Unexpected Gem

Revisado: 07-23-23

Historical nonfiction at its best by a very good author and read by one of my favorite narrators. Accents always spot on. Locations and details well researched by author.

Very disappointing production

Revisado: 04-27-23

The narrator, director, editor and anyone else responsible for the neglecting to see that the Hawaiian words were pronounced correctly should be embarrassed. The emphasis on changes the meaning of words and incorrect pronunciation of the vowels caused me to stop on chapter 3. So frustrating to hear the language I grew up with butchered. I will buy the book and record it myself to get the full story. I’m very surprised the author let this recording pass to the public. I’m going to seek my money back. No huhu but very pilau. No aloha for this presentation. I have no idea if the story is any good but had to give it a star in order to get review submitted.

More than I expected

Revisado: 11-28-22

Many paths converged affecting Ruth and Nelson’s lives. Unexpected, eerie, far-reaching. Familiar characters highlighting that life continues whether you want it to or not.

A real treat

Revisado: 11-09-22

I really appreciated the choice of Stuart Blinder as narrator. I've read all the Red wall books and listened to all the Red wall books. I like this version as I don't always want to hear the music; as good and enjoyable as it has always been. Blinder voices all the characters very well. The story and development of it and characters are always a treat. more of the series, p!ease, with Stuart as narrator!

Fabulous and Hopeful

Revisado: 01-10-19

A true gem. Thank you Billy Crystal. Beautifully thought out and crafted with sound effects and very versatile actors. The story of the last hours in a man’s life and how he “handles” it as a very public individual, father and husband is full of humor and feeling. I highly recommend this recording and the story to everyone.

Captivating

Revisado: 09-12-18

I've read the series twice but I am entranced by the audio version. Boehmer makes it come alive just as I imagined it. The characters are fleshed out and landscapes brought to lushness or bleakness in well chosen words and phrases.

U Boats off the American coast?

Revisado: 08-16-18

I missed this information in school and now want to know more. But this story is more about people and learning to forgive. The author takes us from a puzzling find in his back yard to a woman angry with life, a young German in difficult straits and heartache to what is possible when people care about each other. Very well read by the author.

Factual, inspirational and must read for those desiring more information concerning World War II

Revisado: 08-10-18

My hat goes off to the author for all of his pains-taking research. The American German Jews brought to life has made a big impact on me. Hypocrisy, prejudices, turning a blind eye, focus, determination, family values, and moral values; I wonder where I fail in those. The narrator handled all the German, French words extremely well. There was even a touch of Russian. Very glad I chose the book.

My first in the series

Revisado: 08-04-18

I appreciates books in a certain order so I put this one as my 1 in the Redwall books. Jacques is wonderful with all of his characters rhymes, and locations. Having a group of actors portray the characters while he is the narrator is Jacques is perfect. The only jarring note in this book is the voice supplying calling the chapters. So out of context and almost depressing.
I have read all the books 3 tomes and I’m on my second go round of audio. Not all books are on audio.

Narrator not my favorite

Revisado: 04-16-18

I adore Elizabeth Peters. Have read all her books many times. Thought I would give this narrator a try. I had and still have issues with her pronunciation of many key words. They kept getting in the way of my enjoyment of the story.
