graphic. So definitely need to listen to this with headphones on. Overall, I am anxious for more!!

Absolutely Outstanding

Revisado: 05-30-24

This is probably one of the best books I've listened to in a long time. The story is so well written and it all flows together so well and it really pulls your heart Strings! He also narrates the book and he's outstanding. Very highly recommend!!!

Not for me!

Revisado: 05-18-24

I like a lot of different books and genres, and don't mind harsh language ,usually, but wow was this over the top. I was really happy when this was finished. The narrator was hard to get into when she changed characters because they all sounded the same. Definitely don't recommend if you can't handle the harsh language!

Family!!

Revisado: 03-12-24

I absolutely loved this book. Such a sweet story and I could feel all the family conflict, but also the love that binds siblings together. And of course, you can never go wrong with Juila Whelan!! She's the best narrator.

Sweet Surprise!

Revisado: 02-28-24

I was very pleasantly surprised with this new series starter. It was actually quite funny, along with being a good story. I'll definitely check out the next one. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I personally like longer books. But definitely worth it as I really enjoyed it.

So Ridiculous!

Revisado: 02-28-24

This book was mediocre at best. I forced myself to finish it. The story is so unrealistic and unbelievable, that most of the time I was rolling my eyes. I'd skip this one and find something better!

Not Worth a Credit

Revisado: 09-07-23

I love all, or so I thought, of Irina Shapiro's books. This was just ok. The story was slow and redundant in the telling of it. It all comes together at the end, but unless I give a spoiler, I was extremely disappointed with the reason they were left on the island!! So over this reason for everything now a days!!! I wish I had gotten this as a daily deal instead of using a credit.

Horrible Narrator!!!

Revisado: 07-26-23

The overall story was great, especially towards the end. But the narrator was horrible. He made female voices for male characters, he made the 4 year old son sound like a toddler. One character voice he did sounded like Frosty the Snowman. If they redid this book with a new narrator, it would be a lot better.
