Outstanding

Revisado: 08-04-22

The story is excellent. Great characters and. Wry well written. But the narration is simply fantastic. Hands down the best narrator I’ve heard, and I’ve listened to hundreds of books. I own the paper version, but when I read it I only hear this narrators voice. Well done!!

Broken

Book starts somewhere in the middle of the story with its playback. Needs to be fixed.

Outstanding book

Revisado: 05-04-17

One of the best written and informative books I've come across about the War of 1812. Written in a captivating and steadily interesting way, and the narrator did an exceptional job as well, slight mispronouncing aside. Overall it's easily fallen in as one of my favorites.

I would prefer an unabridged version personally, but that can't take away the outstanding narration and overall story as written by Toll. Great on all accounts

Too much fluff

Revisado: 01-06-17

Was hoping for a good book about the animal itself, but sadly this is filled mostly with authors opinions and a bunch of non-related crap, for lack of a better word. You can skip the first two chapters completely and not miss anything. The actual facts could be compressed into about a one hour read and be done. Just a huge waste of time

Potential lost

Revisado: 12-31-16

This could easily be a great book and a great listen. However, the author somehow managed to make one of favorite topics extremely dry, and then they topped it off by putting one of the most monotone and boring narrators I've ever heard to read it. Couldn't finish it. Literally the only audio book thats ever put me asleep at the wheel. Such a great topic turned out so terrible. Sad

Read the book

Revisado: 09-05-16

This is an outstanding book that is brought to audio with a less than stellar narrator. Super odd pauses and awkward word inflections that clearly marks a severe grammatical deficiency by the narrator prevents you from ever becoming as fully invested in the story as the story itself deserves. That being said, the strength of the story itself will allow you to at least complete it. At which point you curse the audio publisher for preventing this from being the auditory experience that it clearly should to be. Outstanding writing by Lacz. Terrible reading by Phillips.

Terrible

Revisado: 06-21-16

I've read the book, which is pretty decent. Not the writing style I prefer, as it tends to drag things out and tell things in advance of actually telling them in the story itself. But the narration here is horrid. Like listening to paint dry. I've tried numerous times and can't make it past the second chapter. I listen to these while I drive, and literally found myself being put to sleep by the terrible monotone of the narrator.

Good stuff!

Great book. Well written and very informative. I just hate when narrators get military jargon wrong. And I can't say I've listened to a book that's got it right yet. But this guy gets some pretty basics wrong. Otherwise he did a great job
