Great story

Revisado: 10-03-24

Story became a little preachy at times. Lots of plot twist kept the interest up. Found it hard to stop sometimes when arriving at my destination.

So much happened in the summer of ‘27

Revisado: 02-08-24

The story of ‘27 needs much background, and that information is supplied in a well told story. Even though I already knew some of the headlines the fun is in the details.

Learned about this book while in Savannah

Revisado: 03-04-23

While on a tour of the Mercer house I learned about this book. The tour guide gave us bits and pieces of the story, the book filled in the rest. An enjoyable listen. Highly recommend this book.

Factual content only

The true life story was great, but the way it was told was like ready from an encyclopedia.

Great story!

Revisado: 05-22-15

One of the best and most engaging stories I have heard. The way it starts out, then goes back in time to fill in the characters really kept me listening. It's set in WWII, but is much more than a war story.

Good story, loose the email headers

Revisado: 02-08-15

I liked the story and the performance. The continuous repeat of the email headers, especially when there was a long sequence of them, was frustrating and tedious. If I were reading the book I would have skipped over the headers.

The lives that could have been saved

Revisado: 12-11-12

What did you love best about The Second World War?

Winston Churchill's knowledge of what was transpiring was quite extensive. You can see some similarities with more current situations of the last 20 years or so. Sometimes it is better to stand up to a tyrant from the start as it sets up the direction your future relationship will take. This is often the advice given children when trying to deal with a bully in school.

Who was your favorite character and why?

You have to love Winston. Sometimes he comes off as pretentious but mostly he is humble about his part in the affairs leading up to WWII.

Any additional comments?

Great reading by the narrator, British accent and all.

What made the experience of listening to 1776 the most enjoyable?

I guess I had previously heard that the revolutionary war was almost lost in the beginning, but after this book I can really appreciate just how close we came to losing and how lopsided the two warring armies were.

What did you like best about this story?

Great detail on what was happening. It was great to hear the colonial and British perspectives side by side.

Any additional comments?

Should be required reading in High School for US History.

What was one of the most memorable moments of In Cold Blood?

The time Perry Smith spent in the local jail, being attended to by the wife of the Jailor as he went through the trial. It was amazing how such a feeling and caring person, who charmed a wild squirrel to become his pet, could turn into a cold blood killer, the one who killed all four family members.
